[breezy5099]

like if your watching this in 2011 :)

[mattybell567]

Rubbish phone 8520 !!!!

[The2010malik]

i hate the pearl

[dntlss]

im a guy that gives any product a chance,ive owned just about any phone out there,well one day i had this idea i needed to get a blackberry, bought it brand new in the box,first off it had that famous problem where the voice recognizer would come on on its own and it wouldnt let me do anything else, then it lost its entire program, this all happened hours after i bought it, not days or months,maybe i just got a bad one, who knows.

[hungarianasskicker]

freaking hate this phone. do not buy it

[Dusty853]

@MsCountrygal18 But teenagers grew up with amazing technology I am 13 and I can change the setting so easily its unbelivable!

[yyyyyy158]

i have this one, but it freezes like 5 times a fuckin day!!

[Evanforevertill2012]

um my razr v3 was made in 2001-2003 yet you can look at photos and play music AT THE SAME TIME unlike the pearl , which was made in 2006 , ummm RIM ?

[Dusty853]

This is the phone I am geting in 6 days I must do a review ;)

[EEKSPLEE]

Is the keyboard still as crappy as that on the newer 3G models?

[MusclesfromB]

fucking hate the fact that the headphone jack is on the side

[shortcutdanne]

how the fuck are u gonna listen to music if the headphone jack is on the side?

[yumyumkidd]

do you have a speaking problems because u space out every word

[carzmine9]

Wat on about ??!

[MokongHn]

ADICT

[carzmine9]

It has a roller-ball as-appose-to a trackpad and I don't particularly like the way the keys shift around a lot...

[TheCalvertz]

@MsCountrygal18 Okay, sorry

[TheCalvertz]

@MsCountrygal18 Sorry but, since when have older people being able to use phones as well as teenagers? Teenagers statistically know waay more about how to use phones than most adults. :L

[harddawg2486]

Is this a robot?

[singhisking97]

@fishyfingers555. Yes, i hav the same blackberry

[fishyfingers555]

Does it have BBM (Blackberry Messenger) ?

[BlackberryThe2010]

@fishyfingers555 All BlackBerrys, including the Pearl, have BBM.

[HeyLookItsAdam]

you talk like mr rogers on meth.

[printhairs]

mines easy to use

[callmemarc]

Ah 2006, when Blackberries weren't 5 years out of date

[unlock4all]

MISOPHONES●COM

Unlocking ur Phone #OMG

[AdamSaleeem26]

@mrjedidude Yessur. What phone do you have then?

[twilightlover410]

ewww it was so ugly back then!

now it's sooo much nicerr <3

[AdamSaleeem26]

@mrjedidude Yeah... I did. So what? Now i have an iPhone 4 and a Samsung Galaxy S.

[allc1001]

fock blackberry oldd  -_-

[roxi1adi]

hey can u PLZZ make a vide on how to take off auto text MY DAD NEEDS HELP ON THAT!

[intupspaturken]

i enjoyed this phone but it took so long to boot up

[pattycarljackson]

@intupspaturken all blackberries take long to boot up everyone knowes that and most people dont take the battery out cause they are always using it so why would need to always reboot it

[weezyfan25]

is the headpohne jack 3.5mm or 2.5mm?

[phantomf41]

@weezyfan25 its less than 3.5 i mean i cant use the same headphone using on my laptop to connect to this phone. So i guess its 2.5. thats a downfall for me.

[suckit123now]

juanma112 i was gonna get this phone but instead i got the blackberry pearl flip because i new i was gonne regret it so my advice to you is to get a newwer model :)

[juanma9112]

is this phone worth to buy 2 years after it came out? i mean can i buy it today and feel satisfied about it? :)

[randyd619]

I got this phone but i broke it and i can't find back the memory stick and battery or the back cover and also the charger but i don't care im getting a blackberry tourch next week

[micklfc2008]

get the blackberry curve 8900

[milivoje922]

how do you turn the short type off i want to type normal sms messages i dont want the phone to give me possible words

[AdamSaleeem26]

i had a this phone 3 years ago. When i was 11. I dont see what the big deal was....

[itsmeCobi]

I agree that 13 year olds shouldn't have a BB, but it depends if they know alot about tech, and will actually use it properly with the features. If they don't they can get a Samsung QWERTY :L

[786dillz]

teens dnt rlly care all dey want is bbm

[ilieklolcatz]

@MsCountrygal18 Clearly, teenagers are hopeless when it comes to technology. They will never figure out how to change settings on them fancy Blackberry phones without help and supervision provided by the more more tech-savvy adult population.

[fingersk8r462]

@ilieklolcatz I can.

[ilieklolcatz]

@fingersk8r462 On the other hand... Maybe I overestimated our youth's intelligence.

[fingersk8r462]

@ilieklolcatz You must know some dumb kids.

[50dmxangel]

You sound like Perez Hilton?

[56tanesha]

are all the comments stupid and petty or are they people actually talking about the phone features?

[reedwa1998]

Blackberry pearl own

[sosforever]

[MARCUO]

[JamieLovesGirls19]

[Juan957]

i want that blackberry but i dont know write normal how i can put the normal write and dont have querty i want it beacuse its cheaper

[PossiblePoison]

That is the worst GUI I have seen in my life. Shame on t-mobile!

[spartan117024]

how do you turn off the autotext off? its annoying ... i want it to where i press a key and only one letter appears ... not a whole word .... and when you press it again another letter appears

[lrajitol]

And i'm twelve and i have the bb bold 9700 ;)

[neecee401100]

[defygravityy]

[valeria00017]

[IhateLegg]

Woww, I can't believe how many hate comments I'm getting...all because of a mobile device.

[riderfan4]

[skaterdudehunter113]

How do you get the keypad to not make noise at all?

[usernameunadvailable]

@CathleenGray lol its like"uhhhhh wtf" lolz

[jegs41x]

I hate this Blacberry it frezzes all the time

[Chocolate2Thunda]

@jegs41x i know mine duz too so i always take the battery out so it restarts...soon im gettin an iphone(:

[Tintamar5678]

@Chocolate2Thunda Do you have a lot of Apps installed? If you do it will cause this phone to freeze a lot. Try deleting some apps you don't use.

[Chocolate2Thunda]

@Tintamar5678 i only have 2 apps and they are Pandora and Facebook.

[Tintamar5678]

@jegs41x If you add to many applications it will freeze like crazy I've noticed. If i only have a few extra apps installed its not to bad. Overall the phone just sucks though lol

[DreamsofMajesty]

scribd (dot) com/nb812

[EthanDta]

[TomJackson986]

[SteezeBucketFilms]

yeahh, i do :P

[erikbaby100]

im 15 just got a blackberry pearl would it be better to change it for a curve or bold

[PoloBoyPrince]

yessssssssss

[MusicGeekBaby]

bold 9700

[Xstormraider]

8310 is better.

[mizerx]

this phone sucks i have the curve and it is wayyyy better than this peice of guk

no full keyboard or anything that sucks

[Britannic1915]

Is ok to text on? I want this or a Curve... but this is cheaper on other websites so... is it easy to text on? (for a 13 year old)

[wannarumblechica]

@Britannic1915 the curve is alot easier to text on

[IhateLegg]

13 year-olds shouldn't have blackberrys...and this is coming from a 13 year-old. You'll look like a total douche. Just saying dude.

[Wassups1]

@IhateLegg you know, i sorta agree with you. But you know kids these days. They want the GOOD phones. Not the basics. It sucks them in with the keyboard, and the sexy designs. Some of the features are awesome! but they force you to have a data plan, which alot of parents WOULD NOT LIKE TO PAY. I mean, your parents will not want u in the internet all day on your phone or in school.

What im trying to say here - is that kids want GOOD AND COOL phones :D

[HyperkidZero]

@IhateLegg I have a Blackberry and im 13 and i dont look like a 'douche' its just a phone...

[GreenTeaGringo]

@IhateLegg just because other kids don't have a blackberry, doesn't mean it's a bad thing to have one.

[IhateLegg]

@GreenTeaGringo Blackberries are mostly used for business. It's a waste for a kid to have a phone that has technology for business users. Let them have phones like EnV's, Chocolates, etc. NOT Blackberries. So, I'm basically saying kids don't need a phone like a Blackberry unless they own a major corporal business, which is highly doubtful they ever will.

[HeIIoFascination]

@IhateLegg yeah. they dont... NEEED one. ;) doesnt mean I cant Have one :P

[HeIIoFascination]

@IhateLegg no one NEEEEDSS good phones. its typical for a teenager to WANT a good phone.

[GreenTeaGringo]

@IhateLegg What does a blackberry have that normal smart phones don't have? How are they designed for business? As far as I can tell they are just mobile phones like any others.

[IhateLegg]

@GreenTeaGringo Woww, I'm not going to even argue anymore. Look at us, debating about a stupid phone. There, you win. :/ Don't you feel so special?

[JonasJonasFan2]

@IhateLegg My dad got a used blackberry peral from work... and i got it (a 13 year old) I dont get to use any of the apps... but i get to text n' call. I lost my env2...i like this one the same. But i have the 2009 one.

[JonasJonasFan2]

@IhateLegg *2007

[Designermaniac]

@IhateLegg im 10 and i have a blackberry

[IhateLegg]

@Designermaniac good for you.

[Lkr721993]

@Designermaniac

do you call your mom on it all day?

[Designermaniac]

@Lkr721993 no i use it to make people like u shut the hell up

[g2499867]

@IhateLegg in what way?

[neecee401100]

@IhateLegg I don't think it should matter.

[dylanfer6]

@IhateLegg shut the fuck up i have a blackberry and itss fuckkkingggg awseeooommemememmmemmemeememem­mem

[IhateLegg]

@dylanfer6 Haha, whatever. It really isn't a big deal. It was just my opinion. So enjoy your 'fuckkkinggg awseeooommemememememememmmemem­ee" Blackberry, because honestly, I really don't care about you or your stupid phone.

(:

[jammedfinga]

@IhateLegg dude i just saw like 9th graders with those HTC phones im like wtf i dont even have one i dont have a phone preiod and im gona be a senior....

[dylanfer6]

@jammedfinga probably because ur fucking poor dumbass

[jammedfinga]

@dylanfer6 no its cuz my parents have shit to pay for! the other parents just got money i dont hav fuckin money i at least got a car to drive to school

[YYOUTUB33]

13 yr olds shud have bb's u just jelous u never had one when u were 13@IhateLegg

[Designermaniac]

@IhateLegg Im 12 and i have a blackberry curve

[WWErightPlace]

@IhateLegg i am 12 and i have the bold 9700 <<

[IhateLegg]

@WWErightPlace

That's coooooool.

[ThePrimetech]

@IhateLegg @MsCountrygal18 If you're stupid or wanna be hip, use an iPhone.

[492333]

@ThePrimetech

i honesty believe, for some reason, using an iPhone brings ur IQ down

[ChrisEllerbeck]

@IhateLegg good because im 14!

[IhateLegg]

@ChrisEllerbeck haha, me too :D

[pandabear8806]

@Britannic1915 i have had both and i actually prefered my pearl, matter of fact i just ordered another one online because i switched carriers and I MISS my crackberry, lol.

[delliswierd]

@Britannic1915 YES

[Dusty853]

@Britannic1915 yes it is amazing it has auto text witch takes like a short amount of time to get use to but after it rocks :) I am 13 to and I got one and it works great

[ecoseee]

[gelboy089547]

Would any recommend getting this phone even with the keyboard issue? I am thinking of buying it online...

[diaconofrost124]

[DirtyWheels89]

[Bree100tv]

[bladeinass]

@Bree100tv Lie my sisters fell in the toilet and got owned

[Marcialyn1]

Any suggestion about removing dust that has appeared under the screen's lens? Remove the 2 screws at the top from the interior of the battery side?

[Marcialyn1]

Thanks for info on a phone I have been using for a few years. I had no idea about some of these features...THANK YOU!

[redsoxnation1919]

review sucks

[CecilWardenso]

BlackBerry Bold for free at Gifter7(.)com. It is your lucky day! nice video...

[MzCloey16]

why do cell phones have cameras now?

[whhhhite]

because people want the convenience of a camera in your phone so you do not have to carry around 2 items (cellphone and camera)

[mo4life123]

@MzCloey16 so people like hannah montana can show us nice pics?

[BrandonTheBMXer2011]

So I am going to do a little update here. If you update your pearl to 4.5 you can view photos while listening to music. It also supports shuffle and by holding the volume button from any screen it will go to the next or previous song. Many say there is no way to color the trackball from 4.5 but there is still apps to color your trackball. Pictures on the phone appear to be decent quality but e-mail them to a desktop or laptop computer and you truly see how great the camera is.

[bepeboy1985]

@BrandonTheBMXer2011 what res is the camera? the ones on sale here in the uk say its only 1.3megapixel and if im honest this is putting me off buying it as i use the camera quite a lot on my cybershot c902 now, and i cant see how the 1.3mp camera looks good on the laptop.... anyway, thanks for your help, peace, matty :)

bugger this video - Blackberry pearls are awesome, even though there is a horrible tiny keyboard in the middle

[greeningyouth]

i just got my blackberry pearl. i can't wait now! i mean, there are some cons,but the phone seems cool. hopefully this is more durable than the motorolla Razor.i heard blackberries are strong.i hope so.

[tromissat]

I think the blackberry pearl is a very good phone but i dont like it because of the keyboard.

[diablo9333]

My mom got one today accept from Fido

[tyedye67]

4 days without charging? Please. A day if you're conservative.

[diablo9333]

No it is true. My mom got one today recommended by someone who had a blackberry at wal-mart. They showed us her battery and it was a little less than half and she leaves it on all day(person who told my mom) and hasn't charged it for 2 days!!
