Ok I've narrowed it down to these two now.

What I'm looking for in order of importance:

1) Reception and call quality
2) Phone reliabilty
2) Texting ease/capability
3) MP3
4) Camera
5) Email

Going with Cingular, most likely the Nation 450 plan and maybe the SmartPhone Connect Package ($9.99) and 200 Messages. I'm not going to add an additional package that costs over $10.

Just found the SmartPhone package I listed above probably doesn't apply to BB, which means I probably won't get a BB package unless there's one available for $10. Also, how easy is it to activate a K790 with Cingular?

Thanks
 
info for those debating the same thing:

i went with the pearl. after looking at the w810 and the pearl in person it was clear to me. though the k790 is bigger than the 810, the pearl seemed less congested for typing and offered much more functionality. Also or the price of the k790, getting the pearl and extra bb package for one year is pretty much a wash.

since i already had a nice camera and haven't had an occasion where i needed to take a pic and didn't have my digital camera, i didn't need the k790 for it's camera quality (which is awesome for a camera phone though). the pearl offered a better pc interface imo and easier texting, and was thinner, lighter, and cheaper than the k790. given my preference in a cell phone, the pearl was the 1. so thanks PhonePimpBill for the recommendation!

phones i also looked at in my search in order of preference for me:

RIM Pearl
LG enV
SE K790
RIM 8703e (still not ready for the PDA size for personal use)
SE W810
LG Chocolate
