IMHO the tactile feedback provided by Blackberry and Treo devices is critical for most medium-to-heavy email users.</p> wonder if blackberry pearl is stealing away potential iPhone (the Apple one) customers — similiar target market (consumer willing to spend a couple hundred bucks for high-end gadget)

Few of my friends who own an older blackberry refused to shift because of the same reason. They say that their older devices have fallen down so many times and survived to tell the tale but pearl will not endure a single fall. </p> <p>-Rajan</p> Hi,
