Welcome to the BlackBerry!
I switched from a BlackBerry 7290 to the Pearl. The vibrate is probably less pronounced than the older one. The SK2 is real shaker! (My in-laws have them. My wife and I use BlackBerrys)
I wear my Pearl in my front pocket (shirt or pant) or in a BlackBerry lambskin swivel holster for Pearl attached to my belt.
Like you, I always use vibrate and flash LED and can feel it alert me most times.
I don't know how the SK3 compares to the SK2. I should ask another friend regarding those.
One thing to point out; the LED will stop flashing after a certain amount of time. It doesn't just wait for you to check your messages. For now, unless someone else knows, I will guess 5 minutes of flashing.
