I just got the blackberry pearl, and hoping for some feedback to this
post.

What makes most internet sites useful for media is 1) Windows Media
Player Streams
2) Realplayer 3) Flash Video (e.g. YouTube).

Guess what? Is it true this blackberry pearl can't do anything
above? Looks like I need
to take this back and get a phone with the Mobile Windows.

Why? If you pay 35/month for unlimited internet data package, and
your phone can
stream at least windows media, you just now have thousands of online
radio stations
to choose from. Looks like this blackberry is only good for sending
messages, and
web browsing.

Am I wrong about blackberry pearl? Do I have any options to make this
useful for
web media? And yes I have opera mini installed. Still doesnt play
any useful streaming anything.
Thanks,
