Looks like blackberry has finally realised that their 'all encompassing business phones' should also extend hands towards the general customer as well. Thus, Blackberry launched its Blackberry 8100 to appease not only the genre of business men but also the students and their parents. The phone embodies all the advantages of a typical blackberry device, and only comes in a more compact package, with enhanced multimedia feature packed into it.
Blackberry 8100 alias 'Pearl' is a style icon. The phone is garbed with piano black gloss finish, with the sides covered in a dark silver / pewter coloured metal finish. The colour combination is played wisely upon, so, despite the two extra columns of keys, the Blackberry 8100 looks quite compact. Blackberry 8100 measures only 107 mm x 50 mm x 15mm in size. The phone also has an innovative trackball – suggestive of the name pearl. The Pearl's backlit trackball provides a good feel, and is easily spun in any direction for navigation.
What makes Blackberry 8100 different from the other mobiles in the genre is its enhanced multimedia capability. The phone comes with a support for playing audio and video, and a camera. The Mp3 is neat and can play most of the tracks. With that, it also has the option for downloading and storing more music. The video quality is quite good, though the device falls a little short of expectations on handling heavy MPEG -4 videos. The 1.3 Megapixels camera comes with a built-in flash and digital zoom.
Riding on T-Mobile's EDGE network, the Blackberry 8100 delivers satisfactory data connection. It supports quad-band GSM/GPRS networks and offer Bluetooth as well. Blackberry 8100's organisational options are diverse. Desktop Manager can sync contacts, calendars, memos, and tasks with Outlook, Outlook Express, Lotus Notes and Organizer, Novell Groupwise and Sage ACT! software. Access to the internet is hassle free and smooth.
Blackberry 8100 is indeed one of the choicest smartphones in the market. It is also a strong performer to boot.
