"Pearl Update- I have been having a ton of issues with my 8703e reception wise and made an agreement with my corp rep that I would go to a phone only device until the next new PDA device is out, at which point they agreed and told me that the next PDA device will be the Pearl. She said that she will have pricing sometime next month and then it will be available beginning in June. I'm excited! I'm getting a free LG 8600 which got great reception at my home until the Pearl released and then I'll get my 2 yr contract price minus the corp discount. The other thing that she confirmed from the VZW specs is that it will be a Rev A device and will have the sure type keyboard and will be grey in color, not black or white."
