Blackberry Pearl 8100

The stylish BlackBerry 8100c Pearl is a functional and fashionable PDA smartphone, the slimmest and longest form factor in the Blackberry cell phone suite. Distinctive features include Push to Talk, auto push email, messaging and multimedia options. Support is built-in for viewing email attachments (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, and Word Perfect). You cannot edit any attachments.

The Pearl is small in size but as big in expected communications goodies as its larger brothers. If your company has a Blackberry Enterprise Server you can automatically sync your desktop calendar and all your Oulook appointments and tasks. You can also manually sync your handset with your desktop via USB or Bluetooth.

The keyboard is QWERTY but due to the slim form factor each button shares two letters. RIM’s SureType predictive technology works much better than you might expect, and it constantly improves because SureType learns the words you type most often. It may take a day or two to adapt to the Pearl keyboard.

The Cingular Blackberry Pearl is made for one hand operation. A four-way trackball replaces the Blackberry trackwheel. There are easily accessible buttons for everything - speakerphone, camera, menu, volume. You name it and it’s probably on the front panel of the device.

View photos and email attachments on the large brightly lit 240 x 260 color screen. The Pearl has a 1.3 megapixel camera with LED flash, a media player that supports MP3, AAC, AAC+, and eAAC+, web browser, Bluetooth® and more. A microSD memory card goes inside under the battery.
