Unspiritual Material List – The Pearl
You rarely, if ever, remember what you got for Christmas the year before. I know people who have realized this and decided to stop spending hard earned money on frivolous material objects. They have decided to put the money into something that will last longer. Like ministries/savings/college funds/ ect. The things we get often get forgotten anyways.
I started thinking about this. I can’t remember one thing I got last year. Sorry H. I really can’t. So. I am going to follow suit.
Kinda.
I am going to blog about my presents. This way, next year, I will remember and I don’t have to make rational, mature decisions like some of my friends. 
The first gift I got was the new Blackberry Pearl.
I LOVE THIS PHONE. It still provides me with all the Crack that my Crackberry junkie self needs and throws a few extras in as well.
This is why I need a phone. In order of need.
1. Email.
2. Internet.
3. Voice Calls.
That is why I love the Crackberries. They do email like it should be done on a mobile device. It just works.
I have had a few. The last was my Crackberry 8700c. I loved the full Qwerty keyboard. I loved the big screen. But It was BIG.
Blackberry has outdone themselves with this SEXY Slim phone. They have done away with the scroll wheel and added a glowing little “pearl” in the middle of the phone that scrolls around like a Mighty Mouse. You still get a QWERTY keyboard but your letters have to share keys. The SureType software has made this possible and it works 99% of the time. But I’m not writing essays on this thing.
This phone is the closest thing to a Mac on a phone I can find. It also does great pics.
Here is a pic of Daley’s boot I took on Sunday.
So if your in the market for a phone and you rely on email as a primary source of communication, there is no other.
How many of you are Crackberry addicts?

I have a Blackberry Pearl also. I love it.
haha i dont have enough of a life to have Blackberry. Maybe one day when i a hardworking person who needs to check my e-mails at all times. For now, my razr will do.
Treo 700p for me….
NO crackberry, unfortunately, my cell is provided by the newspaper I work for and they choose to spend tech $ elsewhere.
you may have just sold me.
I covet thee oh crackberry. I so want brutha… how the heck do you end up with all the cool toys?
You should see what I drive. This will solve your inquiry.
Taking the bus has its perks.
So that was the 1st gift. what were the rest?
Treo 650…it’s too big. That’s my only complaint
Umm, that was not a present. Unless you count going out and buying your wife a phone because hers is broken and then coming home with the pearl. However if you do count that as a present I am off the hook for next year. H
…los got busted…
and i apparently am still living in the stone age with my phone that only uses that thing called a voice…i need to update my communication technique…
Who said Christmas presents had to come from someone else?
Os
hey os, you are completely okay in buying yourself a present. I do all the time. Who knows better what to get you except yourself, right. I’m now addicted to my Blackberry 8700c. I can’t have it on me and not check it every 20 minutes to see if I got an email.
i am a crackberry addict to my husband’s as i do not have my own…but in feb 07 is phone upgrading time and i plan on getting the blackjack.
good one heather…hey, do you want to go to the mall with me later? we’ll start early buying “Christmas gifts” for ourselves for next year?:) (j/k)
I use an LG with a cracked screen so I have to actually remember all my numbers. My wife always says, “just set it on…oh yeah….hee hee.” Nice….I would probably do the same to her. By the way, I also do not have that sort of life where I feel the need to be surgicly attached to my phone/PDA/thingy (that’s a technical term)
I just want a Roland HPD-15, but ya’ll wouldn’t know about that.
forget the blackberry! how does i gets me some a dem boots?
I was so close to getting the Pearl a couple weeks ago when I went in shopping for a new phone. Instead I ended up with the Cingular 8525…but think I’m about to return it and wait for the new Treo 750 that should be out any time now.
Come on Os, talk me into the Pearl a little more…
Nice phone Los – just got my Samsung Blackjack yesterday (Windows Mobile mandated) and loving it. Battery sucks is my only take – the rest is the bomb. Next up…Treo 750. It’s nice being the tech guy who ‘has’ to try out new phones for our users here ;^).
