A Pearl is hardly a solution for me, i cant stand its keyboard! it would be a waste for $150 for a year of using something that isnt practical for heavy email user.
Ill likely buy the 8G, and just upgrade in a year if im compelled. 8G is several thousand songs, plenty for a long trip. Lack of 3G does STINK, but im used to EDGE on the 8700 now anyways, and doesnt sound like a 3G BB is on its way with video/mp3/etc built in.

I am not crazy about the Pearl keyboard either, BUT the iPhone keyboard will be cr^p. How in the heck do you think you are going to do serious email on a touchscreen keyboard. Stop looking at Apply's little demo video and just imagine using this device from day to day as heavy email device. Pretty, yes, practical, NOT!
