 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.

My first Blackberry and I am hooked. It is easy to use, stylish, and saves time..no longer do I have do delete mail from my computer, I can do it from the road. When some business is done I am alerted right away, The fun thing is that I learn new applications all the time. Get this phone and join the party!

I find this phone hard to use. The instruction book is hard to use too. Worst feature of all, the phone makes calls when I put it, unlocked, in my purse and it gets bumped by anything. I thought it was just me but I get accidental calls from other Pearl users too. The handset can be locked but watch out if you forget because you'll make unintended calls at awkward times. I would not recommend this phone.
Great phone, Great deal, Great service provider! June 11, 2007

I have had this phone for over a month, and i absolutely love it. Amazing features in such a small package. What T-Mobile lacks in service coverage, they make up in costomer service, service plans, and phone prices. Overall I couldn't be happier with my decision to leave Verizon.
Awesome phone from Amazon's price June 9, 2007

The BlackBerry Pearl is a great phone for young people ages 21 to 30. It basically has all of the features of higher-end models of smartphones and the medial player is a plus. I'm a mac user and syncing is not a problem, simply use PocketMac sync manager and it'll sync address books, contacts, stickies and some others.
The only 'problem' that most people have is in regards to the keypad and the SureType being kinda difficult at times. However the more you type, the SureType learns words used frequently so you can just keep typing away. As far as the keypad being very small, well what do you expect? The phone is about the same width as a Razr so you'll have to sacrifice the traditional Qwerty keypad. I have fairly large hands and i just use my thumb and index finger and typing is very manageable.
All in all, this is one of the best smartphones out there considering Amazon's price, the phone's versatility and T-mobile's data plan!!
