smith67, I agree with everything you say, but a larger screen would require a larger phone. Perhaps you want an 8900.
All I want is a Pearl with more RAM and better processor just like they did by adding the 8900 to the Curve line, but this time with a really decent camera, with a decent lens and CMOS. No amount of megapixels or auto focus is going to make up for these mickey mouse lenses and sensors that RIM has been fitting into our berries. I have an old and crappy LG with a 1.2 MP camera that takes pictures as good as, I mean, as bad as the ones I take with my much pricier 2.0 MP Pearl. That's just unacceptable.
