A few questions.

Firstly, I'm wondering if anyone knows where in the U.K I might find a Blackberry Pearl 8220? Recently, well a few Months ago, I bought one of those iPhones, but often I'll leave it on charge for most of a day or a full day before using it again. I have had some improvements in battery life since then, but nothing incredible. So I thought I might grab something else, also for when I travel so I don't have to worry as much.

I haven't had any luck finding one, though. The Carphone Warehouse website doesn't really give me many results and 02 aren't selling it anymore. I did find it online for over £200, but I wanted to check other options first. Amazon had the option to buy, but it's from someone on their marketplace I think, so I don't feel comfortable buying from there.

Am I going to have a hard time finding one? Or is there a good chance they might have one instore at my local Carphone Warehouse, even though their website has very little?

Secondly, if I can't get one is the Pearl 8120 any good? I was thinking of going for one of these with the full keyboard, but I thought for now maybe something else and possibly upgrade in the future.

The other thing I wanted to ask is - I'm on contract with the iPhone. I don't really know how it works. Lets say I did get one of these. Could I switch my SIM over, and it work right away? If not then I guess it would be pointless. I had heard of problems with internet connections, and having to have add-ons, which is why I wondered. I'd hate to switch certain things around and find I can't use the iPhone anymore, and end up finding I have to switch back.

Oh, and one last thing. Are these two other phones any good? Some people like them, others don't seem to as much.
