Once again I join the ranks of fans of an already popular product instead of recommending it first. But I have no shame :) !

Verizon has been upping their phone selection recently, and their latest entry is the Blackberry Pearl 8130. This is the real Pearl - instant email to and from your phone, 3rd-party applications can be installed, and it comes with a calender, web browser, etc. It also has Bluetooth, but only for certain things: You can use a headset, send a picture or output the audio, but that's about it. There is a cool built in GPS, BUT Verizon (gotta love them) disabled it - it only works if you pay them $9.99 a month.

This is my first blackberry and I am very happy with it. Be warned though - it does take a few days to get used to the menus and all.

Overall, slim, cool and super functional - what more could you want in a phone?

Currently $199 with a new 2 year contract.

Great phone. No, it's not the iPod, but it's a great phone for checking email, surfing the web, chatting, texting whatever. It's not that big, it's not a flip phone and have not had any problems yet. Great phone all around.

I love the small size of the blackberry! I also love the ability to buy a memory card to store music. The software is great when connecting to a PC.

Great phone. The predictive text is the best I've ever used. The trick is to not look at the keyboard when you type. I originally viewed the lack of WiFi as a big negative, but so far I don't miss it. The phone just works great. If it turns out to be a durable, tough phone, then this could be my phone for the next year or two.

Great phone.

Only grief is my provider, Bell Canada, only has two colour options: Candy red or a deep purple. My only choice was the slightly more masculine deep purple (almost a deep blue) although I would have much preferred a black. It seems to me like Bell is really trying to market the 8130 to females and the more expensive 8830 to men.
