Review of the Blackberry Pearl for No Contract Verizon Cell Phones
The Blackberry Unlocked Phones model Pearl is a new and very popular Blackberry cell phone that recently began flooding the marketplace. Smaller than the original Blackberry, the Blackberry Pearl is smaller and easy to carry around. Although it was originally released in 2006 by T-Mobile as a camera phone, Verizon Wireless is now offering it to its subscribers as a Smartphone (because that’s what it really is). It has all of the features of the original Blackberry but on a smaller scale sizewise. It has not only Internet and e-mail capabilities, but it is great as a music phone as well.
Though the Blackberry Pearl is not the newest entry into the world of mobile devices and cell phone technology, it deserves to be recognized among the newer phones because of its recent recognition as a Smartphone. It has all of the features of the original Blackberry and has capabilities of a camera phone, cell phone and music cell phone. It is not any of the features alone that make the Blackberry Pearl such a great mobile device but rather the combination of all of the features packed into a small package that makes the difference. If you’ve thought about a Blackberry and use a GSM service or Verizon Wireless (but not No Contract Sprint Cell Phones) but didn’t want a bulky phone, the Blackberry Pearl is certainly the phone for you.

A little on the history of the BlackBerry name:
The company RIM settled on the name of “BlackBerry” only after weeks of work by Lexicon Branding Inc.. The Lexicon Branding Inc. company is a Sausalito, California-based firm that named both the Intel Corp.’s Pentium microprocessor and Apple’s PowerBook (2 outstanding and very popular names). One of the product naming experts at Lexicon Branding Inc. thought the miniature buttons on RIM’s new product line looked like the little seeds found in strawberries. Then a linguist at Lexicon Branding Inc. thought straw was too slow sounding, when someone else suggested blackberry, and voila the name was born and RIM went for it. Previously the device was being called LeapFrog, due to the fact that the technology was leaping over the competition.
