BlackBerry Pearl-8120 Black Cell Phone

User rating Not Rated | Add review With its bar style form factor and SureType keypad, the Pearl 8120 looks no different than its predecessor the 8100, but Blackberry has added several key features to make this smartphone stand out from the crowd. Key features now include Wifi, stereo Bluetooth, video capture, 2.0 megapixel camera and a 3.5mm headset jack along with push email and an expandable memory card slot.

In-Depth Review

What’s Not Good: OS Menus and Fonts Remind me of 1989; SureType QWERTY board will be too small for some; Video capture quality is mediocre

Bottom Line: T-Mobile’s new Pearl takes a good thing and makes it better by way of integrated Wi-Fi networking for data access and T-Mob’s HotSpot@Home service.  A few other minor improvements make the handset’s media player and keyboard a little bit better.  Pearl’s still too small for my hands, but it packs smartphone functionality and money saving features into a great device that looks and feels like a phone — not a brick.  RIM’s gotta overhaul their user interface soon, though.  The icons and fonts feel more and more dated every day.
