BlackBerry Pearl 8130 Pink

Do you want to own a powerful phone that is weightless? If so, you should go for the BlackBerry Pearl 8130. This is the smallest and thinnest smartphone, and just like other BlackBerry devices, it has the best on-the-go email and updates the user on calendar and time events. The Pearl 8130 has a much powerful camera, music player, video recording capabilities, a stereo Bluetooth and broadband download speeds. This is the lightest phone in its class and apart from the physical features; there are also internal features that make it cool. These include its support for the EV-DO networks, 3G and GPS. Verizon Wireless offers up the BlackBerry Pearl as the sleekest version of this functional, portable smartphone. While the Pearl lacks a QWERTY keyboard, RIMs SureType capability enables surprisingly intuitive thumbing of text messages, emails and URLs. BlackBerry's Messaging client lets you keep in touch with friends, family and business associates and, once you get the hang of it, the SureType entry lets you fire away messages with speed that rivals the bulkier full keyboards.

Bottom line: the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 is a worthy contender even when compared to its fuller formed cousins. With impressive video, music and photo capabilities, 3G speeds, built-in GPS and wireless web and email on Verizon's EV-DO networks, the Pearl can get the job done while taking up less space. SureType is an acquired taste for some, but can certainly be brought up to speed with a bit of practice.
