Blackberry - Pearl Smartphone Cell Phone Review

This is the second blackberry I have owned, and a step up from previous versions. On the positive side, this phone is smaller, has a camera, and also can be used to store music. It has the same blackberry features as previous versions. Battery life seems to be longer than my previous phone and it uses the same battery as my old blackberry, so I now carry around a spare battery. This is great for 2-3 day business trips, as I do not need to carry around the charger and worry about leaving it in a hotel room by accident.

On the negative side, the smaller phone means that the keypad is smaller. This makes texting a little bit harder. The phone also does not have a built in spell check for e-mail. This is a major negative.

The final negative is that the screen size is small. This is a great phone until you compare it to an iphone - which has a huge screen and is truly innovative. Unfortunately, my work e-mail doesn't support the iphone, so we are all crackberry addicts.
