Strengths: great phone!!! no regrets!
Weakness: none!!!
I ordered this phone about two weeks ago and although there was a bit of confusion on what type of cell phone i needed such as the carrier, i received my cell phone. Everything was perfect and just the way I needed it. I will definetly be ordering more things from pricegrabber in the future.
Strengths: Many features
Weakness: Hourglass, a bit slow sometimes..prone to scratches.
If you're looking for a smartphone that isnt bulky like the 8700, I would get the Pearl. DO NOT get the Cingular Pearl. It is disgusting though it does have the PushToTalk feature. The 1.3 MP camera isn't so bad. I like how you can put in a 2GB microSD card. I just place 1GB of MP3s, 0.5GB of pictures and 0.5GB of apps/games. Now I don't need to carry my iPod Nano around with me. Many upgradable...
Strengths: Camera,Integrated MP3 player,slick and track ball
Weakness: qwerty keyboard
It is very good phone and easy to use. The most and advantageous feature of this phone is trackball with which we can operate it easily.Camera with 1.3mp which is good.For loading and playing music it is better to add a 1 gb micro sd card as cingular does not give with the phone. The map feature which is really good and can be operated like maps.google.com. Voice dialing also very good in this...
Strengths: Many best features includes camera,slick,Integrated MP3 player and track ball
Weakness: bit slow
It is very good and easy to use. The best feature of this phone is trackball. Camera is good.For downloading music is really superb. I would get the Cingular Pearl. It is really very nice features like PushToTalk feature. Voice dialing feature also very good. Very good and I would recommended to my friends.
Strengths: Stylish, small size
Weakness: Takes a while to get used to.
I like how this phone looks like but it is quite difficult to use. It is stylish and thin compared to the older Blackberry models. The qwerty phone keys are hard to use.
Strengths: Nice window with all the usefule application
Weakness: transfer and view picture is too slow
This product is very good and easy to use. The best feature of this phone is trackball. Camera is good. Also, you can put the microSD in and get more storage for store the picture and video. Overall, it is very good and I would to buy it!
Strengths: light weight
Weakness: Not on straight talk wireless
My gf loves her pearl. At one point I was contemplating buying one myself, that was of course until i found out that this service did not work with straight talk wireless from Walmart. With straight talk i get a great price and its on the Verizon network!
Strengths: Good nice handy tiny little phone covering most of the features you expect in cell phone
Weakness: Not find yet
I have given my daughter a phone as a present as she was looking for a phone which young girls can use. The blackberry ruby seems to be a good phone for young girls and she is so happy to start using this cell phone

The RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8100 is the most basic of the Pearl series of smartphones, though they are all very similar. The 8100 is compact and resembles a typical candybar handset more than full-size BlackBerry units. It has a QWERTY keypad and trackball layout, though there are two letters per key, one on each side, instead of a dedicated key for each letter. It offers many of the standard...

Strengths: great call reception, great applications, email on the go, good looks, micro SD slot, play movies, games, music all on the go!
Weakness: battery life could be better
I've had this phone for 4 months and I'm addicted to it at this point. I have a bunch of movies on it so I'm ready for any plane ride! It has great reception, works great with the bluetooth (Samsung WEP200) I have for it and I can download tons of applications for it. I also have email on the go and the voice dialing works decently. This phone has everything I need and some things I didn't know I...
