[harrymedan]

nice job man. I did a video review of the Blackberry Pearl as well. check it out.

[badboyben2000]

does the blackberry pearl have blackberry messenger 

[TheViperGuy6825]

That's knot the 8100 look on any web site. the 8100 pearl didn't have a silver mic. It was black so that's the 8200 or the 8300

[addison567]

[skaterdudehunter113]

@addison567 i got mine for 70

[jldmurray13]

i had that phone

[treemagnet88]

This phone is a piece of shit.

[george3681]

fuck is it really i just bought it for a 100bucks wats wrong with it ????

[treemagnet88]

The keys will fall off over time, the pearl ball will give you callouses if you use it a lot and loses sensitivity, the screen gives you eye strain, the menus are a pain to navigate, there are no settings for many things (like turning off the camera shutter sound, or turning off key tones when dialing, etc.)... generally it's just not a well thought out or constructed device.

And it came out about 3-4 years ago.

Really, you paid $100 for it? The HTC Hero was $100 at Best Buy last week.

[saqibd123new]

if i have a sim from 3, and i put it in this which doesnt have 3g, what will i miss out on, will still get my free iternet?

[laurenbarbiie]

this phone isnt 3g? you'll miss out on everything.

You wont get good signal anywhere, if you're lucky you get any signal, and network three's signals bad enough as it is.

It has to be a 3g phone. im in the same situation, i hate my network three mobile. I want to buy a nice blackberry or something but theyre too expencive in the three store! i never knew this phone wasnt 3G, thats annoying.

[saqibd123new]

yeah u right, the signals not too bad forme but its not great, and now i as thinking of buying an 8900 but off of a friend whos getting an upgrade.Its battered up and will need a new housing, AND it doesnt have 3g also, but its fuking cheap and im gnna beg my parents for a contract.

[2009kyledaly2012]

can you take out your sim card?

[In2Infinity]

thats what i want to know as well, my friend said he will give his to me soon once he gets a new one, i gues ill have to wait till then

[NZMAORIGURL238]

What type of memory card do those phones take? Thanks

[marinkoczfc]

@NZMAORIGURL238

Micro SD 8gb on my fon..

[nancycakes5]

If i buy this phone can i go onto youtube

[CalebsCrazy]

Yes, But video quality is poor. :(

[nancycakes5]

agh really

-_-

[zippysdemilition]

is

[ilovewwe12341]

this phone is barely a blackberry! its the black sheep of the blackberry family!

[fidzimreviews]

this video would of been better if u turned on ur phone, guess i have to check somone elses video instead of urs

[Raz638]

worst bb ever!!...blackberry bold 9700 is the best

[butterflybest3040]

@Raz638 true that!

[cena22wwe]

pearl its pretty good phone i got the bold i love it i got it for $100 with a 2 year plan before i had the bold i had this phone but i had the flip one it was pretty good but this one is better than the blackberry pearl flip

[DiiegoSanchezxD]

[wealllovederbycounty]

[poopsexis]

[PoeticAmazon]

3G, yes. WiFi, no.

[trustmeizold]

[HolmecaPau]

No its such a shit phone i bought it when it came out it is terrible i would recommend a Nokia 5530 Xpressmusic. seriously buy this phone and you will regret it.

[trustmeizold]

[MrAlexh123]

[natancresslovver653]

excellent thanks!

[6mddt]

this is really a good one but my favorite is the bold

[Sububababa]

WOW the bold is just extreme

[iManueLLL]

Is there any way to hide texts so people can't find them? For instance I have my B.B set so the left side bar comes up as the text screen when pressed. But is there any other way because its pretty easy to spot when found. Please reply!

[DisMY32]

[asiansinsation3]

[cstyle09]

@footballsk8r dude! me too, i actually got two for the price of one(20$) for me and my sister.

[Mutterjunge]

I heard that the keys for this BB are rubber. Is that true or are they hard plastic?

[jldmurray13]

this phone breaks down is you drop it on a rug the one had only lasted for 8 months and would not send text any more

[letsXtalkXbaby30]

how would you type wit it if you dont have t9? cos theres 2 letters on one key

[SnowLeopard2008]

multi tap. one tap for 1st letter, double tap for 2nd letter.

[letsXtalkXbaby30]

thankkkkyou :) wud u reccomend it cos my fones being gay so i have to get a new one nd i want one that would actually last

[KagiSpirit95]

@SnowLeopard2008 good thing but i use typing in other way first i learned where the letters are than i just press the buttons whitou moving my finger away from the keypad it also works

[MilagrosEsperanza]

@letsXtalkXbaby30 theres an option called SureText.. the same as t9 pretty much.

[partyqueen2]

im getting the colour pink but i dont know if it is right for me??

is their other good colours beside from black and silver???

[SnowLeopard2008]

theres grey and red, like mine.

[partyqueen2]

o okk then but i like the colour purple

[SnowLeopard2008]

on a phone? think about that...

[partyqueen2]

hey im gettin this phone from my cousin im wondering if its easy to tex people

[Br00talChild77]

yea if you like T9 then it is good for txting well my opinion and music

[jizzletheasian1]

NOpe. its Really hard

if its wrong spelling, like brb or knw

they'll keep popping out errors and crap

[SnowLeopard2008]

just turn that off.

[lalalajordan7]

i've got it and it's so easy don't worry

[GoldenGeisha79]

I'm strongly considering getting this phone next wk, but not sure about the internet capabilities. Will I be able to play videos without interruption and how is the music sound quality?

[SnowLeopard2008]

not this model, but i think the 8130 does.

[SnowLeopard2008]

i liked this phone for the size but the curve is better for texting due to the bigger keyboard.

[k20fan4life]

why my blackberry pearl dosent have a little hole thing to put a memory card on it??

 thank you!

[SnowLeopard2008]

all pearls have a slot. its on the side.

[k20fan4life]

why my blackberry pearl you cant put a memory card on it??

[Humbercrest]

Do you still have this phone and if so,

Do you think i should get it ?

[SnowLeopard2008]

someone broke mine...

but it is a solidly built phone, a stable platform. very good for texting, the size is just right. go for it!

[Humbercrest]

lol , i got the curve instead ( :

[William82oct]

I have the same one and I was trying to set up my blackberry messenger but it will say "Please enter your name as you would like others to see it" and when I click ok it will say " Your name cannot be empty". How can I enter my name to set up my messenger?

[partyqueen2]

hey what other colours are good for a girl

cause i already have the pink one

[laurabtv]

there is also blue u know

[Ugonna94]

can i put color pearl on this phone?

[SnowLeopard2008]

not this model, only the 8100 has it i believe. RIM removed the color LEDs from behind the trackball in later models bc of the lack of real use (business use, not just for looks).

[ninababy212]

wow really...why.?

[SnowLeopard2008]

he's lying, this blackberry model was first released in January of 2008.

[ninababy212]

I like this phone and I'm thinking on buying it but is it still "IN STYLE".?

[SnowLeopard2008]

it's a blackberry, always in style.

[gaga2bechillin]

can you get like a cover for it?

[SnowLeopard2008]

yea, go look on ebay.

[AliyaWilliams]

mk thx it worked :)

[MrAlexh123]

is this phone a good buy? ive heard it is quick complicated? is thiss true? and im thinking of buying this phone on PAYG with free internet will it have the msn feature? thanks!

[SnowLeopard2008]

yes, it's not complicated it all once u get used to it. I'm sure it has the msn feature, but I haven't tried it myself.

[TAYLORLAUTNEROCKKKS]

i love that phone but mine is pink!!

[spartanosia5]

oh and it flashes green when the battery is low and blue for bluetooth...and flashes red when u get a text too

[spartanosia5]

its LOUD...i love my pearl....itl always be here as a backup phone

[halobignoob]

i got 8130

[Wazgud101]

Lol u just put a lot of finger prints

[RobbieCristina]

Turn Phone ON!!!!!!! Probably doesn't work!

[RnHproductions]

RolfLoshX3 i feel sorry for you

i would have to have pay and go HAHAHA

[whyareyousooofat]

not a bad review

[RolfLoshX3]

ive ordered my pearl and im just wondering how do i get internet on pay as you go?

[jldmurray13]

you have to call 611 than buy the plan which u can use for 30days

[diannanicholeecarr]

can u get those on a prepaid accout?

[jldmurray13]

you can buy one on e-bay and put your sim card in it and it will work

[SouljaSk8er]

okay im getting a new phone and i dont know what i should get

the pearl or the banter

like all i do is text...but i wanna be able 2 take good pics and vids..i wanna get this one but im still noit sure cuz some people say you get tired of the keyboard help?

[SnowLeopard2008]

blackberry has better camera and probably better video too. but for txting, the banter hands down.

[Deckardpr]

turn it ON!!!

[tomtomjordan]

omg turn the fucken phone off

[HalpertJim]

Can you check email on this phone?

[SnowLeopard2008]

yup, you just have to have the blackberry data plan

[AliyaWilliams]

need help my pearl has been dead for days nd it cuts on and says battery drained shuting down will it still charge if its cut off ???

[SnowLeopard2008]

yup, it will charge even if the blackberry is completely off (not just sleep or halfway off, but complete system shut down).

[Liogaf]

it happened to me too, you cant fix that yourself, what you need to do is take it to customer service and have the operative system upgrade and thats all it fixed mine hope this helps u good luck

[SnowLeopard2008]

lasts 3-4 days for me, but I use it very lightly. with heavy use and frequent texting, you're probably looking at 2-3 days.

[MisakiLeasim]

The LED indicator also shines blue when you are using, well... the bluetooth. Green is for coverage, red for messages or incoming calls, blue for bluetooth and all of them shine when you are recharging it while turned off. I love everything about this phone, but its camera. Pictures are really blurry. BB

[SnowLeopard2008]

thnx for clarifying that. i didn't know about the blue LED, always thought there was only red and green. :D

[nachitopolo]

WHere i can download applications?? like msn, facebook, themes etc

[SnowLeopard2008]

you need the install the latest update which includes App World. RIM makes it a PITA to download software updates.

[gtrplyr1970rr]

im probably getting one sometime next week.

[nachitopolo]

Can you tell me how can i put the green light to know if i have signal?

[SnowLeopard2008]

go look in the settings in the keyboard section.

[MisakiLeasim]

Options>Screen/Keyboard>LED Coverage Indicator On/Off

This is one great phone, but really hard to get used to.

[xChahine28x]

nice review.......I luv the black beryy!

[lilwayne1394]

can anyone tell me how to get the menu on the left side of screen please thank you!!

[SnowLeopard2008]

press the blackberry logo key. its the one right next to the scroll ball (left side).

[MJR5123]

this is such a mean phone... Im getting one in a couple of days

[Mutterjunge]

its nice one. the Curve is the exact same thing just wider with a full keyboard

[xfashi0nistghurlx]

how many cellphones do u have?

[SnowLeopard2008]

one. my friend broke my pearl and gave me money to buy my LG Cookie.

[carlyisflyy]

not all the time.

when i get it, its when i go from myspace to text messages.

[lis2010slp]

is it true that you have trouble deleting messages?? i keep hearing about that all the time

[SnowLeopard2008]

nope. well in the few months i had it, before someone broke it, i had no trouble deleting messages. a bit confusing, but not hard.

[MrCalabazaaa]

Don't forget these phones are for business phones. If you want special effects for your pictures, there is this crazy new invention called a Digital Camera.

[SnowLeopard2008]

who cares.. i barely use my phones camera anyway.

[ilvjackson]

I;m getting one i cant wait!!

[computernerd97]

me too!

[ttaakkuurr]

i broke mine 4 times

[carlyisflyy]

omg. The battery power is suckyy!

I charged my blackberry pearl all nightt!

and it went dead at light 5 at nightt.

lame!

the green light is when the phone is about to die.

[SnowLeopard2008]

nope, you're wrong. either you're a heavy user or you have a bad battery. mine lasts for 3-4 days on light use. maybe the charger isn't working properly?

[stupidswagg1000]

Sure does, does your phone give that busy symbol (the hour glass) all the time
