Compare Prices : BlackBerry Pearl 8110

Review summary: Introducing the BlackBerry 8110 Pearl, so called for the pearl-like trackball in the centre of the handset. Couple this with HTC's Diamond and you've got the makings of an expensive smartphone necklace!

Pros: Surfing the net wherever and whenever with that lovely trackball

Cons: It's lacking 3G, and that two-meg camera's a bit stingy

Verdict: The BlackBerry Pearl puts the entire interweb in your pocket and keeps you in touch to boot.

Review summary: Compared to the BlackBerry Pearl 8100 and 8120, the RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8110 boasts a very useful GPS feature. If you're addicted to BlackBerry handsets and need a sat-nav, then it's definitely worth having a look at this model--but don't expect ...

Pros: GPS ; built-in 3.5mm headphone jack

Cons: Nearly identical to other Pearl models

Verdict: Adding onboard GPS functionality to an already good phone is a great idea and it's what makes this particular model interesting. Unlike the Pearl 8100 or 8120 with Wi-Fi, you can use this phone as a fully fledged satellite navigation device while ...

Review summary: BlackBerry 8110 Pearl is smartphone that which has a built-in GPS mapping system. Its dimensions are 106.68 mm x 60.96 mm x 12.70 mm, and it weighs approximately 90 grammes. This smartphone also has a 2 megapixel camera and SureType QWERTY keyboard ...

Pros: While the 8110 Pearl looks identical to the 8100 Pearl, there is one big difference. GPS. Oh, and BlackBerry Maps. OK, that's two differences. Even better, we found it took just 10-15 seconds to nab a satellite fix. Satnav aside, this also smacks its ...

Cons: The handset's display isn't ideal for use as a satnav on your car's dashboard - it's too titchy to clearly show the 2D maps, you see (well, probably not). We also weren't that taken with the paltry 2-megapixel camera

Verdict: The satnav is a nice touch, but the 8110's main selling point is still its style and email skills. Come on, it's been the main selling point for BlackBerry since its inception!

Review summary: The new BlackBerry Pearl 8110 has the same overall design as its stylish predecessor, but adds a snazzy new blue finish. The keyboard sits in a wave-like design on the front of the device, along with a really easy-to-use trackball, which lets you ...

Pros: Attractive design, Scroll ball is comfortable and easy to use, Works with Windows and Mac systems, Integration with Tiger is flawless

Cons: Side buttons are hard to squeeze, Comfort could be improved
