Lots of Uses, but Not Good at any of Them

Date of Review:  Aug 8, 2008
The Bottom Line: Seems like it was released before engineers finished developing it. The design has some truly stunning oversights. An overcomplicated device that still lacks simple functions that the core audience needs.
Review: This phone is mediocre at all of its supposed uses. It doesn't work that well as a phone - it has poor sound quality, especially with a bluetooth headset connected - it crackles. And you can't set it to vibrate and have a ringer at the same time...

It really is a "Crack"berry!

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is a great and functional phone. It's reasonably priced for all that it can do.
Review: I'm a total girly girl, so the minute they announced they were making a pink Blackberry Pearl, I was all over it - FINALLY something functional and fashionable! The guy at the store told me it would soon live up to it's second name - Crackberry, but...

blackberry jam.

Date of Review:  Jul 21, 2008
Review: So my blackberry is breaking down after one year of quality service. It has been a pretty good year with the BB pearl she has been user friendly, sleek, durable, and reliable. But like I said she is breaking down and not working like she used to...

Great phone!

Date of Review:  Jun 23, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would give this phone a try! I think it's impossible to hate it and I'm not even a gadget freak!
Review: I have gone through quite a few cell phones but the blackberry pearl is my favorite. It is sophisticated looking, small but not too small, very sleek and shiny. It is perfect!

I've had smaller phones which were so small that I would drop...

Review: The Blackberry Pearl can be a great phone for anyone. I have been using the phone for about four months now and I have grown to love it. I must admit that at first I thought it was way too small for me, but the longer I had the phone, the more I...

Great Phone

Date of Review:  May 18, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would recommend the pearl to any blackberry lover. It is easy to use and functions as needed.
Review: I have been through several different phones lately and this one has been my favorite. It is a great phone (it still has a few minor problems but all in all it is awesome). Its trackball is a great navigation tool and a great idea by RIMM. The Pearl...

EXCELLENT TOOL!

Date of Review:  Mar 23, 2008
The Bottom Line: Overall I would recommend this device highly to anyone looking for a dependable phone and organizer. This is truly my first phone which I would label as ?smart.?
Review: I am writing this review after only having my Blackberry Pearl for a few days, so this is my initial impression. I will update this if anything should change.

A little background:
I have owned a few smart phones in the past and I use...
