just like it says ladies and gents.
i already know about 23 people who purchased the pearl,
and only 2 of them have kept it so far.
The rest have gotten rid of there pearl for various reasons.

anybody else get rid of the phone also?

[secrecyguy]

No way! I keeping mine!

[brmcguire]

Keeping mine as well.

[odnerd]

Keeping it...

[kasperapd]

Keeping it... but using an 8700c every now and then also.

[word2218]

keeping mine

[krad]

best blackberry. PERIOD!

[kmccarthy]

got rid of it.

edit: i dont know "/ . I am so confused on what BB i want

[MythmbHurts]

Why would people get rid of such a cool fun sexy and very functionable BB? I have to ask!!!!!

BTW Hell ya i still have mine.

[jrdul6748]

Yeah, makes no sense to me.. considering how much it costs, what it does... People be crazy...

This poll would be more interesting if everyone identified how long they'd been a Blackberry user BEFORE buying the Pearl. There seems to be a large number of people who really don't know what they're buying -- and quickly dump the devices once they learn that a special data plan is required to get email and that the phones cannot be hacked readily.

I'm keeping mine even when I get the 8800. At that point I'll sell my 7105t but I'm keeping the Pearl as a spare. Sounds downright decadent and I love it!

[Ljay]

It's a keeper !!!

I agree 100% it seems old school long time BB users love the pearl since we had bricks before this and the pearl has the most features ever on a blackberry and seems that with a few OS UPGRADE'S has the chance to much much more in the future!!! I cant wait to see what this BB can do in a year from now! Video recording I bet will be on the new OS from T-mobile as well as some other cool stuff. This OS was pushed out the door so fast it seems they are taking there time on the new T-mobile OS upgrade to make sure all the little bugs are fixed and some new features are added. We b*tched and RIM listened thats for sure

Can an OS update really make the camera into a camcorder? Wow, I'm excited.

KEEPING MINE!! 2 years with a 7100t and the switch to the Pearl was seamless and I love it. It does have a few little quirks that I hope they resolve with OS updates but love it nonetheless.

[feron]

You can pry it from my cold dead hands...

[MistahQ]

keeping it! this is my first blackberry but i have had all sorts of win mobile os phones and hated them. pearl is a keeper

[jeffharris]

Keeping it for sure. It is sop nice and elegant to carry a smaller smartphone again (coming the last few years from the 8700, and various Sony Ericsson smartphones, and i-mates Windows phones). The only negative thing for me is the keyboard (size and suretype), but, I'm getting more used to it each week.

[jrdul6748]

So it's settled. The Pearl is obviously amazing and those who decide to return it are either player haters or just big dorks.
