Rim Blackberry Pearl By Jonathan Sawhook on Oct 31, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

RIM's Blackberry Pearl has taken the blackberry world by storm. The Pearl is the first blackberry to have a camera phone and be an mp3 player. The Pearl replaced the 7100 blackberry models, late last year, and really hasn't looked back. I work in the IT and everyone that had a blackberry wanted the Pearl. So I got one and tried. This model is very slick. I really liked it; it was lighter, faster and could do so much more than any of the other blackberry's I had tried. I was really a fan of the camera and mp3 player. The Pearl is also equipped with a mini memory card slot, which can store up 2 GB of music and videos on. There was really nothing about this model that I didn't like, and then I remembered the keyboard. Though the Pearl had all the fancy extras, I still couldn't use the keyboard like I am accustomed to all the full keyboard models. At that point, I had to give it up. But I tell the users in the office to have the Pearl, they don't email as much as I do. They use it to mainly read emails and cell phone. Even today, I am getting more requests for the Pearl than any other model.
