FUGLY. Blackberry is so 2009.]]>May 10th 2010 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/May 10th 2010 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/May 10th 2010 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/
I disagree, not everybody wants phone that is nothing but a giant touch screen.]]>May 10th 2010 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/Definitely not.

I've got an old Berry 8120 - and really like it.

Its a nice compromise between the full keyboard on the larger Berries and a more regular phone size.
And touchscreens for typing are just horrible and pointless (I've got a Sony MP3 player with a touchscreen - nice for scrolling - tapping at large objects works, typing is a pain)

In that respect the little Berry is a perfect phone :)

(Not having fat fingers helps too... - at least I can type very easily on it)]]>May 10th 2010 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/
Can't wait! C'mon RIM!]]>May 10th 2010 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/
If you can afford the pearl you can afford many other "full on smartphones".]]>May 10th 2010 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/May 10th 2010 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/May 10th 2010 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/May 10th 2010 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/
Curve is too big and not good for one hand typing.]]>May 10th 2010 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/No one gives a shit except 50yr old businessmen. ]]>May 10th 2010 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/May 10th 2010 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/Actually everybody who wants a robust phone that works should look at a BlackBerry - versatile and no fashion item.

Mine's taken a slight bath - still works, a former fellow A-level student had his take a hit from an airgun in the UK - still works.

Maybe it doesn't appeal to everybody - but I see more and more of them appearing, also amongst university students!
They have evolved from the pure business tool they were.

Some people prefer functionality over form.]]>May 10th 2010 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/May 10th 2010 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/May 10th 2010 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/May 10th 2010 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/May 10th 2010 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/May 10th 2010 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/May 10th 2010 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/Call me back when you can type a full email comfortably on your touchscreen.

Touchscreens are pointless for typing - buttons won't ever be beaten here.
(Unless optical character recognition finally works perfectly, but considering that tablets induce a scribble... unless you write carefully it'll be a while)

Buttons are there for people who want to type/need to type - and those touchscreen phones are just a fashion item.]]>May 10th 2010 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/May 14th 2010 2:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/May 10th 2010 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/May 10th 2010 6:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/May 10th 2010 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/May 10th 2010 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/May 10th 2010 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/May 10th 2010 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/blackberry-pearl-3g-scoops-fcc-approvals-in-two-flavors/
