Touch vs. Pearl

[intelbank]

Since Sprint has the $99 plan available and the price is also the same for the Blackberry Pearl! Yes, no more added fees just to use the proprietary Blackberry browser + push email, i'm wondering what the better phone would be.

I currently have the HTC Touch and i'm somewhat happy with it, but i'm missing the physical keyboard, GPS and WiFi.

The Pearl on the other hand has GPS enabled and a physical keyboard.
Wifi is disabled on all Sprint devices as far as i've been told.

Does anyone have a "side by side" comparison between the Touch and the Pearl and can give me some feedback as to which one is better in your opinion?

Thanks,

IB

The only sprint phone that has wifi as far as I know is the PPC6700. The Touch phone is great for internet after you speed it up by editing the cache. It is also the best I have seen for TV if you want that, which I do. A little flat panel TV set. it is also good for calls in general. The physical keyboard not being there is a problem. The Blackberry pearl has a keyboard but I am not crazy about the double letter buttons. That seems hard to do texting for me, but the main reason I got the pearl and got rid of my touch is because of the technical issues with the touch that HTC and Sprint tech support could not fix. I found resetting my phone back to the factory default several times a month.

the titan aka the mogul aka the 6800 has wifi and it sound like what you are lookin for. i have both the tian and the touch and i have alot of opprtunity to play with the blackberry. the blackberry is great for email that i have seen but i still like the pocket pc for email but that is just me.
