BlackBerry Pearl Review

[Ryan Joseph]

Hey folks, I am definitely not spamming for my blog, but I just thought some of you might be interested in this. I just got the BlackBerry Pearl and I wrote a review over on my blog. Check it out, if you're interested. :-)

I like how they did the keyboard on this, and the screen looks pretty nice. But, I hear that it only supports a low bit-rate for MP3s. Something like 48 or so? Is that right? That's just silly if it's true.

Yeah, the keyboard is sweet. Like I said in the review, being used to T9, it's taking me a little while to adapt to the QWERTY style, but I'm getting it. I think it'll end up being faster once I'm used to it.

...I hadn't heard that bout the MP3s. But I don't think it's true because my ringtone is a 128bit MP3. :wink: I haven't tried it with anything higher, but I certainly will now...

The screen is amazing. It plays videos soooo smoothly and it's really sharp for text reading. I like it a lot.

Yeah, I would be interested to know. Here's the link to that discussion. It's actually 48KHz sampling rate.
