Blackberry White Pearl / Reviews

I purchased my first blackberry this year. I heard all about what a great gadget it is so I purchased a blackberry Pearl along with the Blackberry data plan. Well, to my surprise, the device isn't even manufactured by blackberry or Research in Motion, it's a Qualcomm phone! A cheaply made Qualcomm phone.

The back of the device is constantly falling off and the mobile browser that comes included with the device is horrible. There is no touch screen, the keys are too small, and the intelligent typing feature is a drag when you need to enter an email address. For example, it doesn't recognize "com", it pretty much forces you to enter "vom"..

Next time I will get an Apple IPhone. The blackberry doesn't come even close to the Iphone in features and quality and the pearl is just $100-150 cheaper. What I don't think people realize is the blackberry pushes your email to your phone while most of the smart phones out there allow you to choose to have your email pushed to your phone or you can pull it yourself.
