Does any one have a blackberry pearl?

Question

by verizon

is it a good phone?

Answer 1

Yes, I have the Pink Pearl with Verizon.  I enjoy it and use it to the max.  My SO says its my "secretary" and yes, you could say so.  My day is planned with it from sun up to sun down.  My contacts are organized to a T!  I have groups set up, contacts categorized, emails, phone numbers and addressed....its a smart phone and I utilize every feature.

The down side FOR ME, is that my SO has a Curve, and I would like a more bulky look for my blackberry and Curve would be it, however, he looks at my Pearl and likes the sleakness of if.

Answer 2

It all depends on what you use your cell phone for mostly. I'm guessing you already like the way it looks. Here are some pros and cons and hopefully will help you decide.

Pros

- great support, warranty etc from both bb and hopefully Verizon also

- has all standard features (bluetooth, mms etc)

- great organizer like all blackberry's

- small size easy to use with 1 hand (exception of texting/typing)

- comes with headphones, usb etc, so you're pretty much good to go

- can use as mp3 player

Cons

- model has known software issues that occur randomly (but they can be fixed easily by yourself for free)

- the suretype keyboard is annoying for some people, but it's not very difficult to get used to

Overall, it's a great phone for regular users that don't need to much hi-tech stuff. Maybe complicated for some, much more then say a Motorola, so I would say play around with one at the store if anything, and see if you like the menus and keypad, buttons, camera etc.
