"Excellent Phone, Couldn't ask for more"
Pros: Great Camera, Well Designed interface, Runs quickly and smoothly
Cons: No MMS but thats not a big deal becasue you can email photos and such
Summary: Originally I hated Sprint, I had tried a few different phones and hadn't liked any of them. I was counting the days until my contract expired so I could move on and potentially get an iphone or a blackberry curve. After my Lg Rumor broke( not a good phone) becasue they didn't have anymore rumors in stock they allowed me to switch for a blackberry pearl. I have to say that a month later I'm still in love with this phone. It does everything I want it to do, it runs quickly and efficiently. It has a great 2 megapixel camera with a flash and 5x zoom, you can add some great applications such as google maps and facebook, and typing on it is easier than typing on a blackberry with a full keyboard. When my contract expires in april I might have to stay with sprint just becasue I love my blackberry pearl so much.

@ morreese4808
i know how you feel. i am currently purchasing a pearl of ebay because sprint would even get me a knew instinct. i've had this phone for 9 months and it didnt even work for 6 of them. i took it to sprint and they say nothing is wrong with it so they won't replace it even though it freezes randomly doesn't call people unless you cut if and back on because of signal fade and many other probs but there's nothing wrong. hmm. . . thank god for ebay and the pearl. i love em both. lol. -
please tell me sprint didn't just exchange your rumor for the pearl... haha i just bought a pearl off ebay after my fourth rumor in 3 months broke. sprint refused to replace my rumor and told me i would have to go through the insurance company to get it replace (with a $50 deductible on top of my $7 a month insurance). and this was after they had replaced it previously for the same problems. i'm not a huge fan of sprint, but i love the pearl
