Hope I never drop it! the 7290 you could throw it from a speeding car and still work! LOL

Am a bit ignorant here, but, can someone explain the benefit of having Wi-Fi on the device? I thought that the BlackBerry can pretty much connect to the internet etc, no matter where you are, so, where does the Wi-Fi come in?

Sweet! I love my pearl, it's great. But the 8800 looks awesome. I can't wait.

this thing looks like it would take my pearls lunch money in a dark alley. im gonna hafta teach my pearl kung fu. although the streaming video seems pretty sweet. i wonder if you can adjust the screen setting manually ( i have refused to download tmo update for my 8100, just the another instance of someone trying to take away my rights (to adjust backlighting))
