Pros: Smart, compact and very reliable, and SO EASY to use.
Cons: The greasy screen, the low battery life, so-so camera.
The Bottom Line: Excellent as your first, entry level Blackberry, great as a phone. No good for people that type a lot.

Pros: Small, Sleek, Lightweight, excellent sound quality and battery life.
Cons: Camera sucks, side shortcut buttons too sensitive, gets dirty too easily. Expensive!
The Bottom Line: Nice phone with good sound quality. Do not buy if you are only interested in a camera because the camera is horrible. Powerful features for both techie & business users.

Pros: Small, easy to use, doubles as my desktop & mp3 player
Cons: keyboard is small, but it's a decent tradeoff
The Bottom Line: Thanks to upgradeable memory there's nothing it can't do. The blackberry pearl does it all despite the teeny size.

Cons: In my "epinion"...nothing.
