Samsung BlackJack or Blackberry Pearl? (UPDATED)

Any recommendation on which of the above phone to get? Our current carrier has them pretty cheap as refubs (I could get one for free by moving carrier, but that itself is complicated) and they're both tempting. The requirements I have are:

  • camera higher than VGA, preferably 2mp or more
  • PDA functionality - calendar, tasks, etc,
  • MP3 playback
  • Video playback of some sort

Things I don't need are:

  • Exclusive music or video deals - I'll supply my own, thanks.
  • 3G service, again the fancy stuff will copied over via USB first, I can cope with that.
  • Email - see above.

They'll both be set up to sync with our Mac at home, and thankfully there's lots of great software to do that, all of which seems to be written by MarkSpace.

So has anyone tried these, and if so which did you prefer?

UPDATE: They've sold out of the Blackjack. :-(
