 The best little phone I've ever owned! June 24, 2008
The Blackberry Pearl 8100 is the best cell phone I have had the pleasure of owning. It's so tiny, yet packed with so many features. With BlackBerry service, you get PUSH email and wireless access to the web. It's so great to be able to wirelessly get your email just a couple of seconds after the message is sent! Certainly my next phone will be a BlackBerry!
 Made by Qualcomm??? April 5, 2008

I purchased my first blackberry this year. I heard all about what a great gadget it is so I purchased a blackberry Pearl along with the Blackberry data plan. Well, to my surprise, the device isn't even manufactured by blackberry or Research in Motion, it's a Qualcomm phone! A cheaply made Qualcomm phone.
The back of the device is constantly falling off and the mobile browser that comes included with the device is horrible. There is no touch screen, the keys are too small, and the intelligent typing feature is a drag when you need to enter an email address. For example, it doesn't recognize "com", it pretty much forces you to enter "vom"..
Next time I will get an Apple IPhone. The blackberry doesn't come even close to the Iphone in features and quality and the pearl is just $100-150 cheaper. What I don't think people realize is the blackberry pushes your email to your phone while most of the smart phones out there allow you to choose to have your email pushed to your phone or you can pull it yourself.
I should have gotten one forever ago March 27, 2008

I absolutely love this thing. Granted I've never had a Blackberry before... but this thing is awesome! It's cute, fits well in my purse or pocket, it's light and its so easy to type on it with the word recognition software.
I have it set up to get my Gmail and my Yahoo! mail, which is awesome because now I am always aware of when people are at their computers responding to my emails. The camera has a flash which is super cool, but just to give you an idea of how user-friendly it is, it's got a mirror next to the flash so that you can take photos of yourself or with someone else and know exactly what's in the picture.
I have the pink silicon sleeve on mine which makes it that much sexier. I keep my grocery list on it and I also use it to look up recipes when I am in the grocery store... tell me that's not the most convenient thing ever!
Best thing of all: I am able to log into my online classes and read the lectures. Love it love it love it!!!!!

I love this phone. The only problem that I have had with it is that some times the trackball gets stuck. Other than that it's the best phone that I have ever had. I would really suggest that if you need a beginner smart phone or need a new one that this is the route to go. Although some had concerns about the suretype keyboard, it's really easy to get used to. I added a typing game so that I could learn how to maneuver better around the keys and it helped a lot.
Impressive! January 26, 2008

I purchased this phone Nov 2007 after reviewing and researching many others. I was replacing a Motorola A630. I have this in the white shade through the T-Mobile network.
It is solid, encased in stainless steel/chrome. I was somewhat skeptical about the predictive messaging and the absence of a full keyboard initially but the sure type keyboard is laid out qwerty style which helps a great deal. After some getting used to the predictive text/sure type is a breeze.
The camera functions well for my needs. I didn't expect it to put out digi-cam quality photos which is why I own one separately to use. The images are clear and with good color. I use them for my background wallpaper and they work well.
This is a quad band world phone which was highly important to me as I travel out of the country. It worked well, both voice/text, but the service out of the country is pricey. There was one or so times where I couldn't call out due to busy circuits but it wasn't for a long period of time, just an hour or so.
This phone has many great features that I don't even use which is why I gave it 5 stars. Bluetooth, music player, Web browsing (Gprs & Edge) Blackberry data services (cost extra) instant messaging, email and lots more. The important aspects of this phone for me are the speaker function, which works very well. It is loud and clear. Text messaging is the other, works great, I have an unlimited package plan, and of course voice. It works well, I have never experienced any poor quality calls, nor dropped calls. It comes with a sensored case that control the backlighting. When you put the phone away in the case the light automatically goes off, when you take it out, it comes on. The case is also interactive with how you receive your calls. If it's in the case it will vibrate to alert you, when out of the case, it will ring as you have it set up to do, a really neat feature. I briefly lost my case and missed it dearly due to those interactive features. This phone exceeds my expectations, and while I was never a Blackberry fan, I can honestly say, I will likely be one for a long time to come. I have recommended it to quite a few people, for business and casual use.
Pros~Packed & stacked with great features as mentioned above + more, syncs up with my computer nicely to transfer data/files, can charge via my laptop without digging out the wall charger, battery life is good for my usage, it's grown & sexy :) It attracts alot of attention, the memory is expandable, so far my memory is holding up well and I haven't even put the memory card in that I purchased for it.
Cons~The keys are a little small, if you have large fingers this may be an issue for you. I have a clear plastic case that I put it in to protect the body of the phone, but it doesn't fit into the interactive case that comes with the phone, I wish it were just a lil bit bigger, overall....A very satisfied user.
