Blackberry Pearl

Well after debating on a smart phone for quite some time, I finally made the decision.

My old Samsung phone broke in half over the weekend – although it still works, it’s quite hard to hold up to my ear – and since I was no longer in contract with Telus I thought it was time to get a new phone. I qualified for the free BB Pearl promotion and the great Student Fav 10 + data plan was only an extra $5 over what I was already paying for my last plan, so the transition was a no brainer.

This is day two with the phone and I haven’t really had a lot of time to play around with it, but I must say so far I’m definitely enjoying it. I commented on a previous post about the iPhone, how I would not like to be able to check email on the fly, thinking I would be too tied up. Well, I was so wrong. Being able to check my email on the fly is so convenient and I don’t feel out of touch when I’m on campus, needing to get home to make sure I didn’t miss any important emails.

Hopefully it will last as long as the Samsung did, that thing treated me very well.
