BlackBerry’s latest mobile phone offerings include the Pearl 3G 9105. It owes much of its shape and styling to the older Bold 9700 but is a slimmed down, more compact version. Much of this is due to BlackBerry replacing the QWERTY keyboard with a good quality, well-designed alphanumeric one. This is not to say that it has lost any of its quality; this phone still includes plenty to text home about.

Email is where all BlackBerry phones excel and the Pearl 9105 is no different in this regard. Starting an account is easily organised and there is excellent space on the screen for reading messages and emails. They have introduced an integrated mail service that allows users to receive messages from a wide number of sources including Twitter updates and Facebook messages as well as traditional emails.

This is a departure from BlackBerry’s traditional business user market and the Pearl is most definitely styled for the teen consumer market.  While the camera and media systems are not top of the range they do have some interesting settings and are easy to use, especially with the media player controls being accessible from the top of the phone.

Some of the apps could do with updating and if, when released, the new BlackBerry OS 6.0 is made available to the Pearl then it will go some way to increasing the browser performance.

This is a great little starter BlackBerry, not a business user’s mobile created for mass typing and constant surfing, but a good phone for general daily use and keeping in contact with friends.
