Ive just been given the blackberry pearl at work to replace my last handset - it ticks all those boxes.

Works better in an enterprise environment obviously. In fact, youd be mad to get one outside of an enterprise unless you have a private exchange server.

3 is the service provider (ie Orange, Vodaphone, o2, Virgin & 3 (three.co.uk))

X-Series is  a content package that they offer.. Unlimted access to Internet, Skype, Orb, etc. & theres a Gold package that lets you buy a slingbox for Ã,£99 & for Ã,£5 a month be able to sling media to your mobile... So you can basically watch your TV on your phone.. you can even change channels.

The advantage of my work plan is that it costs me Ã,£0 per month and Ã,£0 per minute.

The trade off is constant emails from the board members.

The x-series sounds good.
02 are trying to make me pay Ã,£129.99 for the handset! what idiots!

If they still say this when i upgrade I am out of there.
