If you could add only one technologically available feature to your Pearl, what would it be?

I don't have a Pearl but I'd say wifi would be a good feature to add.

I would say that if 3G or WiFi were added, streaming media would go hand in hand.

You can store them on your card and attach them to outgoing emails. This is a huge, huge feature for me. I just havent gotten around to viewing them on the device, but I dont need to.

Streaming media, since it's available on "lesser" phones should be an upgrade.

Better desktop software/OS. More like Palm devices, where you can have tabbed pages and selected app icons on each page. This 5-icons-on-the-homepage-and-everything-else-in-a-huge-menu-to-be-scrolled sucks.

I'm relatively new to the Pearl/BB, and may have missed an alternative to this set-up. But I've read and searched arond the forums a fair bit and haven't come across any more customizable/flexible/useful options for the Pearl desktop.

Feel free to correct me here; I'd be happy to be wrong!!!

You need to try another "theme". Some only have 5 icons, some 12 (I like this one) and others all.

You can also hide the icons you dont use often to help with the clutter.

Wi-Fi would be nice. Also, a better internet browser would be nice. Some pages, even though using something like Opera or BBbrowser doesnt pull up right

Id like: 1) WI-FI
2) Better camera at least 2.0MP w/ Video capturing
3) Better internet browser
4) Built-in GPS RCVR to make BB Maps work from the start
5) More memory and built in apps comparable to berry411

I like the way it is now. If they added more stuff to it, I will be happy with it.

I found out the 8800 is going to have video recording which is cool.

The only thing I will request is faster Internet speed.
