BlackBerry phones have been characterized as being great convergence devices for business professionals on the move. They have revolutionized the industry with their hallmark push-email service, typing-friendly handsets and its intuitive User Interface among others; making other makers follow suit.
Today in the labs, we've got one of the newer iterations of the Pearl series, the 8120. This Smart-phone seems to be a good all-rounder. But is the price too much to ask?


It's got the looks


Bundle:

- BlackBerry Pearl 8120
- Battery Charger with multiple pin-type sockets
- miniUSB Data Cable
- 3.5mm ear-phones with microphone built-in
- Software CD and Instruction Manual



Specifications Sheet:



One thing missing in all the BlackBerry handsets till date is the 3G support. But this can't be a reason for us Indians to get all fussed about yet (since there's no darn 3G here).

The usefulness of a BB device is achieved, when you use it with a BB data Plan. You have just reviewed the phone per se. Try using the E61 with BBC and BB data Plan and then using a BB device with BB data Plan. You will stop thinking why and whether you need to fork our the additional 10,000. BBC on Nokia is daft. It is actually retarded and only push mail works. Syncing of contacts, calendar , remote wipe, etc etc which is native to BB device is invisible from a Nokia with BBC.

how about the awesome email functionalities? how about the fact that RIM is ONE company that does give out frequent OS upgrades that you can download for free? And when you say you don't see the value of paying 10k for a better UI and easier navigation, I assume you have NEVER heard of this thing called the iPhone. Please use these devices for a while before writing such statements.
