BlackBerry Pearl 8130
8130 Vs Moto q9m
I am having a hard time choosing whether I want the peal or the new Q. Everything I have heard about blackberry tells me to choose that. I have the xv6700 and love the keyboard but the OS always needs a soft reset. I think my only dilemma is getting used to the keyboard. Any suggestions??
...
q9 is for JERK OFFFFFFS!!!!!!1.......BLACKBERRY IS MANS PHONE. IF U THINK U HAD PROBLEMS WITH UR XV6700 WAIT TIL U GET A Q9...DONT GET ME WRONG, ITS BETTER THEN THE Q, BUT STILL A ****T MOTOROLA PHONE. MOTOROLA NEEDS TO STICK TO PHONES, NOT PDAs. if u have xv i would wait to see the xv6800.also pearl keyboard is wonders to use. works flawlessly, stores all new vocabulary in its dictionary so when u type someones last name that was aready in a previous email it knows how to spell it...phone is sick!!!

wow - when you put it in sexy, almost poetic English like that mike - it really makes me want to take your advice.
For me, it's Q all the way. I haven't seen an app that can get me XM Radio or an NES emulator onto a blackberry.
Of course, I haven't really looked because my Q9m is SWEET!
I'm running Exchange '07 on mine for OTA syncing. I really don't think I could be happier with the device. MS has made a ton of improvements with WM6 and MOTO came to the table as well. Better Battery, faster response, more functionality (SDIO slot), etc. MOTO FTW.

we are going to end this thread since u cant get NES emulator. maybe u should contact NES and see if they are coming out with something special for PDA users

I dont know how to top the previous input from mike, i will say that i work for verizon and have used both, the q was a decent phone i will say the battery life sucks and since i did not have a server i had to sync using wirelesssync and it worked decently, i do have to say that once i used the blackberry 8830 i was sold on blackberry os and email over any windows smartphone i had used before, email is realtime where as if you don't have a server you have to wait about 15=20 min per sync, when the pearl came out i worried about the suretype but one day later i was hooked on the small size and camera, in the 4 days since i have had 5 of 10 members of my team swap to the pearl i would recommend the pearl over the q or the q9m
...
i will say i do also work with verizon and use a BB server...and my email is instant. i actually get it first on my pearl, then my desktop...
...
Thanks for the input- I think its gonna have to be the blackberry- I really haven't heard one bad thing about it

I wish you knew how to spell........

What are you talking about? I see way more women with Pearls and Curves than men!!
...
I have the Pearl and it took me only a couple of hours to get used to the suretype.
...
thats because our phone is for men and the q9m is for little boys who want to have NES emulator.

I believe you have this same thread in the main VZW forum, right?
If not what I answered there was I owned the original Q and did not like it much. I actually went from the Q to a Treo 700wx ... the Pearl is by far the more solid device.
The email on the Pearl is near flawless, suretype will take maybe a day or two to adjust to. The Pearl is lightweight, comfortable form factor and has really good reception.
The only real negative about the Pearl is battery life, however, the Q battery life was even worse. The battery on my Treo was the tops.
Anyway, I hope this helps with your decision.
