That is the truth. Do not buy one unless you want an overly complicated piece of junk that you have to RMA like 3 times a week.

We are talking about the phone people, not the fruit.

More specifically we're talking about a Pearl.

I was just about to write you an angry message saying why Blackberries (the fruit) are uber cool. But since you're clearly bashing the phone.....carry on.

I like Blackberry pie. I hate the Pearl. I can't stand the keyboard or the boring user interface.

Wrong. I would even prefer the Pearl over the iPhone...

The phone I want it the Nokia N95... The iPhone is a childs toy in comparison.

I'm sorry that you don't like the easiest to use phone in the world.

You can go buy your digital camera that makes phone calls, too.

The N95 is the most advanced phone on the market. The iPhone is just a big gimmick. It's just a touch screen phone that has a ridiculously large screen. You can download a skin for the HTC Wing that makes it look and work just like an iPhone, except the Wing will picture message.

Listen. The most advanced phone on the market has nothing to do with whether it's easy to use or not. The current standard cell phone interface is quite possibly one of the worst interfaces anyone will ever use. Smartphones aren't much better (and really, a majority are worse).

I present to you a study: my mom.

She just got a KRZR about two weeks ago. Certainly not the most advanced unit out there, but it's supposed to be pretty easy to use from what I can tell. She had to use the manual (read: me) MANY times to figure out how to: change the ringtone and wallpaper, figure out how to add more than one number to a name, and how to send a call straight to voicemail (something the phone managed to stump me on.) I'll also add that neither of us are slouches when it comes to technology in any shape or form. Very few things stump either of us.

She's been afraid of trying the iPhone since the first day she saw a video of it. Said it looked way too confusing. So I told her one night "here, try my iPhone, see if you like it". It took her about 10 minutes to figure out pretty much every major function of the phone, with very minimal instruction from me (I explained the two finger zoom thingy, and that was it). She ran it almost entirely on instinct. Afterwards she said she thought it was really easy to use, and way easier to use then either of her other phones that's she's had previously and this new phone.

Why is it that the phone that should be easy to use, isn't? I have no idea, but all the phones that I've used (everything from ancient Nokia phones to the latest smartphones) prior to the iPhone fall victim to this category.

Yes, I realize this was an entirely pointless rant.

Neo1973 for me, plz.

I'll just a basic phone that makes calls and has internet capabilities. Thanks.

Seriously all I want is a phone that makes calls. Nothing more. I use about 60 minutes a month of call time on my cellphone, because I freaking HATE talking on the phone. So I have a basic prepaid boostmobile phone. It has internet capabilities, which I use to check sports scores and news. Other than that, I already have an mp3 player, I already have a digital camera that records video with sound. I have a laptop that I can watch movies on.

I don't need a $200-400 phone, plus a monthly charge for a device in one. It's a waste of money.

There are two main groups of phone users.. Those that try to keep up with with the "latest trends" just because everyone else has that certain phone that looks like it cost a million bucks (but are really nothin special)... And you have the ppl that use advanced phones that do everything but fix you breakfast... As for me i choose the latter.. In fact.. I'm writing this from my n-series smartphone right now... And yeah.. The n95 rules..
