I've had my BB Perl now for around 2 weeks and it's a fantastic piece of kit, highly recommended.

I also looked at the N61 but I couldn't really see myself using Wifi that much (apart from some geekie playing around). The browser on the E61 is supposed to be pretty decent (and I think Opera is available as well on that platform).

End of the day though I wanted something I could read emails on but still looked like a normal phone. The Pearl has a great screen and the keyboard (with the suretype text entry) works well - much easier and faster than I was expecting. Battery life is good as well.

I'm heading towards the E65 as a replacement for my N70. Seems to tick all your boxes...

I like my Pearl

One bad point so far, is the silver plastic part on the top of the phone, it has scratched off now
