I am considering a Pearl Flip, and by reading this forum, I am seeing no problems arise with this phone.

Is it that good? Any suggestions?

If you are looking to experience a Blackberry, the Pearl flip offers a lot of features in a small phone.  It does all the basic features all Blackberry's provide such as email, messaging, internet, etc.  The editors over a Cnet.com gave the Verizon Wireless Pearl flip a good rating seen here http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/rim-blackberry-pearl-flip/4505-6452_7-33702570.html?tag=mncol;ls... .  I have a Pearl 8130 (non-flip) only because I am a former Alltel customer who is not part of the VZW family and the flip was not available when I bought my phone.  However, the two phones are the same except one is in a clamshell case.  I have a friend who loves his Pearl flip.  If this is your first Blackberry, you should love it.

I totally agree.  The Tour is the Blackberry to own.  I am planning to upgrade to the Tour very soon.

I've seen the flip, I personally don't like it asthetically and would say that it is for the BB minimalist.  If you have to have a flip phone and it has to be a BB then I guess this would be the way to go, but the small keyboard/screen does not seem optimized for the intended purpose of a BB but more for the purpose of portability and a smaller footprint in your pocket or on your side.  As far as performance I have not heard of any issues.

I purchased the Pearl Flip based on the fabulous reviews I read. I am sending it back & have purchased a Curve. The screen is too small to be of any use; the keys are challenging. I've not done a lot of texting but found it difficult to use because of the 2 letters & 1 number on most keys. Probably great for an experience texter, not for the occasional user.I also could not the the clocks on the outside & inside to work, despite many resets.
