This is my family's fourth BBerry phone purchase and all have been durable workhorse text machines. 8100 model is appreciated for compact size compared to full QWERTY device. This is our second 8100 Pearl. First failed when the track ball mechanism failed. Hopefully, this one will last longer but since we bought used at pennies on the dollar, I have less invested to worry about. The BBerry devices have proven to be more durable than touch screen, and touch pad traditional phones and certainly more durable than sliders. End users range between 1000 and 3000 outbound messages a month and we had touchpad failures routinely. Those of us using BBerry have had devices in service over three years with no problems.
This phone is great. Its a miracle to text on, and surfing the web and checking mail is out of this world. The camera is great, and I love the fact that I can plug my headphones right into the phone without any adapter. Its great you can personalize the home menus and many more. You really do need to be technology savy to use this phone and all of its features. Overall, this phone is great, and its worth paying the extra data charges because you get so much more out of it.
The only thing that I don't like too much about this phone is the design of the keys, since there are two letters per key it makes it difficult to text. Once you're doing it for a while, you get used to it. I also wish it had Wi-Fi but since it's an older model, I guess it's expected. Overall, this is a great phone with long-lasting battery.
bought the BlackBerry Pearl 8100 2 month ago and was immediately impressed with the number of features available on this inexpensive phone. The BlackBerry Pearl 8100 size is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the battery has a pretty good lifespan of roughly 2.5 hours. Overall, I'd recommend the phone if you're on a budget.
It's a great phone, but I did not read thoroughly enough to see that it was an ancient model. I was not able to put my ringtones on it and I couldn't get text which is why I was buying a new phone to begin with. I don't use this phone anymore and I actually let my 3 year old play with it so she could feel important. This isn't the first time I haven't been happy with a phone purchase on ebay, so I won't be buying phones from ebay every again anyway.
