I notice I use the calender WAY more and the way the keys are set up its just flat out better than my 7130.

I agree that having my calendar at hand all the time is great.
I'm not sure having my e-mail with me all the time would constitute making my life easier...

The thing I like is the voice quality and reception. I use to have a Motorola V360... nice phone, but I could not get reception at home if my life depended on it. With the BB Pearl.. No problem. unless I'm in the basement, I always get a signal.

And I find the voice quality second to none...

I don't know about easier but it's more FUN!

Considering I came from having a Samsung E635 slider phone (the smallest cheapest thing I have ever seen) to a Blackberry Pearl, I am ADDICTED so bad. I find my pearl literally pulling me towards it constantly. I love the text messaging and email on it, they are absolute wonders compared to the other phones I have had in the past, and i do love the camera, even if it could be a lil better (my samsung had an amazing camera) I use the mp3 player on it for work (a total lifesaver working in a warehouse, let me tell you) and the fact that there are sooo many ways of customizing this phone to be yours and yours alone, I have a hard time remembering what life was like before I got my BB.

In the past 3 weeks I have become SO reliant on the calender Im lost when I dont have it in my posession. I dont have to remember all that crap like Dr appointments or meetings. I dont see using it for games though

Easier, maybe. More efficient and handling more, yes. And lets not forget fun.

i got my pearl 2 weeks ago. it has replaced so many other electronics. its almost the center of my life. i have all my contacts, all my school documents, word, pdf, etc..... i have a 4 gb micro sd card, i have my music collection and movies on the go. and i dont even have a data plan, which i am getting soon. cant imagine how much ill love it then !

I got my 8130 close to 1 month ago and during that time i'v been playing with it every spare second i have and didn't even notice my wife nagging or talking to me. So the answer is YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Coming from using a basic LG flip phone, I can certainly say that using the 8100 has made my life easier. I can't remember anything without some sort of reminder, and the calendar is the perfect tool for me. Also, the email being pushed to the phone? That's my favorite function of the Blackberry. I don't have to go online and check my email, it comes to me!

Take THAT Samsung Blackjack!

i got mine 2 weeks ago and purchased the unlimited data plan telling myself that 29.99/mo extra is not going to be worth it and that unless i find justifiable reasons

well
i found all my reasons
google maps and their semi-gps can help me locate myself in any spot
gcalsync for my life of gcalender and bb calendar
bbweather so i know how to dress before i get out of bed
ramble im just to chat away

cool internet browser/ing

now i wonder what i'd do if i couldnt pull up my calendar of life....
i <3 my pearl

[Jazzy99]

i just got it this wk and loved it........used to have moto rzr..got tired of that......now for sure i have to do lot of reading to learn all the options on this smart phone but i don't mind because this is the best phone i have ever used so far..

my eyes are bleeding from couples of days reading but i am enjoying it the more i read the more i found it interesting..........i have to go for more reading

[Danabw]

Yes...loving the:

- Full calendar on my phone
- Email & Web on the go
- Maps, maps, maps!
- No Verizon UI!!! :D :D
- IM

It ain't perfect, but it's very, very good...

Just out of curiosity what program are you using to edit your word docs? Do you use a file managing program as well?

Just curious to see how you manage this stuff.

Thnx
