Blackberry - Pearl 8130 Cell Phone Reviews

The Blackberry Pearl 8130 is a fantastic, intuitive smartphone.

There are many free applications available, including apps tailored for use with social networking sites, games, and easy access to important digital documents.

The BB browser is very easy to use, and most plans offered with the Blackberry give you the freedom to make use of this phone without breaking the bank.

Easy to hold, slender, and a custom dictionary make texting easier than the average cell phone. It has a MicroSD slot to expand memory. The QWERTY keyboard takes a couple days to get used to, but with the custom dictionary,...

My Blackberry Pearl has become indispensible in my every day life. It has the everyday phone functions of placing and receiving phone calls, local, national and international. I have voice mail, caller id, call waiting, three way calling, and speakerphone, which are standard features.  My calendar keeps my daily schedule as well as my appointments and my families appointments.  My phone numbers, e mail addresses, street addresses, work addresses and phone numbers, birthdays and web sites are kept in my contacts.  Not only do I have GPS, but I also have a street map application, so I seldom...

I liked this phone a lot at the beginning.  It was quick and flexible and the SureType was a lot more usable than the the T9En of my old phone. The phone itself has excellent reception which comes in handy when in the woods. Also, it stands up to wear pretty well. Mind you I kept it reasonably protected (ziplock bag in my clothing bag), but it made it my whole thru-hike on the appalachian trail. Impressive considering I didn't buy it for durability. It was submitted to a lot of heat, moisture and cold. The moisture had the biggest impact as my track ball light went out but has come back dim. All...

Before getting this phone, I used to have an LG flip phone.  It was an okay phone for texting friends, making phone calls, and receiving calls.  Unfortunately, this phone did not satisfy all of my needs.  I was not able to receive emails.  I could only access the Internet for a limited time and at a set fee.  Needless, to say I was not entirely happy with that phone and wanted to get a BlackBerry for some time.  I was beyond ecstatic and overjoyed when I finally received a BlackBerry Pearl Smartphone.  Now, I am able to access the Internet from any location.  I can send and receive emails...

I got my Blackberry Pearl 8130 in February 2009 and I have never been disappointed by its versatility. It came with so many applications that I have found useful and it has many amazing capabilities such as a 2 megapixel camera, camcorder, voice dialing, and even wi-fi that I use instead of paying for an internet package. There are also lots of applications available online, many of them free if you look hard enough, that you can add to the phone to further enhance its features. I have even downloaded a streaming radio application that allows the user to listen to radio stations from around the...

The Blackberry Pearl 8130 is so easy to use and convenient.  I store all of my pictures, videos and notes on my various applications.  I can access the internet quickly to catch up on the lastest news or sports updates.  It's sleek and compact and fits easily in any purse I use.  Not only can I text but I can send emails right from my phone...how cool is that?  When I go to the gym, I simply plug in my headphones and access any music application and I'm jammin' to the last hits while getting my exercise.  In addition to music, I can access games for moments when waiting is too much to bear...

My blackberry pearl is the best phone I have had in the entire ten years I have owned a cell phone.  It allows me to stay up to date, stay in communication with everyone and everything, and stay organized and focused.  I am able to receive my emails, texts, pictures and phone call in one place.  I don't have to worry about staying near my computer when awaiting an important email, and I don't have to stay connected to a palm pilot to stay in the know with my calendar.  I received this phone for mothers day last year, so going on a year with the same phone, and that's a record for me.  I used...

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...

Blackberry Pearl 8130. This phone is more than just a phone. It is my lifeline to the world. It allows me to check my email and reply to it; anytime of the day or night. Also, I can update my Facebook status and check all fo my friends whenever I feel the urge.

If I'm driving, I have the GPS function always ready to go.

It comes in a variety of colors. For girls, women, or Breast Cancer Research Advocates it comes in Pink. Yes, Pink. Of course mine is Pink.

The removable storage disk is great for transferring pictures from my computer to my phone, or vice versa. I love take pictures of all my dogs....

I have had my Blackberry Pearl for 2 years now and its my first experience with a smart phone.  I really like having my Outlook features available along with my email and internet.  I like the size of the phone although I think the smaller keyboard on the phone makes texting labor intensive.  I would like to upgrade to the Curve model when my current contract is up for renewal.

When I first got this phone, I was surprised to learn that I needed to purchase several applications to be able to view simple email messages.  I thought it would work out of the box.

This blackberry is odd. I use it and then it stop letting me dial numbers.

I have insurance on it but I have not had time to have it check out.

It works and then stops.

I love this smartphone.  Been using it about 9 months and I can't live without it.  Although data plan expensive I wouldn't choose anything better.
