I dropped my Sony Ericson phone today for a new Blackberry Pearl 8100.  What a hot piece of hardware.  While some reviews describe it as a phone for the girls, I think any geek would be stupid not to snatch one of these up.  I’m not willing to carry around with me a giant blackberry or treo phone, it’s just too inconvenient.  But the pearl is the best of both worlds.  I’m able to dial-up on Caltrain with my MacBook and I can get email/IM/Text/web while I’m out and about away from my laptop.  Everyone I’ve shown it to so far has gone goo goo over it once it’s in their hand.  Hot Hot Hot…. now if I could only get it to work with iSync.
