Pearl Problems...

Here's some nigglings I've had with the Pearl:

* GTalk crashes occasionally and some null exception error and logs out.
* GTalk has hung on trying to load on several occasions after crashing (requiring battery out reboot)
* Voice Command / Voice Dial will have error "cannot allocate audio resource" and not function.
* Voice Command / Voice Dial launch button and icon will not launch application with no errors or other clue as to what is not working
* IM application wil get stuck and not show 'not able to connect to server' after it looses a connection, even when you sign off and try to sign back on (I believe it uses SMS messaging for that IM application to work).
* Some themes/skins show the date in the 'euro' or 'international' format showing day/month instead of month/day or month/day/year.
* Minor annoyance : LED indicator flashes green when you are in coverage (and set on or off), but you flashes red during many other things (if selected such as SMS or email). On past phones, it would flash green when in service and flash red when out of service coverage area.

On the flip side, BlackBerry has an excellent alert system compared to almsot any other phone or messaging device I have ever used. It lets you set alerts, tones, vibe, silence for virtually each alert within each application. Now if only they could allow you to set what color the LED blinks during each as well!
