BlackBerry Pearl 8130
Blackberry Pearl 8130 vs. LG Voyager
I currently own the Pearl and love it to death! But I feel like I am somehow missing out on the hoopla of the Voyager. Anyone on here owned both, have any input? Im still within my 30 day return period. . .anyone?

If you are a Star Trek fan go with the Voyager there is a new movie coming out and you will be ocnsidered cool having a phone named after one of the most reconized ships in the fleet.

I had the Pearl first and loved it. But like you, also couldn't resist the hype so I exchanged the Pearl for the Voyager when it came out.
I loved the screens on the Voyager and the TV service was nice. But maybe it's because I used the Pearl first, I felt like the keyboard on the Voyager was so wide that I actually typed slower on it because my fingers had to move all over the place. I like how the keys are so close together on the Pearl. But I really missed the push email on the Pearl and I thought the browser on the Voyager was hard to navigate and kind of slow. I also thought the Voyager was a bit bulky compared to the sleek Pearl. And the touchscreen was something cool and new in the beginning, but it didn't seem practical fo...

If you want a toy get the voyager. If you want a real awesome phone get the Pearl. I own it and have tried several phones before and came back to the pearl. Push email is hard to give up. Internet is awesome for the most part, News weather and sports, directions etc. No GPS just the stupid pay service from VZW is allowed.
I have heard rumor of the curve coming in april and may but no hard facts. I would love to get that phone over the pearl since it has a full keyboard.

I find that the sure type is just as quick as the full qwerty....There's also rumors of a touchscreen, slider/tilt version of the pearl......shhhhh don't tell.....that's how rumors get started.....

I work for VZW and have the Pearl as my personal phone and the Voyager as my demo. I've noticed that while I absolutely love the Pearl, my friends usually prefer the Voyager.
The Voyager is great for a media experience - the mobile TV is awesome and all of the VCast features work extremely well for this phone, as well as things like VZ Nav.
When it comes to web browsing and email though, the Pearl is a million times better. I also like a device that I can get "hands-on" with and love that I can customize the Pearl with 3rd party apps and such. I also love the flexibility of the 3.5mm headphone jack and USB mini port on the Pearl, along with the smaller size as I have the phone in my pocket all day.
Basically if you're looking for an...
