BlackBerry Pearl in 6 Minutes

After the 81-day-experiment and after using the Treo 700p, Treo 700w, Motorola Q, and BlackBerry Pearl, T-Mobile MDA, BlackBerry 8700, Nokia E62, Cingular 3125, and T-Mobile Dash, for 9 days each, Pierre Khawand, founder of People-OnTheGo, releases the BlackBerry Pearl review in a 6 minute video.

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!

[EpicXcRacer]

[PierreKhawand]

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

[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!!

[mskhristine]

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

[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!!!

[kevnca]

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

[indy9]

Did the URL work for anyone?

[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

[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]
