One word of caution: as easily as the Pearl slips into your pocket, it will slip right out too if you aren't careful. This phone is quite sleek and therefor slippery. This was very costly discovery for me (and I'm not the type of guy that normally misplaces or loses things). I like the Pearl enough though to pay for another. Now I just need GPS and I'll be set. Thanks again... Thanks for the good info about GPS. One word of caution: as easily as the Pearl slips into your pocket, it will slip right out too if you aren’t careful.

I have had somewhat of a hard time encoding video for the Pearl, this is a good thread in the BB forums explaining how to do it. http://blackberryforums.pinstack.com/6948-original_video_encoding_8100_a.html It requires a fair bit of 'geek' to get it to work, why they would not provide a tool is perplexing, but maybe for the same reason you mentioned for not supporting turn by turn. But most importantly; I am speechless that Howard has daisy's in his car.

But most importantly; I am speechless that Howard has daisy’s in his car.
