BlackBerry Pearl 8100 Series

With the BlackBerry ® Pearl™ 8100 series enjoy fun and functionality in a small, stylish device.

BlackBerry ® Pearl™ 8100 series smartphones offer everything you’re looking for from a mobile phone, without sacrificing the full BlackBerry smartphone experience.

BlackBerry it seems is no longer the preserve of the office honcho looking to stay in touch with the boardroom while sunning it on the beach,as the BlackBerry Pearl is a consumer-friendly looking 14.5mm thick mobile phone with digital camera and multimedia functions.

Small, thin and compact are the best way to describe the sleek mobile phone. It’s the company’s thinnest yet and almost half the size of Nokia’s N70 mobile phone. BlackBerry fans most seemed to like the gloss black finish with chrome trim and the small white iridescent “Pearl” looking control positioned just under the screen.

You don’t stay in touch with all the people in your life in the exact same way. Even though they’re smaller than other BlackBerry ® smartphones, the Pearl 8100 series of mobile phones can help you stay on top of what’s happening and contact the people in your life when you’ve got news.

The BlackBerry ® Pearl™ 8100 series has SureType® technology which combines an innovative keyboard layout with dynamic software to help you type quickly and accurately on this narrow, compact mobile phone. It’s designed to learn your typing and word patterns so you can focus on getting the message out.

With the camera on a BlackBerry Pearl smartphone, you can be prepared to snap a pic of unexpected, important—or even embarrassing—moments.

Then you can share your pictures—in an email, picture message, or instant message chat. Or upload them to sites like Facebook® and Flickr™.

And when an event can’t be captured in a single instant, use sound and action to tell the story with the video camera on your BlackBerry Pearl smartphone.

Whether you want to watch a video clip or listen to your favorite songs, your BlackBerry Pearl phone delivers visual and sound quality that keeps up with your needs.

You can even use BlackBerry ® Media Sync to sync your desktop iTunes® or Windows Media Player music files with your BlackBerry ® Pearl mobile phone (smartphone).

Enjoy the convenience of carrying BlackBerry® Maps in your pocket. It’s designed to make it easier to find the location of businesses, restaurants, concert venues and more by allowing you to check maps and get driving directions quickly and conveniently.

Pinpoint where you are right now and where you need to be with GPS capabilities on the BlackBerry® Pearl™ 8110 smartphone.

With the BlackBerry® Pearl™ 8120 Wireless capability you are able to check your email, shop online, make phone calls and stream video on your smartphone without being connected to your service provider’s cellular network. With the BlackBerry® Pearl™ 8120 smartphone, you can do all of this and maybe even save a little money.

Whether you set up a wireless network at home or use a public hotspot, Wi-Fi® gives you access to all of your BlackBerry® services.

The BlackBerry® Pearl™ 8130 connected to a Wi-Fi® network to access the mobile versions of news, television and other media sites.

So if you are interested in a funny clip from YouTube or the incredible play from last night’s game? Hit up a hotspot or connect to a wireless network and enjoy.
