The Pearl combines Blackberry's traditional business-centric features with a consumer-friendly mobile phone. The new Pearl has an integrated GPS system, a 2 megapixel camera, and several other small improvements from it predecessor.
PROS
It is easy to set-up and customise, mobile email is great, and it has built-in GPS.
CONS
The Keyboard is strange and might not appeal to some and the web browser renders messy pages.
VERDICT
The Pearl���s 240 x 260 screen seems cramped and its EDGE data connection obsolete in a world of HSDPA.
