Well I can see not needing the plan. Like if you’re near a computer often enough to not need the web or email on your phone, but you’d still like to see your calendar, to-do list, etc. This kind of thing might be useful especially to the consumers (ie not business set) RIM is targeting with the Pearl.

But you’re right Laura, you can’t get a Blackberry without data. I know this is true at least for VZ and Sprint, not sure about AT&T but should be true of them as well. The design their phones for email, so they want everyone to use it.

Been using mine all week and I really like my pearl! Can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t want it without the $30 plan.considering how affordable the phone is I think the plan is priced right.

When purchasing the Verizon BB Pearl, we’re finding that it’s REQUIRED that you sign up for the $30 BB Data plan….even if you don’t want to use it. I’m wanting the BB Pearl for the size, the organzier (calendar), and the possibility of adding email if I want. Does this sound right?

Ok
, so I’m posting this from my pearl.

Hopefully this is a simple question. I have a bes acct and a pop3 acct, I would like to only see work email in the bes acct and keep pop3 separate. Pop3 seems to keep going in to the one mags

I just received mine today. I have been using the Treo 700, so I am especially pleased with the smaller size and weight. I find the full Qwery keyboard easier to use than the Suretype, but I imagine that I will get used to it in time. The browser speed was very fast, though my first impression of the blackberry browser was that it is harder to work with. Most of all I am very happy with the size and overall feel of the Pearl, which makes my old Treo feel like a brick.

got mine in hand - ordered from the web. still needed to contact vzw to get it fully activated - via web was not sufficient.

I tried to install mini opera browser and it said that it could not recognize the device type. hopefully vzw didn’t cripple some of the app install ability.

When I watched this video about BB Pearl I got crazy about this phone (http://www.weshow.com/us/p/21756/verizons_blackberry_pearl_8130)
I couldn’t wait ’till it’s available for pre-order. Now that it finally happened, I already ordered mine and when I get it I’ll let you know if all the great functions that we see in this video really work. And you guys who gave the phone? Anybody else has good impressions?
