The phone is a good product. I like the features. The only thing it doesn't do is connect with the internet and I cannot receive my personal emails. I've been on the phone with Blackberry Support several different days for several hours and they could not get the phone to register with the IEMI and PIN number that the phone has. There's not even a manufacturers name on phone. I don't even know if this is a legit phone made by BlackBerry. The delivery was awesome. I was told that I would have it in 7 to 10 days and I had it in 3.
Well I don´t have any unlike about the status operational of this item, because for the type of item, a very low price was paid. Also I was warned about the detail that the battery cover was not included with the item. The phone works very well. My unlike is about that sometimes the pictures shown in the bidding are not a very well picture of the item. In this case the pictures showns the item without the battery cover and very normal signs of wear. But As I received the item, it was very ugly, not with signs of use, very very used, but in the pictures didn´t looks like that. Anyway I have had to expend more money getting a complete set of new covers for this phone. Anyway it works, and I am satisfied with the purchase.
I can honestly say that I LOVE BRICKBREAKER, which is the game that comes with any and all BlackBerry devices and anyone who has owned one will know what I mean!! As far as the phone itself, it is outdated but I knew that when I purchased it. I bought it solely for the game, as I think I may have to get an iPhone to be "up to date" with technology! Now, as far as the applications of the BlackBerry - not bad, if you use them for business and are integrated with other BlackBerry users or the BlackBerry server. I don't require one for work, it's strictly personal and for that I only really use: BRICKBREAKER ALL THE TIME, the camera, video on occasion, definitely SMS (text messaging) and BBM (BlackBerry Messenger). I am happy enough with the quality I get for the pictures, the text messaging aspect is fine (it takes a bit to get used to SureType technology)but I find the buttons are way too small for my average fingers!! That has been corrected in the newer and larger BlackBerry devices. Product support here really shines. BlackBerry support, forums and freeware is second to none! I am thrilled with it and would recommend purchasing a BlackBerry for that reason.Read full review
What can one say? This model (Pearl 8100) is what a smart phone should always be. It is small, useful for mature grown-up adults who don't want to waste their days ruining their thumb joints with endless texts and internet frenzied browsing. However, if one desires, this will do it just as well as the newer, bigger, more expensive, and quickly obsolete models. Take for what it is - a truly excellent phone with all the bells and whistles that still rival anything newer out there.
Blackberry Pearl 8100 is an ideal choice for a personal phone that does emails, MMS, and standard Internet and Phone functions. The smart type is confusing at first but actually assits you in your communications and tracking. Do not be afraid of this phone. The camera is adquate but if you want great pictures you will need a higher MP phone.
