I have had the Blackberry Pearl 8130 for two months now and love it. It's great for everyone from a busy executive to a student. The camera takes fantastic pictures. There are lots of free applications and a ton of options which you can purchase from your provider for a reasonable price. It takes a little while to get used to texting on this if you are used to T9 but the phone is great at detecting what you are trying to spell.
There isn't a whole lot of memory on the phone though, so if you plan to store a lot of music or photos you should consider purchasing an SD card. Compatible cards come in 2GB, 4GB and 8GB and sell for under $20. There also aren't a lot of ringtones to pick from. The ones that come with the phone are kind of lame, but again, you can purchase a plethora from your provier for a reasonable amount.
Overall, this is an easy to use, fast smart phone and I recommend it to anyone who wants to be connected to the web, have GPS capability and other great features.
