I'm looking for a good media phone - one that can play music and video with headphones. I need a phone that can either work with Linux on my home computer or have an easy-to-get-to MicroSD card, meaning NOT behind the battery cover. What are the pros and cons of the Pearl or the Rumor? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. 
Also, if you have any other recommendations, I'd love some. Thanks!
