Back on the Pearl. Finally!
by Volker Weber
Two hours ago a friendly mailman knocked on the door and brought a new Pearl. I flashed the latest 4.2 build and synced all the data back. Now I have a working Pearl again, sitting in its protective rubber suit to the right. The naked Pearl next to it has the broken screen and goes back to RIM by the end of the week. On the left are the two devices which helped me while the Pearl was broken: a Blackberry 8800 - also in a rubber suit- which does not work with my proper USIM due to a bug in 4.2.1 and was therefore loaded with a test SIM. Last but not least the shiny Palm Treo 750 which I liked a lot more than I thought I would. Microsoft Direct Push does work, but it also sucks the battery dry in no time. While the Treo has excellent sound quality and the best build of the bunch, I am happy to have the Pearl back.

Wo bekommt man in Deutschland die Siliconhüllen für Blackberry-Geräte?
Vielleicht hier? Allerdings ist meine schwarze Hülle nicht dabei. Die ist allerdings auch sehr Geschmacksache, da man die Tasten bei hellem Sonnenlicht nicht ablesen kann. Da musst Du alles auswendig wissen. :-)
How about the 8300??? Any news about the release date in germany?
Da Du die PIMs ja schon eine zeitlang testest würde mich mal Dein derzeitiger Favorit interressieren (und warum) ?!
Henrik, Pearl, Treo, 8800, in dieser Reihenfolge. Würde der 8800 mit meiner USIM funktionieren, dann wäre die Reihenfolge 8800, Pearl, Treo. Warum? Volle Tastatur ist besser als SureType, lange Batterielebensdauer ist besser als kurze.
Joerg, ist schon auf der Preisliste für T-Mobile Geschäftskunden.
What do you use to sync the Pearl? Assuming you're using your Mac of course. My wife has a Pearl and we'd like to sync/backup with the Mac on occasion just incase the little fella dies and looses all her contacts etc.
I am using PocketMac 4.
