Wow! No Wifi. I've been holding off from buying a pearl for that reason. Full qwerty or suretype doesn't matter to me. I recently had to have my 8700g repaired so I switched back to my 7100t, it worked fine. So except for the qwerty what's the advantage of the 8800 over a pearl. The pearl does have a camera if that matters. I thought the 8800 would have all the same features as the pearl plus have wifi. Seems like a step back.
