Advantages: A great phone. Does exactly what its meant to. Disadvantages: Awful (and I mean truly awful) booklets and info. Setting up a nightmare
Blackberry Pearl 8120 Not quite a Pearl, but certainly not a dud. ~ So just what is the Blackberry Pearl? ~ Today's phones are pretty much like mini computers, allowing you to call, text, take photographs, videos, listen to music, and record notes.... Just about everything you can think of. I will include the rigid specifications of this phone at the very end of this review since not everyone wants to read them all, but just wants to know - how does ... ...keypad on your phone. The Blackberry Pearl has a keypad that is almost identical to the keyboard you find on your computer, although some letters do double up on a key to save space. But not only can you text, today you can send pictures, and even some videos. This is known as SMS and MMS. The Pearl allows for both and uses WAP technology to achieve it. Although SMS is the most common way for people to communicate on their mobile phones, MMS is rapidly ...

Advantages: Quality features, range of colours, internet access Disadvantages: Signal goes before phone
...out just how good a BlackBerry was. The actual phone is nice to hold, the buttons aren't too small and neither is the screen. It's not one of these silly thin phones or touch phones, I can feel the buttons I press and I can fee the phone in my hand. The numbers are set out as normal but the keyboard is like a computer and follows the QWERTY layout. I found the keyboard hard to use at first but soon grew fond of it, I'm a fast typer on the computer ... ...became an equally fast texter. As well as texting, this phone also allows you to e-mail and better yet, recieve e-mail which is great if you're expecting something important. The phone also has camera and video features, to be honest these aren't the best features the phone has to offer but I guess it had to lack something. The camera is just 2MP which is nothing compared to the new phones on the market that start off at 5MP and even 8MP. The videos ...

Advantages: SureType half-QWERTY keyboard fantastic for texting, WiFi browsing, Applications, thin build Disadvantages: No 3G, poor camera, need to pay £5pm for BlackBerry Internet when not in WiFi area
...available) have now included the BlackBerry Pearl as part of their PAYG service (however, I am using mine on contract). The phone is very sturdy, and includes a half-QWERTY keyboard, which takes a little getting used to, but once you start typing, texts become the easiest thing in the world - especially with the use of the SureType system, which intuitively learns your words and suggests words for you - much like a better T9 system. The screen is ... ...it can also record video and sound, so it's not the end of the world. All-in-all, this is a really good start for BlackBerry and Smartphone users like myself. The only decision I have now is whether to get an iPhone or a better BlackBerry when my contract expires! ...

...pay & go for the blackberry internet service which allows internet browsing & email etc. you can also use msn & facebook which is fantastic if you love to keep up with what you're friends are doing, you can either setup a blackberry email address or link your existing email account with the blackberry service either way you choose you'll never miss that important email as they are pushed straight to your phone as soon as they arrive., the phone also ... ...& other usueful features., my phone came with a 1gb micro sd card for storing my pictures/mp3's etc on which is great., altho i don't listen to music on my phone the card does allow you to use the video recording feature which you can set the quality of & send as email/mms etc. the phone also has built in wi-fi which worked flawlessly with my belkin router, the battery lasts me 2-3 days on a full charge i usually send/receive around 20 emails a day ...

Advantages: Email, music, Suretype, applications, easy to setup Disadvantages: Mine did go wrong, headphones suck, frequent charging needed
I got my BlackBerry free on contract and I also have insurance. I love my BlackBerry and won't ever go back to a normal phone and here is why: Emails to BlackBerry = Some would see this is a curse but for me it means I caan read, reply or delete during my day meaning one less job to do when I get home. I have multiple email accounts on mine meaning I miss nothing. Music (Media) = I use mine as an MP3 Player. I love it. Applications = Facebook annoys ... ...is also good and it plays videos (of course), it has lots of other features too. The predictive text on this phone is far superior to any other I have used so the fact the keyboard is small causes me no trauma, a guy may find it hard but I get on fine. My Pearl is Indigo in colour. So here are the issues if you are buying full price without contract you should be mindful of: - My phone gave me the white-screen-of-death with a spinning egg timer and ...

Advantages: everything, bbm, small size, light weight, suretype Disadvantages: it cant be grafted onto the palm of my hand
...if you don't have a blackberry you are missing out. Forget the iphone etc etc, we all have an ipod by now so we do not need a phone that also holds our music. The pearl is a great starting phone, and is perfect for women, due to its smaller size, it is much more comfortable than the others in the palm of ones hand, also because it is smaller, it just fits into pockets etc easily. Its buttons are bigger than the other blackberry's due to each button ... ...The best feature is blackberry messenger, available on all blackberry's, it means it is free to message anyone, anywhere in the world. It syncs really easily to all computers, including macs. it is so user friendly and has multiple ways your screen can be viewed. Plus you can use the blackberry lounge to consistently update your phone, and it only takes a couple of mins. It also comes in a variety of colours, black, titanium, pink, red and blue. ...

Advantages: Looks, features, battery life and style Disadvantages: Easily scratched
I recently purchased a new Blackberry Pearl 8120 - after reading several reviews about how difficult the keypad etc. was to use I was quite anxious. However, I have found that although it takes getting used to the keyboard is very easy to use. I particularly like being able to check e-mails on the move, whether these e-mails are the ones you want or not is another matter! You can also access the web and download lots of applications like Facebook. ... ...seem to register with the Blackberry so you keep getting the alert. I think it is also important to keep the device in the leather pouch provided as, if you are a butter fingers like me, it is easily scratched if ever dropped. Overall I think this is very good value for money, with bags of features and stylish to boot! ...

I was worried that my ability to view the internet would not be as good as on the curve, but it's fine. Sometimes the page is too large to view in one go, but you can change the view on your phone quite easily.
I recently found out that there are a range of apps that you can download for free onto your phone - these include games and tune wiki. The battery life isn't bad. I tend ...
