RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8120 (AT&T) - Product Summary


The good: The RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8120 for AT&T brings Wi-Fi to the slim smartphone, along with an improved Web browser and a 2-megapixel camera with video recording capabilities. The handset also has integrated Bluetooth, strong e-mail capabilities, and solid multimedia features.

The bad: The BlackBerry Pearl 8120 lacks 3G support and GPS. The SureType keyboard still requires a learning curve, and there was a slight background hiss during phone calls.

The bottom line: The addition of Wi-Fi and other enhancements make the RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8120 a nice upgrade, but we couldn't help wanting a little more from the smartphone.

Specs: OS provided: BlackBerry Handheld Software; Band / mode: GSM 850/900/1800/1900; Wireless connectivity: IEEE 802.11b, Bluetooth 2.0, IEEE 802.11g
