I always wanted a Blackberry.  I have one now and I have to say that there are many features that I don't use.  I am a busy person but unless you have a use for staying connected with business I would say that this phone is overhyped.  It has a very poor quality construction.  It is made of very...

I had a Blackberry Pearl for two years. For the first 6 months I had many glitches. The phone would drop calls and often would sign onto other networks so I was unable to get voice messages or phone calls. I called customer service several times and they didn't know what was wrong with it. Finally after...

This is the complete package...with wifi and great internet and email access, it's my pc away from home. I was never a fan of the original pearl but the 8120 is really awesome and I doubt I will ever use anything else now other than updated blackberry's. It has great reception and always clear on calls. The camera is great, pic's come out clear. Battery has tendency to run down fast but I recommend a backup batt and turning odd wifi when not in use. I am recommending this phone to everyone!!! The RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8120 brings integrated Wi-Fi and works with T-Mobile's HotSpot@Home service. The...

After having used the Blackberry Pearl 8120 for a couple of weeks, I find it to be a very good phone with a lot of useful features. Despite what AT&T tries to tell you, it is possible to use the Wifi without the data plan, and despite the small screen, it is helpful to have access to the net sometimes when you're out and about and within reach of a wifi hotspot. Apparently, though, it is required to subscribe to the data plan to use the GPS feature, in addition to having to buy a GPS unit to pair it to, and then to download Blackberry maps directly to the phone (Windows only, no Mac). Reception...

When it comes to deciding which cell phone to purchase, it's easy to become overwhelmed with all of the choices out there. When I went to purchase my new phone, my top three choices were the Blackberry Pearl, the Google Phone and the iPhone. I decided that the Blackberry Pearl was all I really needed. I like the small, compact form of the phone. Being a smartphone, it keeps me up-to-date on everything I need, including e-mail, Facebook, various instant-messaging platforms, text and picture messages and voice-overs. I never feel that I made a wrong decision or envy other phones. I'm content with...

While the phone isn't nearly as good as the Blackberry Curve, or Bold, it is a good in-between. It's missing GPS, but it can get mapquest and google directions in a breeze.  One of the nicer things when compared to the other two, is that it has "smart texting" it will literally guess what oyu're trying to type, remembering your frequently used words. Also, the message box groups conversations together so there's no inbox or outbox. E-mails for up to 10 address are sent to your message as well, if you set up you e-mail on your phone ((it's extremely convinient)). It is also smaller and lighter... read full review »

The Blackberry 8120 is a very sleek phone that allows you to add applications making it even more fun than it already is. I've had my phone for about a year now and I absolutely love it! I go everywhere with my blackberry because it has everything I need in it. Its memory is quite large compared to other phones I've used and the pictures and music come out great. Overall I've seen no serious cons with the blackberry yet. I hope yours gives you the same satisfaction that mine gave me!

I have had my phone about 3 months now and can honestly say it is the best phone I have ever had. I love the internet that it comes with, plus it has wifi; and I love the map that it comes with but I wish it was GPS (which that is available). I had the 8100 and I love the fact that the 8120 has the video recorder and it takes excellent pictures. The only bad thing that I can say about the phone is it doesn't have enough memory but you can put a memory card in it.

I definitely like this phone, but it seems so archaic. After seeing what the iPhone can do, I paid the same price for something that does A LOT less. It's difficult when trying to find simple things like changing the ring tone or tunring certain things off and on. My only regret is that I didn't exchange it for the iPhone when I had the chance.

I have always heard great things about the blackberry phone.  My boy friend had ne when they first came out and he had a lot of problems with the phone. They had to replace his phone before 6 months pass. The battery life was bad.

When texting, you need to double check what you're writing, before you notice it, it changed the whole word.
