Blackberry Pearl Hands On
The Blackberry Pearl is the latest handheld device from RIM. This device has been cut clean — it is smaller than most fashion phones, lighter than the rest and it comes with a few new features which truly makes the Blackberry an attractive lifestyle device. The stigma of the Blackberry was that it was labeled as a “corporate device” because of its bulky design and the no-camera feature.
The Pearl has the following highlights:
- 1.3MP camera
- 1 1/2 days worth of battery life
- Built in GMail Chat and Yahoo! Messenger
- Voice recognition dialing (you do not need to pre-program recordings)
- Video playback
- EDGE connectivity
- Light sensor (detects low light levels and switches on the backlighting)
- Trackball navigation (a small trackball at the center serves as the navigation, replacing the joystick)
With the addition of a camera, enterprise IT departments can actually have the camera feature disabled from their servers for security purposes. Cool!

Good review…I got my hands on the new white BlackBerry, which is even prettier than the black one. Love the site!
