I'm also using the Blackberry 8100 (Pearl). The battery life is excellent. The signal pickup is a vast improvement over any Moto or Sony/Ericsson phone I've had. It works nicely with the Mac. It'll sync with iCal/AddressBook/Mail. Blackberry bundles PocketMac for sync, but I prefer to use Missing Sync. The ONLY thing I miss from my Razr is Bluetooth syncing. You have to hook-up via USB with the Pearl. If you dislike tiny keys, the Pearl might not be for you. I like the SureType tech. It trains well and gets smarter the more you use it. I paid more for the phone so I would only have a 1 year contract. that's worked best for me, as I'm tough on phones and like flashy new toys too.
