Tuesday, October 21, 2008I cant speak for this model as I haven't played with it yet, but all the other blackberry's I have used up to my current curve - to insert a "period" at the end of a sentence, simply hit the spacebar twice.

12/29/2008 11:29:38 PMYes! I gotta this Pearl flip & its nice! One thing that bothers me is you have to pay extra for msn. I love the messaging system too. one more thing: The browser isn't good enough for Youtube (trying to troubleshoot that)

12/27/2008 4:33:02 AMReal time internet and yes, you can get on wifi and hotspot with it...it's a bit extra a month depending on your carrier...I'm with Tmo and it's worth the extra. I like being able to respond to my MySpace email straight from my phone! Even replying to this via internet from my phone. I love that it has EDGE too!

12/27/2008 12:16:43 AMcan u get on the net on yours with wifi???

12/24/2008 2:00:42 AMAt first, it was intimidating to me because I've never had anything more advanced than just a "regular" texting/camera phone...but I got a really sweet deal on this BlackBerry Pearl fip phone, and I couldn't pass it up! My brothers both had the Curve and they love/hate them...I LOVE my phone! It's really great for someone who loves taking pictures, listening to music, texting (and i text ALOT), picture messaging and surfing on the net! Lots of MEMORY! GET it! You won't regret it!

12/22/2008 8:41:50 PMYou dont have to hit "alt period" for a period. If you double tap the space button it places a period automatically. this is my second one in 3 weeks. for some reason my new sim card wont activate does any one know how to fix that?
