BlackBerry 8110 Review
Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: If email on the go is your top priority, and
you don't like the size and weight of the big BlackBerries, then the
8110 could be a good choice. However, the 8110 lags behind other smartphones
when it comes to most features, and it isn't the easiest phone to use
either. Available in Black, Red or Pink.

I've owned my pearl 8110 for six months and its worked flawlessy in
that time. £89 on payg with a years free blackberry email & internet
on BIS was a steal. It's not a high spec BB but fully encrypted push
email works great,GPS and blackberry maps work great(try the POYNT app!)GPRS/EDGE
data rates are fine and fast enough for any browsing. I've had use of
higher spec BB's but this one is the only one i've known that never
needs resetting. The music player is also very cool,load up a micro
sd card and you have tunes on the move in high quality. The battery
life is extremely impressive. The camera is probaly the only weak point
but its primarily a communication device, not a camera/video recorder.
The memory cleaning option keeps my phone in tip top condition and it
never bogs down. It's obsolete now but if you are a 'crackberry' you
wont find a cheaper or more cheerful Blackberry to get you started.
I'll be upgrading to a 9300 later this year when my free airtime expires

When it works, the BB pearl is a very good phone. However, the constant
freezing and need to re-boot almost every day is a disgrace. T-Mobile
where I bought it from are no help at all and tell me to just do a soft
re-boot, well ok guys, but not every day !!!! BB' s may not be so good
after all. Come on BB do something about this, starting with giving
me another BB model to prove that customer service really exists, or
not.

This is totally the worst phone ever made, it just freezes anytime,
even while I'm not using it. I wake up in the morning ad it is freezed.
Also it is slow. I would not recommend anybody to buy this junk, go
buy a nice Nokia and don't waste your time or your money. I totally
regret buying this phone. Also, the keyboard organisation SUCKS, its
really hard to adapt to the keyboard and the dictionary sucks. Camera
is very very poor quality, and also the microphone. THis is the worst
phone ever made. Don't buy this, for your own sake. Thank you for reading

Hello, it's me again. You know this phone constantly amazes me! At 1st
blush it appears so basic ( for a BlackBerry) and then I read how the
Nokia E63/71 locks up/sends texts without the owner knowing it/etc,
etc. I tell myself to be contented. Think I'll hold onto this and just
get a bigger ( 4gb ) sd card. Let's see. My 8110 does, 1) push mail.
2)Internet access. 3)CUSTOMIZABLE fields in Contacts. 4)Search by category
w/in Contacts(EZ setup 1st). 5)Genuinely MULTI-TASKS. 6)BONUS decent
Music/Movie player w/a Universal EarPhone plug size. As well as a std
mini USB inlet for connecting to my PC AND charging. ( good thinking
RIM) And no, I have no affiliation with these people. I just LOVE it
when a product works, and stays out of my way. And has a bonus or 2!

I used the blackberry 8110 for some months. it was quite good and nice
size for me but it had a problem with the low memory manager. Texts
are sometimes deleted as soon as they come in or whenever. you'd have
to save a text message if it is urgent else it will get deleted. Also
the button used to scroll always messes up. Generally though, i enjoyed
it because i could check the internet whenever i wanted to.

does not last that long, but on this phone it can stay on standby for
about 360 hours which is very good so i give this phone 5 stars!!

Update: See below on May 29. Chad, Girl, Miz..... people, I don´t
know what to say. My 8110 is a really neat bit of Kit. There ARE more
capable pieces out there, but mine has only once locked up. Right now
I´m jamming on Dr Dre/Tupac, I Hit the Red Phone button, switched
to contacts and filling in details on customers. Hit the BB button,
switched to Calender. Pussycats DOlls W/Busta R. are playing now. Multimedia
is okay. But this IS a BUSINESS/ Email piece. Like I said, neat bit
of kit. Does what I ask it to. Stays out of my way. 3-4 Programs/Apps
run at the same time. I don´t notice degration of performance.
My business depends on it. DOWNSIDE... No NATIVE S.Sheet other than
downloading one. Likely there are others I don´t know about. I
disagree with the autofill-in used by the system for guessing spelling.
SOME of the choices leave me speechless. DUMB. Up side..Downloads are
reasonably quick. There´s Opera for BB. But the native browser
( emocion ) suffices. Movistar ( I know... Telefonica ) has neat promos.
21 euros/mo. with all kinds of freebies 1st 3 months. ( LOVE competition)
Like I said. neat bit of Kit.

One of the best phones I have used to date. I usually change my phone
every few weeks but this is the one I have kept the longest out of everything
so far, even after an iphone! Email, facebook, gtalk, MSN and loads
of apps like twitter and weather, what more could you want. Piece of
advice for those who complain about lock ups and freezing, check in
options>status if you are showing less than 12mb then pull the battery
or use an app like quickpull to empty the cache and free up some memory.
With regards to youtube and streaming, its a 2G phone not 3G, why would
you want to. Blackberries like the storm or bold are better suited to
that due to the higher data speeds.

I have had the BlackBerry 8110 for around 6 months now and totally regret
buying it! The camera quality is awful at only 1.3mp. The phone is really
slow, and freezes after you've listened to 3 or 4 songs in a row. It
also freezes regularly at other times for no reason. This can be particularly
fustrating when in the middle of sending e-mails or texts and it all
disappears once you get back on it. I also have regular problems with
texting where I don't receieve my texts meaning I have to restart the
phone by taking out the battery for 2 mins and putting it back in. This
is annoying as don't always know when I'm not receiving texts!! I have
also had charging problems with it where it is unable to charge using
the charger so I have to use the USB lead on the computer. It sometimes
decides to do this randomly. I know a few other people with BlackBerry's
and they have the exact same problems with them being too slow & freezing
all the time and not being able to receieve texts. Without a doubt,
the worst and most unreliable phone I have ever purchased. I've had
so many problems with it it's unreal.

I recently got this phone from my employer for e-mail on the go and
such like. For three years prior to this, I have had a Nokia N70, a
phone which I loved, was easy and fun to use, and never once let me
down. This 8110 blackBerry thing I now have is an infuriating piece
of kit. (Rhyming slang). The user interface is apalling and difficult,
if not impossible, to customise. Do not get me started on the camera
quality though. It really is dreadful in this day and age to be presented
with something with such very, very poor quality reproduction. That
said, hosever, I have now got used to the keypad for texting etc, so
that really was just a learning curve. In my opinion, this device should
be taken back to the drawing board and re-thought.

Emails may take up to 10 hours to be displayed on the phone. Acts like
it is on drugs at times, vibrates when it should ring and vice-versa,
shuts off by its self, locks when it shouldn't, etc... Using this as
a modem works well, when it wants to. May work for hours or minutes
depending on its mood. One day I spent 3 hours trying to get the modem
to work and only 15 minutes was spent online. I think I got ripped.

The phone is pleasant to look at, and he email was very easy to set

you have to painfully and slowly scroll past. The screen is too small
to surf the internet on, and it seems to be very slow..... This phone
is still only suited to businessmen who wish to make calls and view
text only emails. I had to change this phone, as having this phone with
unlimited internet was a complete waste of money. Its technology feels

I am disappointed with this handheld. It has very bad network connection

uselessely complicated. The phone feels badly put together and with
cheap materials, I doubt it will last long. The qwert keypad is a good
idea, the predictive text with the possibility of switching between
languages is a useful feature. The one great asset of this phone is
the instant access to email, but it is hampered by the poor connection
to the network, and by the fact that the device is slow and sometimes
freezes. I think this a poor brother to the more professional Blackberrys,
not worth much.

This is the best phone ever! I love it. It is not cheap- feeling. It

dropped it and everything. Mine never scratches or breaks. The camera
is amazing. You can add multiple numbers per name and I don't think
there is a limit on characters. You need a microSD card to shoot video.
That is the ony setback I would recommend this phone to anyone.

this is my first smart phone. After a few days, I have been flying around
with it and all the email that I receive comes to me quickly.

i've had the pearl 8110 for a while from O2 as an upgrade. what a mistake.
initial investigation of it when i got home put me off trying to use
it more. it's rubbish! O2 installs very poor, rubbish, really slow and
clunky (must be beta) software. eg just for starters: bluetooth 'services'
only allows remote voice control (whatever THAT is) it does not allow
file transfer of files, so no pics, avi's or mp3 transfers to it from
my other phones and no hands free link up. the address book is bog primative.
very limited number of characters per entry, no multiple number entries
per name, no user defined ringtones per name. no picture per name, and
despite being promised that it was a brand new, all singing and dancing
phone, i notice in the text sms history there are texts dating back
to before i bought it from people i don't know! overall, what a load
of rubbish and a rip off. i have put my simm back in my other phone
now.

Love my blackberry, it's a quality phone. Vodafone Sat Nav is brilliant,
menus and applications work really well when you get used to them, So
if you get one take the time to get used to it before giving up!! The
QWERTY keyboard is excellent and makes texting and email so much easier
and faster. It looks great (mine is balck and looks really cool) and
it is fairly small in size, also the keys work well even though I've
got big hands.If you're thinking of this phone go for it, I was thinking
of a Sony Ericsson C902 as an upgrade but now I wouldn't be without
my Blackberry. IT'S OUTSTANDING !!!!

ive had this phone now for 3 months. i must admit when i first got it,
having been a sony ericsson addict for years, i screamed with frustration.its
an incredibly difficult phone to get your head around if its the first
time youve had a blackberry but i promise that if you persevere the
rewards are endless. its a sleek shiny phone which can send and recieve
email. its built in maps service is so much fun to use and you only
pay for your wap charges when using it. the only thing to remember when
buying this phone is that although its a beautiful pretty phone....it
IS a business phone and its more difficult to use the standard features
that are simple on other phones...like bluetooth. it has a qwerty keypad
,this is difficult to use at first but after the first 2 weeks you can
develop the ability to type on it at a super human speed and become
unable to text on someone elses phone. all in all id highly recommend
this phone to everyone young and old that has the patience to learn
new things as its just as reliable as my old ericsson and i just love
my blackberry....im even eyeing up new colours as i currently have the
blue one pictured above but id maybe like the pink or the red.

I got my phone this week and when i first used it I didn't like the
display on the phone. i thought it looked a bit old-fashioned however
with some few adjustments like adding a pretty-in-pink wall paper the
display is not that bad after all. it took some time getting used to
the QWERTY keyboard but its functionality is good especially with the
predictive texting. It is probably now easier and quicker for me to
text. I think the readibility of the text messages is a plus for the
phone and reduces the amount of time you spend when reviewing text messages
from the same person. on a first glance I wasn't particularly happy
with the phone but now i think I am falling in love with it. the color
pink is lovely and the overall delicate features and glossy image of
the actual handset makes it a bonus. plus it acts as a great fashion
accessory.

I like the look, the design, the readabililty of the email. I have to
say though I am hating how slow it is! It is forever hanging on various
applications, the little sand timer thing is forever showing, this phone
is more frustrating than windows vista! This is my 2nd 8110 after the
Vodafone sat nav application didn't work, the replacement doesn't work
much better but I cannot be bothered resending it back. Will wait for
a upgrade replacement and use my laptop for email as much as possible
as this phone is excrutiatingly painful. My score 1 out of 5. *

My wife has just had one of these in pink. She is Nokia through and
through, but I convinced her to go for something different. She says
its "the best phone ive ever had". Took a few days to get used to the
predictive text entry on the half size qwerty keyboard, but integration
with Outlook is fantastic. All in all a brilliant handset. Im off to
buy myself an 8120, so I can have wifi on it as well! The best Blackberry
tarrifs in the UK seem to be on O2 - £10 a month extra for unlimited
web browsing and blackberry instant email! Thoroughly recommended.

had one before ( like me) but i think we'll have some happy times together
once i've got used to it all. a little disapointed with the lack of
start up info with vodafone but otherwise very happy.

i got the blackberry in pink, and it is the hardest phone i have ever
used and ive had alot of phones in the past. To write a message to someone
u would of thought u go through messaging when i selected the name i
ended up ring the person every time, i had to go through the phone book
and as for typing a message it took about 10 minutes for 2 lines because
of predictive text and having to find the word. tones aren't very good
i never knew when i recieved a message. overall make sure that u can
use this phone before u keep it, i had to exchange it for a different
make.
