I have switched..... but i switch back..... and back again...
I use both. The 8800 is awesome.... best feature? Battery Life!!!!! Battery lasts forever! Super bright screen...very sharp...
If you are used to the Pearl, the 8800 will feel huge in your hand, and the keyboard takes a little getting used to. But, once you get it down, the qwerty works great!
Still like the Pearl though....
That's why I use both
With the 8300, I don't know what I will do..... retire the Pearl??? perish the thought!
When I stopped using the 7130, I was depressed for a week...love that phone!
