Blackberry Pearl Holsters........?

Question

I lost the black holster that came with my pearl and I'm thinking about getting some skins, and a new holster. Will the phone recognize the new holster for the "when in holster" setting?

Will it work the same as with the black one? I don't know if the black holster had a special chip or magnet in it for that feature.

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

The phone is pretty smart and will recognize pretty much any aftermarket holster you pick. I got one from Bestbuy and its great. Has the magnet leather strap and all. Easy to access and goes to standby when in the holster.

Answer 2

Press the "mute" button on the top of the phone when you are not using it. This activates a keyboard lock. If you get an incoming call or text, it will automatically unlock. To make an outgoing call or text (or to navigate the screen), press the "mute" button again. You will be guided by onscreen prompts.

Answer 3

Yep, it will recognize it.  Notice that if you have your pearl in your pocket, depending on the type of pocket, sometimes that pearl will think its in a holster.....

Answer 4

yes, it will work with any of the holsters... just make sure it has the magnet in it.  most of them don't
