This phone is def. not worth the $250 I paid for it. It freezes up all the time. Its so overly complicated. I cant even add a signiture to my text messages!!

I've been using the pearl for around 3 months and have been very happy with it. I get 3 different email accounts on the phone including my clender from work. The keyboard is a little tough to use, but its a fair tradeoff for size. The phone has some great features like mp3 and video. I usually keep 2-3 full length movies in case I am stuck waiting in line or on a plane. The internet connection isn't super fast, but its adequite to get maps or do searches. Physically, I think this is the nicest looking phone on the market. Super sharp screen and a nice feel. I recommend this phone to anyone.

This is my first Blackberry, It is really an amazing product from RIM. I am quite happy with the product. The media player quality is great. Navigation roller is a great concept it just mimics the mouse.
Great phone, great customer service from T-Mobile June 28, 2007

I have to say I was very impressed with all of the features this Blackberry has. What impressed me the most was the size! A full Blackberry with the size of a small cellphone, love it. T-Mobile helped me get set up and they were very polite and helpful, and their coverage is pretty strong in my area. Email and web access is pretty fast on this phone, and call quality is also pretty good. The only thing that rubs me the wrong way about this phone is the glossy finish that seems to show off every fingerprint. Other than that, very satisfied.

One of the sleekest and most compact Blackberry phones yet, the BlackBerry Pearl has everything you need.
Instead of looking like a 'brick' as many people often say about the BlackBerry lineup, the BlackBerry Pearl is anything but that. About the size of a candy bar, the design is easy to slip in your pocket, and easy to talk into. Though not a full sized keyboard, the keyboard allows for a smaller phone, yet still manages to make typing easier than your standard keypad. The trackball is an amazing feature that one should not over look. When you're typing e-mail, playing a game, or just surfing the net, you'll find that the trackball will save you a lot of time and frustration. The screen is your typical screen, slightly bigger than a normal phone, but nothing special that makes it stand out. The casing of the phone is of a fairly strong material and could probably take a few drops on carpet. However if you drop it on concrete or some other hard ground, I don't think it would work again.
The BlackBerry Pearl software isn't as hard as many think. I'm pretty good when it comes to computers, yet I had never played around with the BlackBerry OS until the day I got this phone. I will admit that the first time I played with the OS in the store, that I found it slightly confusing. However, by the end of the day I had already learned everything there is to know. The OS has your typical text messaging, e-mail, Internet, and one game.
Never again will you have to pay for ring tones or wallpaper. The phone lets you import pictures and music straight from your computer. I do recommend that you buy a 1gig SD card for additional memory. After buying the memory stick I was able to import an entire movie without a problem. I have found problems with the 2gig memory from working though.
My biggest, and only issue is the signal quality. There's been many times where I've only had two bars and other times been disconnected. Despite being in a major city, I still run into problems trying to find a strong signal. The signal is good the majority of time, however I don't find the signal to be any better than my previous phone which was just a tracfone.
Many people think of BlackBerry as a phone made for the businessman, but the Blackberry Pearl changes that thought by offering a stylish phone with a low learning curve. If you want to have the hottest phone on the market, and avoid spending hundreds on a phone with the same features, this phone is for you.
