Yahoo Tech reviewer Tom Samiljan likes the Blackberry Pearl, even though it's not as fast as some of its competitors. Check out his review at the Full Story link below.
"Now that I've had a chance to play around with it, I can safely say that it's quite possibly my favorite new phone this year, even though it only runs on the EDGE network for data (versus the faster "3G" high-speed EV-DO networks of Verizon and Sprint or the HSDPA network of Cingular Wireless). But enough about the network for now. What I reallly love about the Pearl is its solid and smooth software and efficient processing: So far, I haven't had any slowdowns or glitches."
