whoscalling,

Stop justifying the fact that the pearl isn't coming out for us in awhile ;). You and I are in the same boat - 8703 users itchin for something new and also something more multimedia oriented.

While the pearl may feel like a lesser build quality, it's sturdy as has been reckoned by many users. You got smaller form factor, lighter weight, same OS and more features. As for me personally, the verdict is still out on suretype.

Phinger,

I also used a Q. It had awesome phone quality but it was just plain sluggish and battery life was putrid. A few heads I know have been patient with it and updated the software and they all seem pretty pleased with it. I miss the phone quality, form factor and my NES Emulator + ROMs :D

Holdem will have to hold me over for now. Still can't crack the 150K pot.

Regards,
