Finally, a BlackBerry that appeals to the regular consumer. The Pearl is an excellent device that sacrifices none of RIMs famous email functionality while still managing to provide a compact and light form factor and multimedia capabilities.
Slim and sexy design, Lightweight, BlackBerrys email and business functionality, Multimedia capabilities, Inclusion of a camera, Quadband, Flash memory and microSD card, New consumer focus
No 3G connectivity, No QWERTY keypad, No WiFi, Poor camera quality
Consumers that have already been lured by the BlackBerrys popular email functions will love the new-look Pearl, but may be disappointed when comparing it to other high-end consumer devices with 2-megapixel cameras and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Access to company and personal email, slim and lightweight size, responsive, accurate predictive text system for email and SMS
Limited feature set compared to other multimedia mobiles, difficult with support for different video playback formats, digital cameras flash and zoom are questionable
The BlackBerry Pearl may be the ultimate cross-over device for business users at the top end of town, but its consumer features are a little on the light side to win over the average mainstream user.

This is undoubtedly the jewel of the BlackBerry range. The candy-bar design has come a long way since RIM’s original – a broader device that took up the width of your palm. This sleek black number can properly be called a phone rather than a P...
Tidy design; memory expansion; music playback; easy mobile email
No Wi-Fi; 2.5mm headset jack; smallish screen; average camera; memory expansion slot under battery
The Pearl is the first consumer-grade BlackBerry and it certainly looks the part. You should steer clear if you want a smart phone with every flashy feature, but if youve been tempted by a BlackBerry before and felt the devices were too chunky, staid...
