Spoiled the excitement

I was SSSOOO excited to get my new blackberry pearl 4 months ago. At first, so far so good, but give it a while. As a school teacher, I am not able to always answer my phone. I rely on my missed call log, text, etc. in case I miss the phone. Even after purchasing a new media card (twice, 5GB ($60) and 1GB ($35), having my phone replaced after the speaker stopped working, while I was out of town, and a number of other "memory" problems, I am just NOT satisfied. I hear the same complaints from many other PEARL owners and they seem to not want to compensate for the problem. On the verizon network I spend and average of $190 a month on service that I just don't get with this phone. Now I am going to have to spend more money to purchase a full price phone outside of my upgrade period. Needless to say this phone spoiled the excitement of the blackberry world.

Got this phone about a month ago and i have had nothing but problems with it. The phone freezes constantly!!! I am on my 3rd replacement of the same phone and all of them have had the same problems over and over again. I do not recommend this phone to anyone one who is a business man because like me i am sure that they don't need a phone that freezes all the time and randomly deletes texts an emails.

Problema

I purchased the bb pearl from verizon 3 months ago and now i'm on my 6th phone. Every phone has had the same problem and it wasnt just a batch at store, I called verizon and they sent me one from the warehouse after the 4th replacement. The problem being, at least one a day, when I place a call my phone says connected but is totally mute the caller can hear me but I can't them the problem is easliy fixed by removing battery but when you recieve an important call reseting becomes a hassel because it takes so long to boot up. I am staying with pearl because I love its features and is the best phone i've owned. So this replacement i'll go with the pink one maybe i'll have better luck.
