Blackberry Pearl Keyboard

[VZW-LOVER]

I went to the Verizon store today at 11:00 to pickup a Pearl. So much for the exciting launch they didn't even have a working demo out. After waiting for the manager to bring me a charged unit (Not even activated)I was off and running.

I loved everything about the phone except the keyboard. Dang! the keys were small and it was hard to read the numbers on the keys. and with big hands it wasn't easy. I would go with another BB model but I need the camera.

When I asked the manager about the curve she turned into the wicked witch of the north and was rude. So much for walking out with a phone today.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Maybe tonight or tomorrow I'll try a non mall store where it's slower and I'll get better service.

So suggestions?

Please don't say leave Verizon. I been with them for 10 years and I have !$ months left because of the PC Card.
