No wifi on the Pearl. You can get an blackberry add on for Ł10 per month (depending on contract I s'pose) Which gives you internet access (as well as all your emails ) Cant say I'm that overly impressed with in myself. I have had one for a few months now and miss the fact that there's no wifi, also that I cant link it to my laptop and use it as a modem, which I thought would have been 2 of the standard options. Oh well only another 15 months left on the contract !

Have you noticed the paint is coming off ? Mine has all started wearing away on the top of my Pearl, and the volume buttons have worn through to the plastic (whereas they should by a silvery colour !) not impressed with that either

Mine still has the plastic protective cover on. Only had it a few days. I do like the look and the lay out of the phone. Not sure i like it as much as the iphone i sold to get the pearl.
