I'm with Verizon Wireless and never used a BB. I've been reading that the Pearl is still for business use but adds some consumer touches to it like the camera and picture messaging. Anyway, is there anyone on Verizon Wireless with a BB and how much do you pay a month? Right now, I have a regular phone but with a Premium Plan for $79.99 plus tax it costs me about $90 a month. With the BB plan would I go much higher than that? Right now I have unlimited use of email (year, basic email on a regular phone) and VZ Navigator which I use often. That's another reason why I am considering the Pearl because it has GPS. Is this something VW would disable?
