BlackBerry Pearl has come a long way toward positioning phones previously centered on the company closer to consumers. Even if the phone requires a monthly subscription for the BlackBerry back-end support, the form factor, phone numbers and more multimedia features like the new appeal to consumers. The latest update, the BlackBerry Pearl 8120, updates the 2 megapixel camera, WiFi and also adds support for T-Mobile HotSpot @ Home UMA service. This form of weight loss bulky traditional BlackBerry a “candybar” design, just using a BlackBerry device more attractive to people with jeans and not only his jacket pocket. A few months later, improved formula RIM launch BlackBerry Pearl 8110 and 8120, we are reviewing here. The two terminals are identical, except that the former has GPS but no Wi-Fi, and it is Wi-Fi, but without GPS. Of course, if you need GPS hardware device and then the 8120 is not the phone for you. Keep in mind that you get pre-installed Google Maps which support the “My Location” that identifies between 500 and 5,000 meters in the triangulation network – and is typically as low as that. The candybar-shaped phone measures 107×50x14mm and weighs only 90g, making it perfect pocket is not a BlackBerry mind that takes you on a night. The design is attractive, finished with blue stripes and silver recovery that runs along the side of the area around the central rotary control mechanism. Bottom left is a full size 3. 5 mm headphone jack that allows you to use your favorite headphones. There is also a cover of an external slot for SD card (which lets you add and remove memory without taking the battery). It also means you can up to 8 GB of memory to 64 MB on board – good for a fair few songs and video. From this you will find a button to activate the voice dialing service – this can be useful for users of business lines, but we found That we hit accidentally – the activation of a woman irritating American accent asking us to say ” command of “at least you can set the key to act as a shortcut to what you like. Bottom right are the volume up and down, a button that allows direct access to the camera – we can not really complain just resolution of two megapixels, or appear not to have done nothing wrong for the iPhone but the quality is not above average. The camera has a vertical mirror and a flash anyway, so Apple is already playing and we have already mentioned the ability to record 240×180 video resolution. The 8120 320×240 pixel screen is, it feels a bit ‘limited by the standard of many recent smartphones, but not so bad. The screen colors are not vibrant, however, and the icons are not as sharp as the best of what you can do today. At the top of the screen, you will find a very busy section at the top, which displays information Such as time, date, network, signal Strength indicator, sound and the number of emails they have read. A series of icons that run down the left screen, access to the browser, mailboxes, and BlackBerry Maps. Below is the menu button that provides access to other options and applications. Movement around these icons is easy thanks to the ball roll center. Google Maps asks you to upgrade to the latest version of Google Latitude turned the first pitch and a custom BlackBerry Facebook application is also preinstalled. You will also find useful applications, such as a voice recorder, calendar and calculator and MemoPad. All pretty standard, as some games like Sudoku and pleasant BrickBreaker. A potential problem in 8120 if the keyboard. Being a BlackBerry, offers a full QWERTY keyboard, but RIM has squeezed this in a small form factor are more letters per key. You can use SureType – which is the BlackBerry version of the T9 predictive text, but on the QWERTY layout. It took some ‘getting used to having a Qwerty layout and writing and this has slowed down at first, but it is something you get to use. We found the connection to Wi-Fi quite simple and it worked the first time. As expected, e-mail was easy to configure and enter our data Gmail only our e-mail without having to add any details Techy. Browsing the Web via the browser was fine, but not quite so serious smartphone, resolution or touch screen capabilities, making it feel closer to the date of an iPhone. When not using Wi-Fi lacks the speed and the Pearl is limited to EDGE, which makes navigation a bit ’slow compared to 3G. Battery life is very good though. With light control using emails, some browsing and a couple of calls that took four days before shutting down. Even with increased use, it is sufficient to connect every other day. In general then, the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 is very nice to use the phone. They can not compete with the major smart phones for web browsing, but can have a good go at this and multimedia in general (all to be a serious tool for e-mail). Ultimately, if you’re in a contract that there are better options out there, but not least, the BlackBerry Bold 9000, but cheap to run a pay as you go BlackBerry appeal, the 8120 will serve you well. The RIM BlackBerry Pearl has proven that the company is able to produce devices that appeal to consumers. BlackBerry Pearl is the phone-like than we have seen so far, with the appearance of a regular phone. Although the user interface could use some improvements in the department of pleasure for the eyes, offers a wide variety of benefits, specifically for users for which the Pearl is the first BlackBerry phone for more inteligente.VisÃtenos Review
