Being a normal cell phone user-turned-BlackBerry, the Pearl was the ultimate upgrade in my opinion. Also being a lefty, not that I'm not coordinated, the thumbwheel just seemed like such a hassle. The trackball is amazing, in my opinion, and the only thing I'd really probably upgrade on this thing are:

1) External microSD Slot & higher capacity
2) 2.0+ MP camera
3) Better speaker
4) Better media player (playlists and actual full-screen display for videos)

You can say that BlackBerries aren't made for these functions, but really, after their Pearl innovation, I'm pretty sure there's no turning back. Great first attempt though, in my opinion. I'm just surprised I only had to spend $200 for this thing, considering what I've paid for older phones and what I get out of this.
