I've been through quite a few Blackberries in my time.
Jonathan Tilley
The OEM Shop is missleading customers by declaring this article new when in fact is a remanufactured product.

Bought this one to replace a previous one that broke (bluetooth stopped working).

I really like this phone. I bought it because I had work in South Africa for 3 months and needed something that I could put a local sim card in. I like this phone so much that I think I will keep it and use it when I get back to the States.

-Calls are both reliable and clear which I think is the most important thing(it is a phone first after all)
-The keyboard takes some getting used to but I think I now prefer it to either a qwerty(takes up too much space w/ too small of buttons for fingers like mine), a touch screen(same finger problem) or a regular keypad. I don't have excessively large hands but I def do have "man" hands so I find many things are not built with me in mind. If this is not your case then you can disregard this part but I find that many of the men I work with and my friends tend to have similar issues.
-I didn't really want a flip phone either but now that I have one I am becoming a fan(no pocket dialing or key locking etc.)
-Battery life is good. I turned on the music player and left it on speaker to see how long it would take to drain the thing and after 4 hrs and less than half the battery gone gave up.
-Camera isn't that great but is more than adequate for a phone like this.

Background: If you do your research on this phone (and other BlackBerry's) you will note that many people talk about the bugs/problems, etc. Many of these complaints are hardware based (bad chips, etc) NOT software based (although it may seem so).
Make sure that if you buy it, you can return it (if bad) with no hassles/restocking fees (example: Amazon and sold by Amazon).

Condition: Mines was like new (with covered screens), original box, USB cable, power cable, original CD (there's an update online), headset and small instruction booklet (does not look original). Mines had no software/hardware issues (no rebooting, no Bluetooth issues, no slowdowns, etc).

The advantages in general of the blackberry's are the great screen (geared for text readers) and the keyboard.
The bad is the Blackberry "WiFi situation": they want you to buy the "blackberry internet plan" which is a hookup with your cell phone provider. Cell phone providers will have different names for this plan but note that it will cost you in the US around $15-$20. If you have a prepaid plan they will tell you the plan is not available (unless you have a monthly plan). I don't recommend this plan (if you can get it) because I consider it a ripoff. That will probably be the biggest issue with this phone (and all blackberry's).

The workaround: If you want to use Wi-Fi they will use a combination of WiFi and GPRS/EDGE. For example when you try to use the BlackBerry GMail app from Google you will be able to install it halfway but when it tries to connect it will tell you, you need a connection. If you disable your data connection (GPRS/EDGE) you will get the same result and so on and so forth with different applications.

Initially I was looking to buy a smartphone from cellphone service providers. Now a days pretty much of them are making dataplan as mandatory. Then I found this unlocked phone in Amazon, price seems to be acceptable compared of other websites. I never had problem with any of the Amazon site products. So I ordered one.

BBPearl is very stylish phone, has all the necessary features, I liked the keypad size, feature to connect Wifi and display. It requires extra care since even small scratch will spoil the look of it. Especially if you are person like me who doesn't like wrapping cell phone with protection covers.

When I received the package, cell phone package was littlebit dusty but inside all the items were wrapped in covers, everything was clean and working fine. Note that phone has a cellphone service provider logo on it and also hands free ear buds are bigger is size.

to make the purchase, there were delays in delivery. the seller is irresponsible not to send the invoice with the team. more disappointment when I opened the package and:

1. IT'S NOT A ORIGINAL BOX OF BLACKBERRY.. IS A COPY BOX
2. THE EQUIPMENT IS REMANUFACTURED, IN THE PUBLICATION INDICATES THAT IS NEW
3. THE PHONE SOFTWARE IS OLD.

THE OEM SHOP IS A SIMPLIFY A LIE

I got this as an upgrade for my Motorola Razr V3t. Initially I liked this phone, the UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access) was a huge win for me, as I have crummy cell coverage at home and at work, but great 802.11b/g/n at both locations. The predictive text is nice.

But after the newness wore off, the more I began hating this phone. Here's why:

1) At least a 2-10 second pause when you're dialing a number before the phone responds, and even then it somehow drops a digit or two. You're just better off pressing a number, waiting for the phone to think about it, deleting the numbers, and then dial what number you wanted in the first place.

2) Battery life is miserable. The battery on the Razr lasted far longer than this--and it's a shame, especially when you look at the battery sizes.

3) Crashes frequently. It isn't a surprise anymore when I take the phone off the charger in the morning to find that I have to remove the battery and force a full reboot of the phone--and then the 15 minute wait for it to be usable.

4) Bluetooth
a)It died on this phone, and luckily it was under warranty from T-Mobile, so they replaced it--after a bit of fighting with them over it. (Included completely reloading the phone from a base image and so on..) Apparently it was a known issue by RIM (obvious on their forums), but no real action from them to fix it.
b) The amount of time it takes to sync with a paired headset is crazy slow. No other phone that I have used takes this long to sync with an already paired headset.

5) Boot times is crazy... my old 486 PC boots faster than this phone. And even then it's far more responsive than this phone.

6) Web-surfing over wi-fi is slow.
