Today I brought home a 17″ iMac to try out. We have a few extra at work and I figured I would see what all the hype was about. Andrew is always saying how much he loves Mac OSX and all its bells and whistles. So far I have taken some funny pictures with the Photo Booth, checked out a few sites in Safari, installed FireFox and changed a few system preferences.

Blackberry Pearl MP3 Player Instructions »

So I’ve had the weekend to play around with the new Blackberry Pearl and I have to say it has been fun. There are some pretty cool features in there that I’ve never had a chance to play with before. First let me set the stage, I have only briefly used a Blackberry before (several different models though) so I don’t really know all the standard features. If I seem impressed about something that is not new to the Pearl that is why. I’ve only ever used business style cell phones before so MP3 playing and stuff seem incredibly novel to me. Ok, on to the review.

Along the lines of my friend Andrew’s post about his nice new laptop I thought I would simultaneously mock him and show off my new phone. It is pretty decent but is a huge improvement over the one I’ve been carrying for a couple years. Additionally I’ve been given a Blackberry Pearl to test (play with) for the weekend. First lets take a look at the two phones.
