[QUOTE="shaggymatt, post: 613296, member: 50115"] I have a BB Pearl with a 2gb card in it, which can take up to 8gb. I have the data plan of course through Verizon. After some terrible experiences with Cingular in the past and not that great of coverage in some of the areas I travel to, I can't bring myself to go back to AT&T/Cingular/AT&T (again). I love the size of my Pearl. The Touch is SO appealing as well, or is it a novelty?? From reading everything, I don't think that it has much more to offer me than what I get from my Pearl. Yes, it has the cool screen, and it would be bigger, but I don't really watch videos on my "small" devices. I have Bluetooth stereo headphones for my Pearl, I'd have to get an aftermarket adapter for the Touch. This is a severe shortcoming of most all MP3 players on the market today. BT stereo headphones make a world of difference. I leave my Pearl on my desk and can walk around the office still listening to music. Okay so the touch has WiFi. My Pearl has the data plan. If I don't have broadband speeds (in the boonies then) I have the 1x data speed, still respectable. Of course the BB does all my mail as well. The only place that I see myself perhaps getting some use out of it, is if I got rid of Sirius in my car. I'd probably listen to the Touch in place of Sirius. Our local stations are beyond terrible around here. I find myself mainly listening to my music I grew up with, and not liking too many new bands. Am I missing something with the Touch? I'd love to get one, but I just think that I already have ONE device already that does it all. If I got a Touch, I'd have that to carry in addition to my BB. Talk me out of it! [/QUOTE]
