Yep, that’s right, I have sold out to the world of “crackberry” and I have to say, I’m hooked.  This phone (Blackberry 8100 Pearl) is awesome.  I am throughly impressed.  Not only does it handle email correctly, it allows third party applications, it handles phone calls well and it once I get fully use to have a QWERTY keyboard on my phone typing is going to be a cinch.  All in all, great buy (around $150 on eBay).  And FYI, I have an iPod with Video, so there is no reason that my cell phone needs to play music or do videos well.

Great phone, I think that I have been officially sold on Blackberrys.
