google and my new phone

I did it. I broke down and got a Smart Phone. A BlackBerry Pearl, no less. I’ve slowly been picking up on various features and options, and I’ve come to learn that HOLYSHITE there are a lot of very devoted Berry users out there. Good thing, since now I already know how to take care [...]
