Misconceptions about LA. Interesting read, but kinda whiney. http://t.co/jEqHw3ts

I've just been informed by an offended commenter that, in some parts of the world, it isn't actually summer right now, but rather winter.

I got one of these for Christmas for someone.
The web browser is slow, but we found a faster third-party web browser for BlackBerry called "Opera Mini" and installed it on the Pearl Flip. It works much better and faster, and actually renders some sites more faithfully.
We also upgraded the OS (firmware) on the Pearl Flip with the latest version found online, and Facebook appears to work perfectly on it. The phone also appears to activate and dial faster too -- one of the other complaints we had. The spell checker and automatic suggester for SureType in the Pearl Flip is much better than on the old 7100 series phones, the first SureType phones. I have observed that even, myself, I type much more accurately on the Pearl Flip than the 7100 series, and the Pearl Flip has a much bigger keyboard than a regular Pearl.
All in all, a much better performing BlackBerry than the average "new-release" BlackBerry -- the Storm leaves a lot to be desired (Although it click keyboard is excellent for me)
I personally prefer my BlackBerry Bold -- but the Pearl Flip appears to be a very good software quality, except for browser performance (solvable by installing a third party mobile browser).
