Pearl of all phones
2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Very stylish phone will all the essential features. Trackball makes scrolling very easy.
Cons: Can't record video, but that's a minor drawback.
I have had my BlackBerry Pearl for about 3 days and absolutely love it. By far the best cell phone I have ever owned. At first the trackball is tricky to use, but after a few minutes using it I cant imagine not having it there. The Motorola headset that I bought was very easy to pair with this phone. The battery life seems to be pretty good. The camera is decent being that it is only a 1.3 Mega Pixel. The Qwerty keyboard is a bit touchy, but like the trackball it gets easier to use the more you use it. The only drawback I can think of is not having a video recorder, but I can understand that it is hard to fit all these features on such a small phone. I am using the Cingular Network and reception on the Pearl is great. Overall it is a very solid phone that is feature packed. I would definately recommend it over the Blackjack and the Q. I plan to keep this till the next version to the Pearl is released. ...

Life is Good
16 of 16 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Sleek design, and a great value.
Cons: Not the blackest blacks but pretty darn close.
I bought the LG 42LB5D from my local Circuit City and absolutely love it. For the price you get exactly what you need. 1080p, 3 HDMI inputs, and a polished black frame. I compared the picture of the LG versus the Sony and the Toshiba on either side of it and the Samsung. The LG had a deeper black than the Toshiba but not as deep as the Sony, and it was pretty comparable to the Samsung. What kept me from getting the others was the price diffrence. The LG was the same as the Toshiba and 200 less than the Sony and Samsung in the comparable size. It had the same or more HDMI inputs as the others and a 5 ms refresh rate. Next up was the overall appearance of the design. It looks really good with its shiny black frame and a single strip of metal across the speaker. Compared to the LG the Sony and the Toshiba looked pretty plain. The Samsung on the other hand was a bit more shiner, but that not what to look for in a TV. The speakers that come attached are average (to enjoy the full HD experience you really should get a surround sound system). I didnt have any problems setting up the TV so I didnt have to call LG. The only real complaint I have is the packaging. Pretty basic protection for the TV. A styrofoam block at each corner and that it. So be very carefull when handling the box. Overall a great purchase and looking forward to enjoing it long time. No regrets and whould buy again. ...
