When RIM released the first BlackBerry Pearl, it officially made the transition from a business device to one of the most popular mobile phones on the market.

With the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 you get WiFi, which is almost a necessity when you buy a mobile phone. With WiFi you can make unlimited calls when near a hotspot, as long as the feature is part of your calling plan.
The BlackBerry has always been a phone with its focus on email and text messages, which is why its not surprising that the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 would feature a great keyboard, and although it is not a full QWERTY keyboard, it is fairly easy to use.
You will get a slightly upgraded 2-megapixel camera, and now it will also take video, which is something that the original Pearl did not do. This camera won’t be able to compete with other mobile phones that put a lot of emphasis on the camera, but it does do okay for quick snapshots when you need it. You can share your pictures and video by way of instant messaging. You can also post to Social Networking sites like Facebook.
