When I was in school, a 66% was a "D"

As I start to see what folks are saying about the RIM "Pearl", I'm tending to think that it may not be a Pearl at all but rather just a piece of sand that was never cultured.  Infosync has their thoughts up and it is not good.  They had the following to say about four features of the phone:

Calling - Very good
Messaging - Very good
Scheduling - Good
Multimedia - Mediocre

They did like the design and the push e-mail but they thought the SureType keypad was tough to to master.  They liked the battery life but didn't care for the trackball and they felt folks will be confused as they drill down through the menus.  A 66% would have been an unacceptable grade for me in school...I don't think this device will top the list of "must have" devices.
