Just got my pearl today!

Blackberry Pearl...cool...but not for me!
Blackberry pearl is a cool phone...i got the white...but i miss my sony ericsson phone it was more of a media phone...i could take good quality pictures and listen music and stuff and the ring was way way louder...this is definitely a business phone...and recommend it if you are looking for that...
