Seeing this review, what's interesting is that the Pearl 3G does everything better than average such as taking pictures, video and speakerphone. This only makes me want to look forward to the next version of the Pearl with 4G. I think RIM should offer an Android OS Blackberry. That would help them defend their territory in the smartphone market.
@greend0utX you probably have the OS version to uninstall OS connect your blackberry to the BLACKBERRY DESKTOP SOFTWAREclick UPGRADE software and it will open a new window it will say searching for avalble upgrades in the bottom right hand corner it will say other versions click this and choose the OS5.0 software click this and wait until completed :)
@kittywhite67 Thats talk time, not standby/text, cause im pretty sure you would be talking during school. Im in school aswell and I have a 9300 Curve and a Sony Ericsson X10. The BB is better for inclass, texting is easier and the battery easily lasts 2 days. Hope I helped!
@Angel: If it's antique, why are you here lol? I had an earlier version of this phone when it came out, and it was actually pretty great. If someone is looking for a cheap as dirt prepaid phone for calling/texting that is still capable of very basic smartphone functions, this is still a great buy.
@starlionblue RIM cannot let that happen, they'll lose revenues from their App world... besides, a blackberry isn't a blackberry without blackberry OS and exclusive blackberry features. BTW, blackberry phones have data encrypting technology that's supported by their servers that Android and WinMo don't possess. That's what makes it special. as well as the BBM and the status symbol it shows :)
@william132465 Hhaha! OMG SAME I HATE MINE TOO NOW! Mine keeps freezing! Im going to take it in! and hope they gimme a BB Curve(Even better BB CURVE 9360) Like this is a good phone just for calling. But since i text too much.. i think its time for me to get a new one(Plus as i said its freezing :/)

WHAT THEME IS THAT? when you press menu it goes to a whole new screen. im a noob, i think its a different OS. i want it tho
I would love this phone if it was a little bit wider with a full QWERTY keyboard. The design is amazing.

hot damn phone
No camera on a phone is good enough for these people. -__________-
pearls suck. for that price get a torch no doubt. even if its more the torch is better. full touch, full keyboard
Man I remember the good old days when you saw a pretty girl with a black berry pearl and asked her "hey give me your BBM"
what are you saying man 999.99
Pokemon Red Version! ROFL
@jr18psp Neither, get an android.
