I have had this phone for less than a week and I absolutely love it. It totally nails the three things that I need in a phone: 1) text messaging, 2) email and 3) phone. I thought that losing the side scroll wheel might be an issue, but the new trackball design is a much more efficient.

I purchased my Blackberry Pearl in October.  It is a great little phone and has many capabilities that I love (internet browsing, multiple email account setup, etc). 

 One thing that I have had major problems with on this phone is that the screen keeps going completely white for hours at a time and...

In all of it's accessory functions, the BlackBerry performs like a champ.  It can handle multiple email accounts, and the keyboard is great for the now obligatory text messaging that comes your way.  Saving data, and receiving incoming attachments, terrific.  Sending attachments, very good.  Videos, great.  Searching the web......well, it's OK, sometimes tough to read, but where it really lacks for me is the notification that I have an unheard voice mail.  Sometimes the notification turns up the next day after my phone automatically comes alive again after shutting off the night before. ...

This phone is great! It is easy to use and navigate and meets all of my needs! As someone who is in constant need of communication and data usage on my phone, I am very satisfied with my service and my ability to have my needs met. I use this phone to keep in communication with my workplace, as well as my family while I am on vacations and business trips.

This phone has all you could need (except a camera!)!!! The GPS is kickin! Telenav is the BEST, and I am so terrible with directions! I load my destination and go! The directions are sent to your phone and even if you are in the middle of nowhere with NO signal, you still have your turn by turn voice directions telling you where to go and how to get there!!! The Blackberry is loaded with features and options! I can't say enough good things about it! Trust me! It's an awesome phone! I know Blackberry has some never versions, but if you can live without a camera, this phone is the ticket!

I love that I can set up to 11 emai accounts. I currently have my work, yahoo and hotmail email accounts set up as regular icons. Since blackberry works with the pust technology, you only have to set up your email once and then you will get notified every time you have a new email, just like the text messaging system. Also is good with web browsing and the keyboard allows me to type very fast. It's a very stable system, it hardly ever crashes or freezes up. In a few words, I love it and it keeps me in track with the calendar/appointments options. It's a great phone.

i need a phone for work that does it all...and this delivers. it's great for email, messaging and phone calls. it has bluetooth which is great for all of the driving i do for work. i travel a lot for work and am constantly on the go...not that i recommend this but i've dropped this phone numerous times (including briefly in the tub) and it is still working great! i would definitely say this is a good choice for the business person who doesn't have the option to not be a phone person.

I've had a great experience with the phone, no freezing or problems with updates. Great reception and relatively ergonomic typing setup compared to other phones. Internet is fast, used it in Greece and had no problems. Email was great on personal and with corporate exchange server. Sturdy enough although there are some chunks missing from mine due to dropping/throwing/scratching. No problems with functionality. Speaker phone is good quality too.

This phone is an all in one stop. I rate it better than than the iphone. I have had every blackberry since they first arrived on the scene and this is by far my favorite. It has a full key board, ring tones, speakerphone, email, BBM, the only thing it does lack is a camera...but honestly how many people really use the cameras on their phone...Take a picture on a camera and send it to your blackberry :) Good Luck with your shoppin.

The phone is great for people on the go.  The email capability is wonderful.  The mixture seems right.  A strong signal is available in areas where I had problems with my old cell phone.

My only beef with the product is the key size.  For a guy with short finger nails, I have to spend time typing the messages.

This phone/traveling computer is phenominal. I'm on the go traveling 4 out of 5 days a week, and I can keep up with emails and office work really well with this tool. Downs is that it is a little costly on the front end, but the rewards have been well worth it to stay on top of business! Highly recommend it!

I have a Blackberry 8800 series and I just love it.  Takes good pictures and the speaker phone is nice and loud. Battery life is pretty good also, unless you have the bluetooth on, when using the bluetooth the battery wears out fast.

I really do like the Blackberry. However I have the version that does not have a camera phone. My cell phone provider does not offer a camera on their Blackberry products. Other than that I really love the phone. Very upscale and sleek.
