Very usable and takes decent pictures July 7, 2008
I've had this phone since October of 07 and it's held up very well to the abuse I've put it through. It's very easy to use, just get through the set up wizard, install the BB organizer on your PC and enjoy. The qwerty key pad is great for typing out E-mails for my work while off-site. Any E-mails or pics I receive can easily be put onto my home pc with the usb cord and software that comes with the phone. I can also send decent pictures of my son to my family across the country whenever I feel the need.
My only problem with this phone is finding a durable case which isn't the phones fault, but I gone through 2 swivel cases and a silicone case in the last 9 months.
I do recommend getting some additional memory if you plan on using this for an mp3 player or take loads of pictures.
 good phone.... July 6, 2008
I have this phone and I know others that own it too, while I do love it, I have had several problems with the trackball and know others have too.
No On/Off Switch June 22, 2008
Who was the idiot that decided to leave out an on/off switch? As a result, whenever there is a problem, you have to remove the back, pull out the battery, wait, reinsert the battery, and wait for about a 2 minute reboot. Reminds me of how long I have to wait for a Microsoft operating system to boot up. This was a huge oversight by some Blackberry engineer. I am glad he's not a brain surgeon - he might have forgotten anesthesia.
This device is an OK phone. It does not always pick up all of the email. I don't like the small keyboard (difficult for a man's fingers). Overall, I would not buy this product again.
 The best phone yet June 15, 2008
I'm not a phone geek, and I don't pretend to be a subject matter expert, but this is the best phone I've ever used. The screen looks great, the phone is very strong (I've dropped it many many times), the buttons and scroll ball are easy to use, text messaging is easy (it guesses what I'm typing 9 times out of 10), it is packed with features, and it was free (with 2-years service contract).
NO complaints.
How much I missed my BlackBerry! May 22, 2008
For a few years I used a work-paid Pocket PC. As I wasn't paying for it, I took what I was given but I was disappointed with the unit for the most part. Prior to it I had been a BlackBerry user for a while and had loved it.
The 8100 Pearl is not only slick-looking: it delivers on the promise. The interface has now migrated away from the wheel on the side to the tracking ball in the front. Navigation continues to be a breeze and typing is not sacrificed by combining multiple letters into the same key, thanks to the smarts of the device that typically identify the word you are typing as you go.
Most of the pre-installed software runs like a charm and is intuitive to use. The main exception is the browser. Luckily you can download and run Opera Mini for free to get a nice mobile browsing experience.
The camera takes great pictures when you have good light. It doesn't perform as well doing indoor photos, but what do you want for 1.3 MP?
All in all, I now realize how much I had been missing my BlackBerry. I don't know you iPhone users out there. BlackBerry is with me for good!
