BlackBerry Pearl from T-Mobile Review

Intended Audience:

Style-conscious mobile professionals who need to stay in touch but need all the functionality of a BlackBerry.

Form:

The BlackBerry Pearl from T-Mobile is a slimmed down, sleeker version of the familiar BlackBerry PDA. It feels better in your hand, particularly if you have small hands and found the full size BlackBerry difficult to manage one-handed.

Function:

Both the black Pearl and the white Pearl from BlackBerry have all the features you need and expect in a lower profile, lighter model. The Pearl sports an easy to read color display that comes in handy for checking mail from up to 10 email accounts.

Phone:

The BlackBerry Pearl is compatible with T-Mobiles myFaves plan, so you can use your smartphone to IM, text, and talk to your 5 favorite people all you want, regardless of what carrier they're on.

Web:

Full HTML browser makes web surfing easy and the trackball makes navigating a breeze. Our favorite feature? You can click on a phone number in a web page and automatically dial. No more writing down numbers and then dialing.

Email:

The Pearl also allows you to stay productive on the move with the ability to view Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents and open email attachments.

Messaging:

With T-Mobile's BlackBerry data plan, unlimited text messages are included and the Pearl's keyboard makes typing easy.

Fun:

The BlackBerry Peark didn't leave out the fun - it has a 1.3 Megpixel camera with 5x digital zoom and built-in flash. Plus it has an integrated MP3 player, so when you're ready to unwind, it's still handy to have.

Is it For You?

If you need to stay productive on the road but don't want a bulky PDA or smart phone then the BlackBerry Pearl (in black or white - your choice) is a great option for you.
