which phone is better for verizon?

I want to purchase a new phone with verizon but which phone is better the blackjack or the blackberry pearl? how good are they and which one is more expensive because I only want to purchase the phone and they're expensive when bought alone.

in my opinion the blackjack for two reasons.
a. the blackjack has a full keyboard, where as the blackberry pearl is hard to text on.
b. the blackjack is made to hold music, and the pearl is not.
another thing, the blackjack may be larger in size, but it's not as chunky and it will fit in your pocket better. hope this helps.
