I am getting a new phone soon and I want a blackberry however my contract is too low to get a blackberry curve, so is the blackberry pearl just as good or what are the differences?

Well other than the weight, battery type, and talk time.
They have differences in the messaging.
The Blackberry Curve has OP3 / IMAP4 / SMTP / Microsoft Exchange / Lotus Domino for email as well as AOL / Google / ICQ / Windows Live / Yahoo! for chatting.
The Pearl has Microsoft Exchange / Lotus Domino for email and AOL / ICQ / Windows Live / Yahoo! for chat. You can check out the link below for more in-depth features and user reviews for both phones.

make sure you can plug in your favorite ear phones in them cause it plays music very well
3.5 mm is best

the keyboard is the major difference,
if u dont wanna spend time learning new keys the pearl isnt a good choice.
blackberry’s are great phones i agree
if ur deciding on the pearl get the newest model possible…
good luck

It’s generally the same phone inside.
However, the main differing feature for me are the different keyboards.
The Curve has a full QWERTY keyboard, which is just like the keyboard you have on your computer. However the Pearl has a half-QWERTY keyboard, with two letters on each button. This can make typing really difficult until you get used to it.
Many people have to get new phones within their first week because they can’t stand the Pearl’s keyboard. I would wait until you can get the Curve, you will be more satisfied.
Thanks,
