It's OK. :)
BTW, nearly impossible to show actually size on the net. Because in general, without a TON of scripting, the size of the image is dependent on your screen size + resolution! That phone is like 2 inches tall on my screen. :p
I'm not a fan of such thin phones. Feels like I can break them too easily. :p |

But it is 2 inches tall! You have to press the phone buttons with a bent paperclip to dial the phone! :) |

| i'll pass. I don't like the style of keyboard. I want a full QWERTY. the 2 characters per button would piss me off. |

| BB ftl. the scroll wheel is cumbersome to use. i also like to be able to add programs to the device easily and quickly. the bb software is slow. its also easier to find apps for a windows mobile based device. i have used both the BB and i currently have an HTC Wizard (Cingular 8125 or Tmobile MDA) and love it. |

Wait for the Blackberry 8800. Full QWERTY, same thickness.
edit: The trackball doesn't lock, so you might miss some calls when the phone is in your pocket (once the trackball moves, the phone stops ringing.) RIM is working on a fix for this. |

zing.
p.s. Ben, the BB Pearl doesn't have a scrollwheel noub. :)
It has the new trackball in the middle of the phone.
Some people don't want their phones to run ty windows.
BB are great for business and actually working.
Playing games and g33king out with some crazy applications like an MDA, not so much.
everything can't be ftl now, that term is so last year. it's almost 2007 get with the program. :) |
