Product Code: BP9105 The beautifully built BlackBerry Pearl 3G smartphone could be a valiant attempt to attract buyers more accustomed to old-school texting via an alpha-numeric keypad. The handset has a lovely tactile feel thanks to rubber-clad edg...
The BlackBerry Pearl 3G is an excellent phone with some brilliant messaging, media and connectivity features. For us, however, the keyboard is a real drawback, especially since email and web address entry meant we routinely needed the full stop and @...

The BlackBerry Pearl 3G is a compact addition to the BlackBerry stable. In fact, it's the smallest BlackBerry to date, and it's a slimmed-down version of the BlackBerry Bold 9700, packing in many of the same features we've come to expect from the king...
The first thing you notice about the BlackBerry Pearl 3G is that it's incredibly svelte and slim, with a respectable 3.2 megapixel camera with flash, delightfully responsive buttons, and a solid back panel. The 2.25-inch screen is also incredibly sharp for its size at 360×400, with great viewing angles.The Pearl 3G’s performance also matches the Bold 9700. It uses the same processor, has 3G, Wi-F...
The battery life is shorter on the BlackBerry Pearl 3G: you’ll only get a day’s use out of it rather than a whole weekend. And not every app runs on it yet due to the unusual screen ratio: useful tools like Google Maps and Sync, Facebook and Foursquare all run fine, but Evernote and PayPal do not. There’s one other big change – the fiddly 0-9 keyboard. Existing Pearl owners will be surprised and...
The BlackBerry Pearl 3G is one of the fastest, most feature-packed candybar phones we’ve ever used. It's a great introductory model for those who can’t get enough of the skinny candybar form factor and don't mind an uncommon keyboard.BlackBerry Pearl 3...

The BlackBerry Pearl 3G is quite simply the best candybar smartphone in existence. It brings what is a very solid and functional line of devices up to date, and while we miss the quirky keyboard design we can live with the more standardised alternativ...

The BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9105 is one of a few new BlackBerry smart phones we should see this year. The 9105 is pretty unique though. As far as I am aware this is the first BlackBerry with a traditional style keypad. Yes, three letters on each key. It i...
The BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9105 Is without doubt a good little phone. If you are currently a BlackBerry user I doubt very much if you will enjoy it as much as your current phone but for people looking to take the leap from a feature phone to a SmartPhone...

The UK version of the Pearl 3G represents a quiet revolution for BlackBerry because it's the first phone the company has produced with a standard numerical keypad rather than a QWERTY keyboard. However, the firm seems to be hedging its bets somewhat as in...

If we were playing a game of word association, we're guessing the word BlackBerry would be quickly followed by QWERTY and business. It's been like that since the RIM entered the market, rarely erring from the 'QWERTY keyboard, functional design' mode -...

The BlackBerry Pearl 9105 is a great entry level RIM device, especially when you consider it features full Wi-Fi capabilities and 3G. Alas, the way it feels and the presence of an alphanumeric keyboard are a little disappointing from such an otherwise...

The first Pearl 8100 was released way back in 2006 , unlike other company's who release handsets with slight tweaks every year, RIM has waited before unleashing the Pearl 9105. However much we liked the design and build of the Pearl 8100, the lack o...

The BlackBerry Pearl 3G - or 9105 on trial here - is RIM's latest model to hit the streets, revising the Pearl 8100 series of devices. It's a revision that BlackBerry fans are now familiar with: whipping out the trackball - the namesake "pearl" - and...

As a T9 candybar phone, on a cheap contract, we'd rate the Pearl 3G highly. As a fully-fledged smartphone there are obvious shortcomings, so to a certain extent you'll be choosing size over the complete experienceKey specs3 megapixels, 3.5mm jack, 3G...

The BlackBerry Pearl 3G puts us in mind of a 9700 Bold that has been slimmed down and slipped into a narrower frame; gone is the spacious Qwerty. But we found that the reduced handset still manages to tick plenty of boxes.What we likeWe were big fans o...
We liked the Pearl 3G a lot. That said, if you’re going to be doing any kind of lengthy typing on your handset, we’d probably point you in the direction of the BlackBerry Bold 9700, if only for its fabulous Qwerty keyboard.But for anyone else, the Blac...
