Are there any heavy email users out there that have gone from the Blackberry 8700 to the Blackberry Pearl with no regrets?

The Pearl seems like a fashion phone more suited for a woman's purse as opposed to a heavy duty business tool. The Pearl seems more suited for 1 handed use with those tiny keys. A businessman with "hot dog" fingers is going to have troubles. His secretary with nice pointy fingernails, might not.
