I like the stereo headphones included, considering my original black one came with a signle bud, as for color it has to be better then black which shows smudges and smears way to easy.

@ SVergara:

That is half the reason I quit posting on BlackBerryForums. I got sooooo tired of seeing threads from n00bs buying BB’s (mostly 8100’s) without the BB plan.

With so many people already buying the Pearl without needing/using half of the features, I’m sure this one will be a hit – especially with that pearly white paint job.

I can see it now: “OMG, what?! I have to get the $20/month BB plan?! But it’s so pretty!”

This will make my job miserable.

So this is the new great white hype, eh? Personally I think that it is more attractive in darker colors. I can’t see myself carrying a light colored device. It’d look like crap in about 10 mins.

Enough of the Pearl worship. Let’s move on to the real BB. Since I bought my 8700c and fell in love with it I’ve been waiting for it’s bigger badder successor. Enough with the soccer mom models.

sigh.. I wish they could announce the 8800 already.. so i can plan my upgrade … Some sort of launch window would be nice

ps – i heard the 8800 will have wifi.. will this most likely be dumped in the US cingular version?..

I like it, but it should come in green, magenta, black, blue, (RED), and any other color to get everyone want one like a RAZR. But I actually want a green one

That is the ugliest phone I have ever seen.

Time to ditch RIM stock until they “officially” announce the 8800.
