In this video, we are going to take a look back at a great BlackBerry phone, the BlackBerry Pearl. The BlackBerry Pearl was released in 2006, my dad actually owned this BlackBerry back in the day. This Pearl was a great, compacted, candy-bar-style phone, with the amazing games and features we know and love.
The BlackBerry Pearl in 2021 is a whole different experience, with only one camera, no wi-fi, no 4G, and no waterproof... I could go on. Even though this phone looks very dated by today's standards, the BlackBerry Pearl will always have a place in my heart.
Did you ever own a Blackberry Pearl or use one? We would love to know your thoughts on the Blackberry Pearl in the comments down below!

Gotta love brick breaker
🎮🎮🎮
I LOVED my Pearl! Many people complained about the SureType keyboard, but once you used it for a few days, it was truly just as fast as QWERTY.
I was 25 when this phone came out, I got the pink one and I thought I was the queen!!
My favourite feature of the Blackberry Pearl and Bold etc, was the little mirrored thing beside the camera lens so you could kind of get an idea of what the best angle was for a selfie. Nowadays we have a camera on the front of the phone so we can just look at the screen, but I think it would be good to put the mirror on the back again since the rear camera is always much higher quality.
The battery sticker is printed white at the factory and turns pink or red when exposed to moisture. A red sticker doesn't mean the battery is a goner, it just means the warranty is void as it's probably been dunked in water.
I owned a few of these. And that is exactly why I'm at your video haha. A lot of people don't know that BlackBerry is still around and very much alive and doing very well. They're not in the phone market anymore. But they are in cybersecurity and the automotive industry. A huge number of cars out today run BlackBerry QNX software. Such as Ford Sync and a whole bunch of other vehicles. Blackberry has a huge foothold in the automotive software industry. Because it allows cars to be connected to the internet securely.
Loved my Pearl as all my BB phones. Nothing has come close to the sheer enjoyment of using BB phones x
Man. The memories. I went to this from a Razr.
Real camera. SD card. I loved them. I still have both of them
I remember working a paper route every morning for 3 years to pay for this phone
What's a paper route?
@@sayhitosteve2785 A lot of the time teenagers will deliver news papers on their bikes. Getting paid like $50 every 2 weeks.
I owned one of these and it's still top 3 phones I've ever owned.
I have a lot of heart felt memories with the pearl
Loved the SureType feature, definitely my favorite phone of that time.
I owned one . I was 21 years old I remember sending people my pin or something like that it was amazing
Love the blackberry. Takes me back some years!
Waiting on the #BlackBerry take over!
I really love Blackberry phones. I have a Nokia C3-00 and It was this little powerful smartphone in my hands that really made me happy. I love the Blackberry phones a bit more than the Nokia's because in my opinion, you were able to do a lot more with the blackberry phones and I still love those phones. I think they are perfect just like the blackberry pearl. Thank you so much for making this video. It makes me happy to hear that more people in the world love these old but very lovable smartphones to use as a special memory or to do something else. Thank you and God bless the both of you's
I LOVED my Blackberry Pearl. I must admit that many people questioned how I texted, seeings that each button had 2 characters. I would mention / explain the SureType program.
My favorite phone I've had if all time phone. 24 years of having phones.
This phone was so beautiful
Yes. I had the blue one. I'm trying to find one to use, no luck
I had one! Really liked it and could type quickly with it. Went from this to my first iPhone.
That and my T-Mobile G 1 , and also Nextel bring back memories. Great phones.
I did own one back in 2006 or 2007 my first smart phone mine was silver
My first smartphone back in 06. I absolutely loved it. It made sms and BBM so easy. Besides that it had so many features that a lot of new phones have. Blackberry made great phones.
I loved my BlackBerry Curve!
I owned multiple Pearls and a couple Bolds, too.
Greatness.
I still have this mobile and it’s working ❤❤
The Blackberry Lives On!
This was my first BlackBerry and it was a great phone! Popular with celebs in the day and there was a way to change the trackball light colour via the software.
Only on some versions. On mine for example, you could only change the colour of the trackball by colouring the white LED behind the ball with a sharpie or something similar. The indicator LED was a different story, though.
Still have mine
Best phone I ever had
I had one of these when they came out and Ive just bought one offa ebay. So I end up here wondering can I unlock it and still actually use it on todays EE network.
Great first smartphone for me.
This was a great phone
COOL PHONE .. I STILL USE IT IN 2023
My first cellphone in high school back in 07 😬
I had the red version and used to call it my iron man phone 😂😂
It was!
Evidently there is a lintball in my samsung galaxy note 20 ultra and that is preventing it from charging. Im like I have never heard of that ever.
Have this phone internet? 3 g?

Amaizing Mobile
I had this from 2008-09!
I remember wanting this phone way back when my carrier T-Mobile (still T-Mobile today) had this phone on sale for about $50 with contract. I wanted to get it but I couldn't afford the data plan. Oh well, I got an Android just few years later anyway. WAAAAY better!
iphone 😜
How to buy blackberry pearl mobile
3:37
No I really think I do
Good For You! Phones These Days Have Too Much Junk And Bad Grammar, And This Is Just Nostalgic As Well As Efficient ( Well, For Phone Calls When It Works. It Is Portable Anyway. ) I Thought The Whole Point Of A Phone Was For Communication And Emergencies. Those New Apple Watches Seem Good For That, And Are Mainly Like Touch - Screened Old Phones. Well, Some - What.
I had it
I had a white one
That’s awesome, the white one looked really nice!
My favorite phone
I miss my 8100! I’ll trade my iPhone for one lol
Time machine 😁
High school days
My dad did
What a guy!
I wanna buy this phone in India
Hqve tbis phone internet? 3 g?
Can you actually use whatsapp or Fb on this phone?
Yes had one.. junk
Fair play, it must have been very different using it as a main phone!
These were crap when new!
