Reviews of the RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8130 - dark purple (Sprint)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8130 adds built-in GPS, EV-DO support, and video-recording capabilities. The smartphone's Web browser is also improved, and it has a 2-megapixel camera. Sprint's version supports the carrier's various mobile entertainment services, and the device's messaging functions remain strong.
The Bad: The BlackBerry 8130's SureType keyboard takes some acclimation. Video playback isn't the smoothest, and the various wireless options can take a toll on the battery life.
The Bottom Line: The RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8130 improves on an already-impressive smartphone with the addition of GPS, video recording, and 3G support.

Review Summary: The 8130 is great for anyone who wants to do some light e-mail communication and Web surfing on a phone that won't feel bulky in a pocket. But if you're a heavy keyboard user, you're better off with a full-size smart phone
