I had them test it with the vCenter Mobile (VMWare management for mobile devices) and it worked perfectly. Some other guys use an ssh client on their iPhones and are happy with it. I have a Bold myself, and while it is nice, I can't get the bloody VPN to work. On top of that, the VPN profile is tied to a wifi profile, where the iPhone can do VPN over the 3G network. So even if it did work, 90% of the time that I'm away from computer access I wouldn't be able to use it. A bit pointless. I'd worry that the Pearl would be in the same boat with the Bold on VPN access.
