Rating  - Great Reception and Stylish
Very clear, stylish phone. I don't really know what else to say, I just rank it because when I search for phones I find this rankings very helpful.
Rating - Great Looking Phone
This phone is great looking, easy to use and has the email functionality that you would expect from RIM-blackberry. I love the fact that is tiny and lighweight. Although I've heard some people complain about how difficult it is to type on the keypad, I (6'3'' with giant hands) haven't had a problem with that thus far. I think that people are expecting the best of both worlds- a tiny phone with a giant key board(get a speak and type program). That said, I do have one problem with this otherwise wonderful phone (although I gave it a five star rating). I think that the RIM folks could have added video capture capacity and a better camera this beauty. Other than that though, this small lightweight smart phone is everyones dream-UNLESS YOU LIKE BULKY CELL PHONES ATTACHED TO YOUR HIP!
Rating  - phone is excellent but tmobile is misleading!!!
I have been with tmobile for a long time now and have had their unlimited data plan for $ 5.99 a month on top of my regular plan. I have to carry a bid smart phone and ever since the Tmobile folks came out with the pearl, I have been salivating for it. Its a normal sized phone with all the functions of a smart phone. I waited and waited and finally ordered the blackberry with Tmobile who charged me $ 299.00 as "discounted" price for my 3 years of loyalty with them.
They knew what plan I had and what I would be using for. I noticed one thing though that when I called them up to buy the phone, they kept trying to sell me the $ 19.99 data plan with push email and internet. I refused it thinking that my data plan was sufficient enough. I got my phone in mail and was excited. I put in my sim card and was ready to browse the internet as blazing speed as promised. However, to my biggest disappointment, I could not open a browser window as I did not have the data plan. I tried and tried it over and over but couldnt and thats when I decided to call T-mobile about it. Guess what??? they tell me that the blackberry will not work for regular internet unless you buy the $ 19.99 plan. I was very upset that they never told me about that when I was ordering the phone
the worst was still to come though. They keep trying to upsell me the $ 19.99 plan with push email and enterprise software. I didnt want that and wanted to return the phone. Well guess what?? they will not take the phone back since it was not a new contract. I tried talking to the supervior but he seemed worse than the first person that I was talking to.
I give up..
Finallly sold the phone on ebay and recovered my money..
tombile and blackberry suck
Rating - Great Phone with Many Small Inconveniences
All in all, it's a good device. I do have several complaints, though.
My biggest issue with this phone is that the speakerphone button is too close to the "end call" button. I have accidentally and inadvertently ended several calls due to this. Also, the audio output is only mono. As far as I know, you can only get one channel out (I tried a pair of stereo headphones with the mono/stereo adapter, and this only produced sound in one of the two earbuds). Also, I'm not technically challenged or anything (I'm an IT administrator), but this is a very complex phone. I am learning new things about it every day. It is definitely, by far not the most user-friendly phone on the market. Also, the web browser is nice but there are still too many pages--even WAP and .mobi pages--that still aren't platform-independent. At times the pearl scroll device is too lethargic or too hyperactive, rarely in between. I haven't yet discovered how to adjust the call/speaker volume when not on a call, which is mildly annoying. Even after the firmware update, the IM and browser often crash when used together.
If you can live with all these problems--then again, maybe it's just me--it's a good device. Beautiful display and more than adequate camera. Keys are kind of small but intuitive. Call quality is good with T-mobile, but do experience dropped calls periodically.
