The pearls lite build is one of the things that attracted me to it. Its not big and bulky and ugly like other smart phones

Had the pearl.. Trust me you will love the 8800.... So far no issues got 2 of them one for my husband and myself.. Will keep all updated.....

I had the Pearl for a few hours until I swapped it for the 8800 on Monday. I can say that my 8800 doesn't feel cheap at all, but I did feel that way about the pearl I had.

to all the ppl in this thread who got their hands on an 8800, keep us posted on your experiences plz!

"Looks cheap"? That's a dubious method of assessing a device... much like gauging durability by how a device "feels". I've heard the same thing said about the 8700c when it was new but mine has survived several drops on concrete. "Look" & "feel" don't really mean much.
