Excellent

8.0

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 8.0 out of 10
Reviewed by Bonnie Cha
Review date: 12/17/07
Release date: 11/23/07

The good: The RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8130 adds built-in GPS, EV-DO support, and video-recording capabilities. The smartphone's Web browser is also improved, and it has a 2-megapixel camera. Sprint's version supports the carrier's various mobile entertainment services, and the device's messaging functions remain strong.

The bad: The BlackBerry 8130's SureType keyboard takes some acclimation. Video playback isn't the smoothest, and the various wireless options can take a toll on the battery life.

The bottom line: The RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8130 improves on an already-impressive smartphone with the addition of GPS, video recording, and 3G support.
