Blackberry Pearl Question?

Question

Hi! I've had the samsung d907 cell phone for about two years and i love it, good pictures, great service, everything. I would like to upgrade my phone now, so I was looking at the BlackBerry Pearl 8110... Does anyone out there have that phone?! What do you think of it? Good pic quality? Is the quality of the phone calls good? And, if I get a BlackBerry, do I have to add any special add ons to my plan? Right now I just have the basic $39.99 with the $5 dollar messaging! Thanks everyone!!! =)

Answer 1

I have the Blackberry Pearl 8110.  I purchased it the day they came out.  Picture quality is not good.  I never use the photos since they are so poor.  The biggest problem that I had is the "pearl".  It stopped working about a year after I bought it. If you keep it in your pocket, it will pick up dust and lint.  The ball clogs and doesn't scroll anymore.  Luckily I was still under the 1 year warranty and they replaced the phone with a refurbished one.  I like it because it is small, light, and is easy to use the keyboard for texting purposes.  It has a lot of nice features such as voice recognition/dialing.  Hope this helps.

I really have enjoyed my Pearl. The picture quality is not good, however. The phone call quality is excellent. There is a Blackberry Data Package that you must add which is $30.00 a month with AT&T. It will give you unlimited text and internet. I suggest purchasing this package because the Pearl is really pointless without it. Another good thing about the Pearl is that it comes in several different colors. Hope this helps!!!

I am using the Pearl 8120 which is a similar device, however I use T-Mobile service. The call quality is good on my device, as is the quality of the pictures (as long as there is lots of natural light around).

If you get a BlackBerry you might have to get the BlackBerry data plan, which is an extra $30 per month typically.
