BlackBerry Pearl in 6 Minutes

[masterpsychosis]

I have a question, how much can the smartphone "expand to" is it ONE gig or TWO gigs microSD???? I know the internal memory is 64mb...anyway.... anybody that has the phone can you tell me.

[nosol]

the SureType looks very difficult to use especially if you type a lot of terms generally not in use (like medical terms). also, if you want to type in another language -- forget it!!!

[indy9]

Did the URL work for anyone?

[showera]

aah sorry, correction! my 4gb card holds roughly 1000 songs, not 100!

[HatelivesNextDoor]

if you must a shadow is probably the better way to go. but better than that if you can afford them are the nokia 9500, Nokia n95, Nokia e90, htc touch, and pretty much any eten glofiish but thats just a personal opinion. anyway hope i helped

[avlj23]

yoo! help! i got the desktop manager, how the **** do i transfer songs and picz from my laptop to my blackberry pearl?? i pressed the arrowz to transfer but it dont work..?

[UKSkaterstar07]

can you set custom ring tones?

[avlj23]

my dads getting it, gonna get shipped 2morrow morning!!

[vanessaOMGxoxoxo]

is this somewhat the same as the verizon version?

[dfiendspirits]

I was looking for "cool" videos, when this came up!

Pretty Cool!

[dr1kidluis]

im getting a t-mobile phone soon. should i get the t-mobile shadow or the blackberry pearl??

[laxkid227]

pearl all day

[Kbrian1077]

Which is better the Pearl Blackberry or the Shadow?

[gamezb2013]

Is the Pearl a good phone overall?

[avlj23]

Yes, definately!

[SoCuteNY]

Can you download MP3s and use them for ringtones?

[avlj23]

Yes.

[mskhristine]

YES =)!!!!!! but obviously it's not gonna play the entire song since your phone wont ring for 3 mins

[gamezb2013]

Is it easy to type on the keyboard wven though there are two letters on each key?

[PierreKhawand]

You get used to it. But if you do a lot of typing, it may not be ideal for you!

[mskhristine]

yes it's easy.......especially with autotext.......i had the nokia 6822 with the full keyboard....and i was impressed how easy it was for me to get to use this one! that scroll ball helps alot w/ the texting too!!

[sujith320]

iphone is better :P

[kevnca]

the iphone is not a great business phone, i.e. there is no central management (aka Blackberry Server)

[wangxiaochao110]

i love bb

mine is t-mobile 7105t

i`m loving it

[gamerguy765]

thanks for the vid, really helps me know if i want the phone or not. i will be getting this phone pretty soon. do you have any idea how people are doing the color changing trackwheel?

[kaylavy]

Pearl is slow when you switch application....sux.

[24SHINA24]

How can i download flash player on my blackberry b/c it keeps telling me that the "entity is too large" and i want to see youtube videos on my blackberry for free

[EpicXcRacer]

do you have any other video reviews?

visuals help me out a lot, i just bought a pearl, thanks for the review.

cool accent, btw

[PierreKhawand]

Thanks for your note. Yes, we have many new reviews that will be posted in the next few weeks. If you would like to you can subscirbe to our mailing list at the people-onthego website

[bakap]

can we call our friend's PC using yahoo mesenger or skype with this blackberry pearl?

[surewhyhi]

which is better t-mobile wing or the pearl

[PierreKhawand]

I haven't looked at the wing yet. If you end up looking at it soon, feel free to post your comments about it here or on the 81-day-experiment blog.

[surewhyhi]

just ordered mine, will be here by wednesday

[PierreKhawand]

Congratulations and good luck in getting it up and running and optimized. Once you're ready, feel free to submit a case study for the 81-day-experiment blog. You can see sample case studies at the 81-day-experiment blog.

[garethooper]

I am looking for the Theme that is used on this Handheld. I had it at some point and cannot find it...Want it back, anyone know where I can find?

[Burns401]

One of the more useful applications for the Blackberry is Beyond411. The "Yellow Pages" search gives the phone number, address, and even a Mapquest capabilities (with or without GPS). It also has "White Pages", and even makes finding the Weather and Movies of your area easy to find.

[llama3aterr]

do you think its worth buying?

[capitalm101]

very good.. im gonna buy it!

[agustaf4s]

great video 100/100

[KittyNKM]

Because you have opened this... you will get kissed on the nearest possible Friday by the love of your life... if you don't break the chain. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life. However, if you don't send this to at least 10 people by the stroke of midnight tonight you will be forever cursed in love. Just copy and paste this.. Good Luck!

[shanas1991]

Hi i really like the look of this phone but i have looked around and most websites don't clearly tell me whether it has a mp3 player,'SO DOES IT HAVE AN MP3 PLAYER' ?????

[PierreKhawand]

Yes, the Pearl has a media application that lets you upload and play music!

[dav08zxc]

how and where do you get music into it? exactly how did you do it?

[PierreKhawand]

The BlackBerry Desktop Manager (which is on the CD that comes with the BlackBerry can synchronize music from your hard drive to the Pearl). Good luck!

[showera]

the pearl is awesome! you can buy extra media cards to store more music. i bought a 4gb card for my pearl and i can hold about 100 songs on here. i definitely recommend the pearl for anybody out there... very cool

[napogomez87]

does it work with mac os x

[PierreKhawand]

Yes it does work with the mac, but you need to order a 3rd party add-on application. Good luck!

[jboymagic927]

i had 2 of those i the mda over that phone even if its smaller

[blownbyboost]

this is a HUGE improvement from the bb's of years ago once your learn to nagivate a bb they are very easy and you will become a crackberry addict.

[michupaz]

iPhone wannabe

[MarkTheMarc]

this phone came out before apple told the public about the iphone

nevertheless the iphone is still awesome :D

i have the white phone and its a great phone to have or use for ppl who arent the hardcore office ppl

[lilsccr]

How do you get that theam in the begining? My blackberry is really confusing,(pearl)

[Burns401]

In the Menu, go to Options, then Theme; you can download different Themes from the internet. The AT&T Theme sucks, I would suggest BB Dimensions Today Plus.

[XxVideoXkidxX]

Im thinking of purchasing this phone, and this review

covers much of what I'll need to know. Thanks for posting.

[Ankitvkc]

wacht out this balckberry indian commercial

[PierreKhawand]

I watched the blackberry commercial, and it is very nicely done. Thanks for letting me know about it.

[raidentheninja]

does the blackberry pearl has MP3 player?

is this phone capable of running windows mobile?

[crazyconceptscorp]

no, only "windows mobile" phones can run "windows mobile"

[BabiBlonde]

this phone is for cingular right?

[PierreKhawand]

Yes, Cingular has released their version of the BlackBerry Pearl. T-Mobile also support the BlackBerry Pearl. Good luck.

[Adam32191]

but the phone that u just reviewed was for cingular?

[video500]

Very good. Just what I was looking for in youtube. Every hardware should have an overview like this one.

[andre3k1]

GREAT REVIEW!

(or more like overview)

for some reason blackberries never appeal to me because of the lack of graphics...hopefully one day theyll change
