BlackBerry RIM Pearl-8130 review

 BlackBerry RIM Pearl-8130 review

The camera on the BlackBerry RIM Pearl-8130 leaves something to be desired, allowing for only 2.0 megapixels. However, it does provide video support, includes a flash, and has a 5x digital zoom.

As far as multimedia features go, the BlackBerry RIM Pearl-8130 has quite a few positives. Video and audio playback in a huge variety of formats is supported, as is expandable memory thanks to microSD support.

Other features include WAP Internet access, SureType keyboard, Bluetooth support, a huge phone book, an alarm, a calendar, a notepad, a calculator, a to-do list, full voice commands, email support, and GPS support.

Pros

  • Loads of features
  • GPS
  • 3G Support
  • Attractive design

Cons

  • Poor battery life
  • Somewhat expensive
  • Phone tends to lock up after extensive use

Overall

The BlackBerry RIM Pearl-8130 is a great phone with a lot of features. However, the short battery life as well as a few problems with freezes and lock-ups makes the BlackBerry RIM Pearl-8130 a problem for some. Overall, if you are looking for a high tech phone and you love the BlackBerry brand, this is the device for you. Otherwise, you may want to check out other devices from companies like Apple, LG, Nokia, or Samsung.
