My Second Pearl January 20, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The first one was lost on a trip to New York.
I used to have one of the earlier blackberry models with a full keyboard and had heard about people that hated this layout, but I found it really easy to use, once I got used to it.
I also love the fact that it has a camera (much better quality than the camera on my LG phone), Google Maps, gmail, AOL instant messenger and programmable buttons. And it is much sleeker and cooler looking than the square shaped blackberries.
But you do need to make sure it stays in your pocket and not in the cab.

I have had nothing, but problems from T-Mobile. The phone is great when it works, but dropped calls are a real problem and I can't use it at home because the sound is so bad. I would get this phone with another carrier or suffer the consequences.
 Great phone! September 10, 2007

At a great price.
I just regret a little when I see the fee on my bill for Blackberry services, remembering that my wife just use the phone for the "call" functionality...
First Blackberry... I was also changing carrier. August 10, 2007

Before I order this phone through Amazon, I went to a local store to see it first. I recommend this, because you can feel, see and test the phone to see if you like it. I really like the pearl and this is my first Blackberry. There are many new things to learn about the pearl and I am finding new things about the pearl everyday. The sure type takes a while to get use to. I love the size, weight and the vivid colors of the screen. The phone is compact, so if you have big fingers, it would not work out. You will also need to purchase a separate Mirco SD memory card if you want to upload MP3 songs and ring tones or take pictures etc... More updates to come about the phone.
Pearl is 5 stars.
As for T-mobile service. The service is great and the customer service is really good. I was switching from another carrier and I wanted to keep my number. When you sign a new contract, Amazon gives you a preset phone number. What I did is, I called T-mobile and they were able to switch over and I was able to keep my old number. If there was something that a consumer wants, T-mobile will do their best to accommodates.
T-mobile is 5 stars.
Don't know how I ever got a long without one July 25, 2007

Being locked into Verizon for another year before I'm eligible for an upgrade, I was very tempted to buy a Blackberry Pearl from T-mobile. I went to the T-mobile store and just couldn't justify spending another $200 when I already have a phone. And then I went to Amazon.com...
At $50 I couldn't afford to pass up such a sweet deal, so I ordered this phone. While waiting for the shipment to arrive, many questions ran through my mind: will I like the predicative text? will T-mobile service be comparable to Verizon? (the so called most reliable network in the US); will the internet be significantly slower than 3G? etc.
I can tell you all confidently that I LOVE predicative text - even more than a full QWERTY keyboard. The service has been superb - comparable if not better than Verizon (I've kept both phones side by side). My T-mobile phone has even gotten better reception than Verizon in some places and I have yet to drop one call in two weeks. Also, I cannot tell the difference between Edge and 3G - it's a wash for me.
Before this pearl, I never had a Blackberry. They were just too big to fit into my pocket (I wear fitted pants), and I wasn't about to clip one onto my belt. This phone is the perfect combination of style and functionality.
I can't even begin to tell you how much time this phone saves me throughout the day. Instead of having to compulsively check email for personal and eBay related things, I instantly know when I get an email because my blackberry light flashes red. Furthermore, I can respond to that email and delete it all while at a concert/ dinner/ the park/ etc.
2 thumbs up, I don't know how I ever got a long without this phone.
