So I got the Pearl

Fucking stellar phone. By far the best phone I've ever used. Not just for the extra bullshit but as a phone itself it just functions so well. It works exactly as you would expect and then there are little features that just make you go "huh, thats really neat, why didn't anyone else do that?". I was a die hard fan of the Sony Ericsson interface but Blackberry just blew them out of the ocean. Audio quality is phenomenal. Screen is crystal clear even with video. The battery life seems great considering the features of the phone. My favorite feature so far has to be the threaded text message displays. It shows the entire, timestamped conversation between you and that contact when you open up or reply to a text.
I'm trying out the full blackberry service for a month but I don't think its worth the $20 so I will probably cancel.
In case you're curious about the size. Its the same size as the krzr (skinny version of razr) only a hair thinner. And its only $150 at t-mobile with an extended/new contract.

Thats only for new customers. I had to get an extension deal because I was already under contract. But yea, that is an amazing discount if you were looking for a new phone/service.

iPhone is cute but i'd prefer something non-proprietory that you can load any music/video on to

In the market for one too.
Sadly, im having to go CDMA, so options are quite limited.. Its either Alltell or Verizon. Only 2 carriers with signals where im moving. Fucking small towns.

This phone or the N75 are the two sexiest flips I've seen but I don't have any experience with their interface.

But don't get me wrong, I love Sony phones.

Ah yes, the bigger cock over the internet claim. Very original. I'm sure your "friends" are tired of hearing you complain about the poor quality graphics on your cell phone display.

if youre going to handle it so much, wouldnt you much rather have a matte finish or whatever its called?

Actually, I haven't had the chance to complain about jack shit, because 1 week after I bought the k800i, everyone else bought the same damn phone...
So I can only hope when my contract is up there are some snazzy new ones out.
Phones are in a bit of a lull atm. People are releasing new ones all the time but none of them are really any good. Nokia maybe... JUST MAYBE... Going back on top. And I fucking HATE Nokia.
