BlackBerry's are the absolute perfect phone for someone on the go. This one is okay. I suggest getting some serious memory if you plan to run any applications or else the phone will run suuuper slowly. I have 4GB of memory and have my personal email, facebook, eBay, weather, news, and pictures. Hopefully that can kind of give you an idea of how much memory to purchase. Other than that, it's a good phone. I like that you can change the font size to fit your needs and I also like the size of it and the big screen! :D Also, with this one, you can still use the T9 feature like most phones on the keyboard, so typing can be done quickly! Overall, I would recommend this phone to someone who knows how to use BlackBerry's and/or is at LEAST okkkay with technology, as there is a lot to this phone.
Pros - I love how the phone is smaller than my previous phone, and that it isn't a flip phone. The camera is very nice and easy to use as just a phone. It's loud and clear when you have an incoming call, and it's got a good sized screen with options to make the text larger, change font, color, etc. Cons - There is no button specifically designated to entering the camera mode, instead you have to scroll through a bunch of icons to find either the photo or video mode, which can take too long. The qwerty keypad is a bit cramped even though the letters are doubled-up, which makes it even harder and slower to type out a message, url address, or even just a name! When typing, you have to choose which letter you want by scrolling to it, which can take up to 4 times as long as if you were typing on a standard cell phone with only 12 buttons. Overall it's a nice phone if you don't plan to be using it to sms or send emails a lot. I only wish that the qwerty keys worked similarly to that of any other non-smart-phone.Read full review
I completely disagree with the review saying there's no dedicated camera button. That is simply wrong. There are configurable buttons on either side that you can assign to any function. Not even my new Droid has that feature. The fact that I still find myself missing my Pearl sometimes tells me it's a pretty decent little smart phone. When it comes to function, RIM knows their stuff. As with any tool, there's a learning curve (and that includes the unique keyboard) but after you've spent a little time with it, the Pearl is very efficient and capable. By modern standards, the camera is nothing special. And lint can collect between the screen and the case and it's difficult to clean out. Otherwise, it would have an 'excellent' rating from me. (Full disclosure--I'm selling this phone as I write this review. That said, it's an honest assessment that I decided to post after seeing at least one negative review that was so far off the mark.)Read full review
Actually, this is a backup phone for my daughter.......she is pretty rough on phones so needs a spare. She likes the smaller size a lot. She also has a Storm and a Curve. She tends to get them wet.......running in the rain with it..........texting from the shower........the usual stuff college girls do. One always seems to be drying out in the oven! The fact that they come back to life says a lot for the product. Thank goodness Verizon lets you activate your different phones online easily.
this is a very good phone. it has all the features you would really need in a phone & it is very easy to use & set up. it has a 2 mega-pixel camera(with flash) which takes good quality photos. there are two downfalls to this phone 1.it doesn't accept SIM cards (it's CDMA), so it only works in the USA and it doesn't have WIFI... but apart from that it's a very good phone at a reasonable price
