 Love This Phone May 30, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have had the pearl for a week now and I love it. I got it through amazon for free. The white pearl is so cute and it def has people asking about the phone when u whip it out. Comparing it to the t-mobile sidekick there are a few setbacks. You cannot be logged in to more then one IM service and if you register for all of your e-mails to be sent to the pearl there is a delay.Other then that the phone is cool. I just found out that by hooking up the pearl to my lap top i can get internet service using that as my router.There is still a lot for me to learn with this phone but its great.
What a GADGET! May 14, 2007

I really like my new BlackBerry 8100 White Pearl myFaves Phone (T-Mobile)! It's sleek, advanced features galor, and it's got that neat new EDGE technology! The only drawback is the keys are a bit small for people with larger hands and the calendar doesn't have a "bi-weekly" schedule setting. It's a very powerful device. I think it would make even Maxwell Smart say, "Gee whiz!"
fun and useful phone May 13, 2007

I received my phone for *free* through a deal on Amazon (with the T-mobile plan) and I love it! It is a great size, has all the functions of a useful phone, pda and an ok web browser. The navigation is pretty easy and the keyboard is just big enough. I still haven't figured out how to use everything, but I learn something new every week, which is kind of neat. It is fun and useful to have your email accessible on the main screen. If you care about phone rings, be prepared to purchase some online, because the ones included are lame. A normal phone ring sound is not even available. As far as the service goes, T Mobile has been pretty good. I had their service a few years ago and moved to Verizon because of dropped calls and poor reception. They must have improved their service because I haven't had any problems.
This Blackberry Is Sweet! April 21, 2007

This is my first venture into the world of Blackberry. So far, I'm impressed. I love being able to pick up my emails from anywhere T-Mobile's wireless network reaches. My contacts transferred from my old phone easily. In fact everything I needed to move over transferred easily. Phone clarity is good. People can hear me and I can hear other people. No static either.
I ordered the white blackberry. I am impressed with the pearlized finish. Although, I really would like to have the red one. Unfortunately, T-Mobile doesn't offer the red one. Can't afford to buy an unlocked one from Ebay either. It definitely draws attention when I pull this device out of my purse. People can't get over how small this Blackberry is. It fits in the palm of my hand. The screen is large and bright.
T-Mobile service has been very good. No problems, except I got this phone the day that Blackberry service crashed. T-Mobile was very nice and helpful when I called. They told me to wait until morning and I should be up and running, and I was. Hopefully crashes are a thing of the past now.
All in all, I am pleased with my Blackberry and with T-Mobile.
December 2007:
I see that T-Mobile is offering new colors; ruby red, sapphire blue and light gold. I still love my Blackberry, it's an awesome smartphone! I still make people jealous when I pull out my Pearl. Babs
Great phone! So far - at least March 2, 2007

I was a little apprehensive in the beginning to get this white version of BB Pearl. I was pleasantly surprised with its looks once I rec'd the shipment. It is a TRUE pearl color and not white or off-white as advertised.
I am new to BB and I wanted a phone that can basically sync with my Outlook. I am used to Windows mobile phones and could not find something I liked when the time came to get a new one.
Using this phone is pretty intuitive. I did not touch the user guide until now. Was able to sync with my Outlook Calendar and Contacts with ease. Call clarity is good and T-Mobile's reception at my work location is surprisingly far better than Cingular. I was not expecting this.
Connection to the internet and the usage of Yahoo Messenger is a breeze. Net speeds are good. Fav-five feature is useful and I can get away with just 300 minutes of talk-time.
It took me about a half-hour to get used to the typing (Suretype instead of multitap). But you need to have confidence in the phone that it figures out the word as you type, though the word looks awfully different from what you want while you are typing - it got it right by the end of the word 99% of the time. Moreover it learns new words as you use it.
I still need to figure out how to get Num-Lock on/off quickly to make it easier to type in just numbers in some cases instead of hitting the Shift key all the time.
The track ball's sensitivity is adjustable but I did not see a need for that. It takes a little bit to get used to but it is easy. I am a little concerned, given its sensitive roll and touch, if it is going to last the 2-year contract period. I am usually not a rough user of my gadgets, so it should be OK.
Finally - Google Maps are awesome!
I know they are not as good as Verizon's VZNavigator on my KRZR, but hey they are free.
