The apple of my eye

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2008
The Bottom Line: great phone , get it
Review: I am not a real gadget geek. I was not in a real hurry to get a new cell phone. In fact, I had my nokia 8290 for the past 7 years , it still works great. But I wanted to get a new phone and give the old one to my dad who kept bugging me to get a new...

The Pearl.......A Real Treasure!!

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2008
The Bottom Line: Buy it, learn it, love it! It is amazing and worth every penny! I would have paid $300.00!!!
Review: AWESOME...I LOVE IT..I LOVE IT...I LOVE IT!!

Sorry, I had to get that out of the way! WOW, what a fantastic phone. So many features..where to begin?? I will start with email forwarding. It is amazing. You can forward up to 5 emails on the...

Feels like Windows 95

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2008
The Bottom Line: You: Covert operative making calls from embassy closet. Keypad ALWAYS BEEPS. THERE IS NOTHING "Q" OR YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT, except BE ANNOYED (and be captured by KGB). :-)
Review: (please correct me if any of my facts are off; I think I'm accurate, but honestly too frustrated at this phone to read the manual again!)

Ok, simple.

1. It shouldn't be *that* hard to figure out. Too complicated (and I'm pretty...

I love this phone!

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you don't need a full-fledged BlackBerry, this phone is perfectly sufficient. Take some time to learn it and train it and it will be your best friend!
Review: I got this free from a friend who was upgrading, and I haven't put it down since. The trackball takes a bit of getting used to, so does the AutoText, but if you are patient and teach it what you say (for example, I swear a lot, and my BlackBerry...

Blackberry Pearl...who needs the aggravation.

Date of Review:  Dec 26, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you like blackberrys/have time/patience to learn complex new OS/want to IM friends with them, get it. Want ease of use, simple user interface and real qwerty keypad skip it.
Review: This phone is cute looking and all the cool kids have them but it does not work with you or save you time. Get ready to spend your life scrolling, navigating menus, choosing, searching, tapping and cursing as you try to figure out such complex tasks...

The Pearl is fun but unreliable.

Date of Review:  Dec 18, 2007
Review: This cell phone follows the general rule: More money spent on advertising = less money spent on research and development.

1. Track ball would only roll horizontally for days at a time.

2. Water damage sticker is triggered even...

Blackberry finally makes a phone that appeals to young adults

Date of Review:  Sep 18, 2007
The Bottom Line: Finally a blackberry with the features that other phones have had for years.
Review: Just so you understand where this review is coming from, I'm a 23 year old college student. I'm not a corporate executive who needs his important email. I'm a user that likes to use my phone for music and games and web browsing. Certain features...

Where have you been all my life?!?!?

Date of Review:  Aug 8, 2007
The Bottom Line: Thanks to upgradeable memory there's nothing it can't do. The blackberry pearl does it all despite the teeny size.
Review: I love my blackberry pearl. I even kiss it goodnight.

A broker s like is running around like a headless chicken, you're never in one spot long, miss a message and it could potentially cost you a commission. If you re working all the time...

Another Unreliable Palm PDA

Date of Review:  Jul 31, 2007
Review: I purchased a PALM TX to replace my PALM 515 which had a problem with hot syncing. The TX was fine, for eight months. It then began having touchscreen problems. After contacting PALM and trying their "fixes" they agreed it was a hardware problem...

Date of Review:  Jul 28, 2007
Review: I DO NOT recommend to buy this handheld. I've been reading that there are many buyers who have had the same problems I have. The power button has not worked well since the first days, and it's getting worse. I have this PDA from a year ago, and now...
