not sure what i want (motorola Q9 or blackberry pearl) but have a few questions.

can you access the internet on the pearl?
which one is more reliable?

I was wondering the same thing here last month.. I had the Krazr.. and it was a pretty good phone.. but wanted to go smart phone.. really wanted to get a blackberry.. but after talking with a few people that own them.. I ended up going in the htc diamond touch.. its a very nice phone with internet and lots and lots of other goodies.. very happy with it so far..

I've had a Blackberry Storm for about a week now. I've still got some mixed feelings towards it. It's got pretty good reception and It works good overall. I'm just not sure how much i like the full touch screen. I can type/text faster on the old keypad, but I'm 100x better at it than the first day I had it. I'm thinking if i give it alittle more time it'll be a non issue. I also thought the battery life was iffy when I was at the farm in a rural area. Verizon says battery life should be better than my old phone, so it could have be me messing around with the phone all the time.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I typed this from my Blackberry. Yes, Snowest is available wherever you go.

The pearl is a pos. I could recieve picture texts, but couldn't send. The key pad is a qwerty key pad so if you are trying to call 1800snowest you have to actually know the number. All my personal emails were transferred to my pearl but any important business email would not be transferred. Murphy's law I guess.

thanks for the info.
i was leaning towards the pearl but now thinkin bout the Q(sisters got one)
2nd cousins got a pearl and not sure if he likes it or not.
keypad kinda looks a lil weird on it.

I've got a palm treo and it's a pos. The ol's Iphone is way better!

Actually....you can use the ALT key while typing, you just use alt and the letter. When you hit send it dials the correct number. :beer;

I have the bb curve and it is a good phone..... To me a full keyboard is mandatory... If it wasn't for working paying the monthly cell bill, I woul dhave the iPhone.... ANother one to look at....

Most smart phones can access the internet.... I don't care for the Mot Q... Kind of bulky compared to some of the newer smart phones, plus its motorola... Who knows if they will still be around in 6 mon...12 mon.... That company is one of the most phuked up companys I've ever dealt with....

Just got the Pearl and the old T Mobile at home deal.

didn't much like the phone at first....still getting used to it, But I am very pleased with it. typing is pretty easy now.

I'm sure I can get ont he web, but to be honest I don't need to from my phone. For they guy who can't get pictures, not sure how but when I was on the phone with service(a joke) they did something to enable it on my phone.

Reception has been good, stays clear even with 1 bar, but I have drove through dead spots and dropped a call.

I have the Samsung i760, have had it for a little over a year now and love it. Great battery life, can surf the web, never drops calls, I get better reception that my girlfriends normal flip phone, and it’s good to text on. They don’t make them anymore but I think the HTC touch is what replaced it. I don’t know what the HTCs screen is like but mine is pretty hard to see in the sun so I’m glad I have keys on the front of the phone and don’t have to use a touch screen to dial numbers. One thing with the all touch screen phones is you can say bye bye to answering the phone with gloves on unless it’s got a hard button to answer. My work phone is a treo and it might as well be a paper weight.

I-phone!!!! Blows them all away. If you've got 3g then cruising on snowest is just like sitting at your home computer.

snobunny21 · Jan 12, 2009

I used to have the pearl, I thought the key pad was a lil small even for my girly fingers. I ended up switching to the curve cause of the full keyboard. I really like that but I do have to say for all my web surfing I do the iphone is the way to go.

snow_knight · Jan 12, 2009

vector..

Its a little different to get used to for txt'n.. but i've got it figured out now.. as for reception.. its better out in the open and in the mountains than my previous phone.. however in my house its a little worse..

..

the internet is fairly fast on it.. and yes.. you can get on snowest..

bdubs · Jan 12, 2009

get the google phone. G1. buddies like it better then the iphone. tmob only tho.. i rocked a blackberry for the past 8 years but switched to the g1. no contest

vector boy · Jan 12, 2009

if i had the money i would go with the iphone or G1.
motorola sucks i know.
dad has a palm treo so no im not getting that bcuz itd be kinda weird having the same phone as your dad.
might go with either the pearl or curve.

There's only one choice...iphone. I was the biggest anti apple fan until I caved and bought an iphone.Thing is amazing. Example, I pull up music videos on youtube and plug it into my car stereo. Virtually any song on tap for free doing that.

Blu Du · Jan 12, 2009
