$29 for bis data (if you have a voice plan) is pretty fair imho and shitload better than the old price of $45 for data. where cingular can adjust its pricing, however, is in the ungodly high tethering package. currently it costs $75 per month, and with the 8700, 7130, and most likely this device offering tethering capabilities, they're shooting themselves in the foot by not offering this option at a more realistic price. ]]>Aug 9th 2006 5:37PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/09/the-blackberry-pearl-8100-gets-a-name/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/09/the-blackberry-pearl-8100-gets-a-name/Aug 9th 2006 6:02PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/09/the-blackberry-pearl-8100-gets-a-name/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/09/the-blackberry-pearl-8100-gets-a-name/Aug 9th 2006 11:31PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/09/the-blackberry-pearl-8100-gets-a-name/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/09/the-blackberry-pearl-8100-gets-a-name/

The phone is the same thickness as the Razr and 1/3 inch longer. IT is FAST. I support Yahoo! Go, I have been very successful on getting it working on my device quite nicely.

The 1.3 megapixel camera takes great photos, email and SMS are easy, even with the double lettered buttons.There is a slight learning curve coming into this as your first RIM device, but I am loving it! It does run on EDGE!

The MP3 player is wonderful. I only have a 1GB microSD, but it is enough for traveling. Audio quality is super.

All in all, its a wonderful phone and I have no regrets about my purchase. The nly improvement I could think of would be Widgets for it!]]>Jan 28th 2007 9:51PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/09/the-blackberry-pearl-8100-gets-a-name/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/09/the-blackberry-pearl-8100-gets-a-name/I have a number of website I run to sell stuff, This tools means that I can actually go on hilliday with out my laptop and still run the busines. This tool is so great that if I were in say auz, say at sydny harbour bridge and I wanted to go to the nearest mcdonalds. All I have to do to get verbal directions from point to point is tap into my pearl the word mcdonalds, I then get either a sat view or map view with directions step by step.

Again I think this tool is the nuts.

The only thing I havent found yet is a patch to watch streaming videos straight from the web. But i'm sure i'll be able to very soon...

The tool of the decade in my opinion

I dont think I'd ever be happy with one. I have hands as big as Dr. J. And my eyes are probably as bad as Mr. Magoo. I was having a helluva time reading what key did what. And I prefer the larger keys on my HTC Wizard device.

But for a person who is going to be basically READING email and who will only need to do short five word responses , the Perl would probably be okay.

Also the thing LOOKS cool, but they use so much plastic on the device - this is definately not a device for a heavy duty user like some guy driving an earth mover.

Again - all just one person's opinion. YMMV]]>Mar 4th 2007 1:16PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/09/the-blackberry-pearl-8100-gets-a-name/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/09/the-blackberry-pearl-8100-gets-a-name/]]>Mar 8th 2007 12:29PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/09/the-blackberry-pearl-8100-gets-a-name/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/09/the-blackberry-pearl-8100-gets-a-name/Apr 4th 2007 10:13AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/09/the-blackberry-pearl-8100-gets-a-name/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/09/the-blackberry-pearl-8100-gets-a-name/
