    4.0 out of 5 stars Good compromise, 1 May 2009
    By S. Gelder (Chester, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: BlackBerry Pearl 8100 Sim Free RIM Smartphone - Black (Electronics)
    Have used a Pearl for about 2 years. Was previously resistant to the lure of Blackberrys but gave in and am now an avid convert. How would I manage without it at work?
    It is similar sized to standard mobile phones but has more keys and a better screen. Synchronisation with MS Outlook works well. I have used my phone for mainly e-mail, probably sending about up to 20 messages a day from the Pearl. After practice, quite long e-mails are easy. As the device is compact, it is usable to type e-mails whilst walking, using the thumb of the hand holding the phone (briefcase in other hand!). Much easier to type than texting on a normal mobile phone. My main gripe, and the reason I have upgraded the phone is the predictive text facility. Due to each key representing two characters, this facility attempts to form words whilst you hammer away at the key pad. A lot of the time it gets the words right. However, a lot of the time it is downright annoying and time-consuming to form the words you want rather than what it wants. The camera and media player seem quite good, which is a bonus as they were not high priority in choosing this device.
    I am in the process of upgrading to a Blackberry 8900 with a full keyboard which will overcome my main niggle with the Pearl. The 8900 is bigger though and will be less convenient to carry in a trouser or shirt pocket.
    Overall, if you want a mobile e-mail device which is smaller than a traditional Blackberry, the Pearl is an invaluable tool.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Well its the best mobile for business I have used!, 28 Aug 2008
    By Mr. G. Bridgeman-clarke "Graham Bridgeman-Clarke" (Rayleigh UK) - See all my reviews
    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: BlackBerry Pearl 8100 Sim Free RIM Smartphone - Black (Electronics)
    Believe me, I think I must have used most mobile on the market some time or the other. Okay that's an exaggeration the does feel like it as I get through two mobiles a year. I currently use and I find and this Blackberry Pearl. If you compare the iPhone with a Blackberry Pearl the Blackberry Pearl wins hands down, though the Blackberry Pearl is for business use, I tend to use it more for both personal and business use of then I use the iPhone. It is compact and has stacks of useful features with one or two eccentric featres like the rollball and the two letters to each button making texting a bit taxing but pretty easy after a bit of practice.


    I find the phone quick to start up ie within 20 seconds. On start it shows my unread emails from my business, BT and Mac accounts and text messages. Brilliant. Excellent programmes including diary, camera phone with flash, e-mail, web browsing, mp3 player, video, picture gallery alarm etc and to be honest I can't fault it. It is small enough to but my trouser pocket and walk round without an unsightly bulge. I must admit I'm not into bulky phones.


    I note that quite a few people do not seem to like this phone but I work on the basis that you need to read the manual, learn the features and have a phone for at least a few months then make a decision. I think I am justified in giving this phone a rave review and I am currently due upgrade to my mobile and I have decided not to upgrade my iPhone to the new version but I will certainly consider upgrading my Blackberry to the next level.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Blackberry Pearl 8100, 5 Sep 2009
    By Frederick P. Matthews (Salisbury England) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: BlackBerry Pearl 8100 Sim Free RIM Smartphone - Black (Electronics)
    Was looking for a telep[hone which would enable me to get on line easily, send and retrieve email all at a reasonable price.
    The product performs well. I retrieve email online because the device only supports direct email through a Blackberry Server. I have found it easy to use, it is smaller than other Blackberry devices and so fits into my pocket easily.
