Internet is mandatory for blackberry's on Verizon's network for $30/month. If you have internet, you will be able to use e-mail, bbm, IM, and obviously internet. If you're looking for a skinnier phone go for the pearl. But I have the curve and I love it and its so easy to type on! The pearl is too once you get used to it though. And if you think the curves keys are too small, trust me they're fine. I'd say the best way to decide which one you want is go to the Verizon store (with working models) and mess around with both the curve and the pearl for a while and then decide which one you like more. Hope this helped!

The Blackberry, like every cell type of device polls. But it does not mean what you describe. The polling that takes place is a "keep-alive" type of data packet. The purpose is to let the network know where the phone is located physically on the network at any given time. As a user moves from place to place the cell towers keep a record of those movements so that when you want to make a call or send data of any type you will already be connected and ready go. This is how you get an "always on" connection.

The polling intervals vary by providers but they are generally constant IE every so many seconds or nanoseconds.

If the network receives a piece of data destine for your device, the network sends the data immediately after it arrives. The network does not wait for any length of time beyond the time it takes to forward the message. There can be delays caused by no or poor signal in which case the information is stored until the connection is restored and is then downloaded.

If you're on a work BES system (work issued BlackBerry most likely with a BlackBerry server) then the BlackBerry follows the Exchange servers rules (aka if outlook redirects your email to a folder, then so does BlackBerry). However, there is an email option that you tell your BlackBerry not to show messages in other folders other than Inbox. If you are looking at your messages inbox, click the menu button, go to Options, one of them should say "hide filed messages", say yes. You can tell when something has been filed because it has multiple envelopes as an icon instead of one single envelope.

Now, if you bought your BlackBerry on your own and don't have a BES system, then a "BIS" email system (personal that comes with a BlackBerry if an individual purchases it from the carrier) it doesn't support folders or filing of any sort.

Hope that helps.

There are two ways you can put music on the pearl. Either way you choose you will need to get a micro SD card, up to 4 gig, to hold the music. First way is through Desktop Manager that came with the phone. You will be adding media, not applications, so be sure you have selected media. It is done with a program called Roxio. The second way is to use WMP (Windows Media Player) and just sync the music to your phone. Actually I guess there are THREE ways. When you connect you Pearl to he computer you should be able to see it listed under MY COMPUTER when you open that folder. From there you can open the blackberry drive, find the media card, open the music file (or create on if the isn't one there already), and just drag and drop the files in there from your music folder.

Make sure you have the latest O.S. for your phone and the latest version of Desktop Manager. The O.S. differs for each service provider, and the should be able to tell you if you have the correct one.

For all those who hate the lag, bugs with this phone, I am with you. The first 3 months was so frustrating. I thought it was the worst phone in the world!
I’ve been constantly updating it and the latest .148 version clears a lot of the bugs. It’s responsive to touch and scrolls very smoothly. Most of the bugs have been worked out. Plus my screen is still scratch free… i’ve had my phone for nearly a year and finally enjoying it now.
