Quick take: It's no secret that Cingular would get its own version of the RIM BlackBerry Pearl, since it was announced at the fall CTIA 2006 show. Now, it's officially available through the carrier for $199.99 with a two-year contract and after rebates. I

BlackBerry RIM 8100 Pearl

by Online Shopper

Comments:
The BlackBerry Pearl 8100 smart phone is one of the world's smallest smart phones and packs all of the power of BlackBerry. It comes complete with digital camera, multimedia capabilities and expandable memory. And it offers users everything else they woul

Review Verdict: The Pearl is a very normal looking bar shaped phone if you overlook the two extra columns on the keypad and the trackball where the d-pad or joystick typically would be. The device is clad in a piano black gloss finish that appears to be pretty scratch re

QuickTake:

Pros: The RIM BlackBerry Pearl is the first BlackBerry to offer a 1.3-megapixel camera, music and video playback, expandable memory, and a mapping application. The supersleek phone also continues to offer superior push e-mail capabilities, EDGE support, and Blu

Cons: The RIM BlackBerry Pearl's microSD slot is inconveniently located behind the battery, and call quality was subpar in our tests. The phone's camera doesn't record video, and we wish there were external controls for the music player and integrated Wi-Fi.

RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8100

by Dave Stephenson

Comments:
A great piece of hardware, backed up by BlackBerry's legendary services.

Review Verdict: The QWERTY keyboard of chunkier BlackBerry devices such as the 8700g (June 2006, page 61) is gone, and some won't find the Pearl's SureType keyboard any faster than using a standard T9 mobile phone. It's fine for short emails, but writing more than a doze
