I am trying to decide between these two phones... Any thoughts about the 2 would be great... I will be a first time smartphone user and I am currently pursuing my M.Ed degree so I need a really good calendar and organizer... Thanks Guys

PS- Great Battery Life Is a MUST 🙂 I always charge my phone everyday but I dont want to be charging it more than once a day!!! 🙂

I would choose between the Curve and Centro, more evenly matched. Also considering the 8120 is not even due out for a couple months it would be hard to purchase it now.

Centro has touch screen, other than that Curve seems to be a better choice for most of my customers.

Phonescoop has a good comparison tool so you can look at what is important to you.

The Pearl is already available, at least on the website it is and the Curve is not insurable that is why I chose the new Pearl since it is now insurable 🙂

The new Pearl has not been released. I spoke with Blackberry at CTIA and they said it is not due out until late May. The OLD Pearl that was recently discontinued may still be available. The new Pearl will have WiFi.

Good to know the BB people at the convention were possibly idiots. Curious to know when it will ship considering BB says the reason the Pearl was discontinued and the 8120 Pearl has yet to release was a lack of components.

Has anyone actually ordered and received the unit?
