  Strengths: It is a good phone that you can check email on.

  Weaknesses:Its PDA functions are poor. This is the first phone I have had since 1996 that does not know when you enter a different time zone. You have to "tell" it which time zone it is in. Further, when you change time zones, ALL YOUR APPOINTMENTS CHANGE by the same number of hours!! This is a terrible software weakness that I never was told about until I bought the thing.

  Overall Evaluation: Fair at best, but generally poor. Easiest way to enter calendar data is to use Google Calendar, sych it with Outlook on you computer then sych the Blackberry with Outlook. The Blackberry has been way way oversold. Can not wait until I am due for an upgrade and I will ditche my Pearl.

  Strengths: Has a sleek, compact design and not wide like other PDA/Smartphones. The screen colors look very crisp and clear. The built-in themes/interfaces are actually designed really nice. I like how you can easily add other apps into it, i.e. Gmail, Google Maps, and much more. Battery life seems to be very good as well. The desktop manager is straightforward and easy to use, just drag, drop and copy files. However, I did wish RIM would've made a program with their desktop software to easily manage your address book. Camera is pretty good, also has flash to assist in darker situations. Music player is cool too. You can also put in an extra Micro SD card for more storage.

  Weaknesses:Trackball was weird at first, but got use to it. I like it now though. Haven't gotten scratches yet, but it does seem like it would be prone to getting them. Loudest ring volume doesn't seem loud enough. The settings for the alarm sucks, its too limited.

  Overall Evaluation: This phone is a really good buy. I did the contracting renewing of 2 years. I use to have a RAZR, and I will never buy a Motorola product again. I guess it's too early to tell, but the Blackberry Pearl seems to be built and designed very nicely to last long. It has all the cool basic features and it's especially excellent for messaging and checking email.

  Strengths: light weight

  Weaknesses:Not on straight talk wireless

  Overall Evaluation: My gf loves her pearl. At one point I was contemplating buying one myself, that was of course until i found out that this service did not work with straight talk wireless from Walmart. With straight talk i get a great price and its on the Verizon network!
