It resolves one big issue I have with my pearl (and most phones with email aspirations) - size.  I had candy bar phones but as work requires a phone with email abilities that pretty much leaves me with a long list of craptastic phones (all blackberry models, palm's garbage, junk like the iPhone, etc).  The Pearl has worked great for 2 years - with one exception being the breaksge prone trackball.  Ideally with the new trackball inside the closed phone there's less chance of disrupting/hurting it.<br><br>Still curious why people care what a phone looks like.  Functionality for your needs is all that matters, imho.  Then again I feel the same way about car purchases - get the car you enjoy driving as the exterior is worthless.  Looks on tools = something for poseurs to worry about.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[YouFaceTheTick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 5th 2009 8:58AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon gets official with 3G BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230: $129.99 on June 19th]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/verizon-gets-official-with-3g-blackberry-pearl-flip-8230-129-9/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/verizon-gets-official-with-3g-blackberry-pearl-flip-8230-129-9/</guid><description><![CDATA[phone looks way better in person]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rafael Illan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 7th 2009 9:09PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
