Research In Motion's BlackBerry series had, due to its business-class utilitarianism, managed to capture most of the business market. But its bulkiness and lack of extra features were not allowing it to be as popular as its true potential demanded it to be. With the launch of the Blackberry Pearl 8120, RIM has made a bold statement. The first change is its refreshing new looks. Coming with a size specification of 4.2"X2"X0.6" this phone is comparatively sleek when compared to BlackBerry's earlier models and weighs 88 grams. The side mounted thumbwheel has also been removed which was not bad, but often proved to be a nightmare for left-handed users. In the place of the basic up-down action key, sits a 360 degree swivel action roller ball, which justifies the name Pearl(It even glows white when you use it). This gives the user the freedom to scroll easily, just like what a mouse does for a PC.

Released in the third quarter of 2006, the Blackberry Pearl 8120, better known as the BlackBerry Pearl, is a quad band GSM device. It is the first in the BlackBerry series to incorporate a camera and other multimedia features. Though the camera is of basic specifications - 1.3 MP; still the picture quality is good even in dark conditions, thanks to the rather powerful flash feature. The QWERTY keyboard is the same for a BlackBerry user, but for somebody unaccustomed to this series, it would take some time to be more comfortable as the keyboard has the standard pattern, but with half the number of keys! The email setup is very impressive, with the BlackBerry enterprise server and the provision to install Yahoo! Messenger and Google Talk for the user to stay in touch. The screen is a standard 65,000 colors, with a resolution of 240X260 pixels. The phone also has a built-in media player for playing MP3 files and videos. Battery life is good, with upto 15 days of standby time and 3.5 hours of talktime.
