Eligible for my Cingular upgrade and am looking for another smartphone. My current phone is a Nokia N73 which I bought unlocked from e-bay.

I have narrowed the choices down the the Pearl[$199] vs the E62[$99].

I really like the Nokia UI and software on the N73, and except for lack of a camera, I am expecting the same thing on the E62.

I will be using this phone to access spreadsheets at work and such.

Is the BB UI as good as the Nokia, or better?

Can you get a Pearl thru Cingular w/out a BB data plan?

TIA.
