newhemidude Member Since: Nov 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 4 Months	the pearl is nearly perfect! Strengths: great call reception, great applications, email on the go, good looks, micro SD slot, play movies, games, music all on the go! Weaknesses: battery life could be better Summary: I've had this phone for 4 months and I'm addicted to it at this point. I have a bunch of movies on it so I'm ready for any plane ride! It has great reception, works great with the bluetooth (Samsung WEP200) I have for it and I can download tons of applications for it. I also have email on the go and the voice dialing works decently. This phone has everything I need and some things I didn't know I needed. I also love the size of the phone. Perfect for your pocket. The only thing that could be better is the battery life. Depending on usage it can last 1 day to 3 days. Not horrible but also not great. I would definitely recommend this phone to anyone! 100% of People (2/2) found this review helpful.

phungy Member Since: Jan 2007 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 65 Days	BlackBerry Pearl 8100 Strengths: Many features Weaknesses: Hourglass, a bit slow sometimes..prone to scratches. Summary: If you're looking for a smartphone that isnt bulky like the 8700, I would get the Pearl. DO NOT get the Cingular Pearl. It is disgusting though it does have the PushToTalk feature. The 1.3 MP camera isn't so bad. I like how you can put in a 2GB microSD card. I just place 1GB of MP3s, 0.5GB of pictures and 0.5GB of apps/games. Now I don't need to carry my iPod Nano around with me. Many upgradable "free" apps. Many accessories for it. All the accessories I have for my Pearl are free because I am a reviewer :) I still get free updated products. I also sell the Pearl battery doors because it seems like many are easily scratched or breaks. I would recommend the BestSkinsEver invisible skin. Same product as ShieldZone but 50% cheaper. As far as case, go with Seidio Rubberized Case (black) and does not attract lint. I am waiting for the BlackBerry Crimson that comes out late Spring. It will have Wi-Fi. -drools- The Pearl does have a downside and that is sometimes it lags and takes a while to load things which accounts for the hourglass...oh well. Not everything is perfect. 74% of People (55/74) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are 4 comments for this review.

rajesh_cheruku Member Since: May 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 10 Days	Awesome phone Strengths: Camera,Integrated MP3 player,slick and track ball Weaknesses: qwerty keyboard Summary: It is very good phone and easy to use. The most and advantageous feature of this phone is trackball with which we can operate it easily.Camera with 1.3mp which is good.For loading and playing music it is better to add a 1 gb micro sd card as cingular does not give with the phone. The map feature which is really good and can be operated like maps.google.com. Voice dialing also very good in this phone. 72% of People (13/18) found this review helpful.

roberto1 from CA Member Since: Jan 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Week	Blackberry Phone Strengths: Stylish, small size Weaknesses: Takes a while to get used to. Summary: I like how this phone looks like but it is quite difficult to use. It is stylish and thin compared to the older Blackberry models. The qwerty phone keys are hard to use. 0% of People (0/1) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review.
