Blackberry Pearl 3G - A Cool Set To Hang Out With

The other day i went to check out some range of new handsets and as a craze, i prompted " Blackberry Please" and he said "hmmm" and got me Blackberry Pearl 3G. I was very sure that i had to read through the catalog as most of the sales people know two things when they sell <1> "Oh yeah...its good, and we have cheaper ones also. <2> " dont worry sir, this cell wont trouble you a lot. It has all the features you want".The second statement always gets me into state of confusion that how they really know what we expect from Mobile Phone. In my life, i have found many good sales vendors who really has answers to stock they have. And the thing that is appreciated is the Knowledge they excel into.Now heading to Tech specs of this mobile.
