AT&T BlackBerry 8110 Unboxing
You know we had to go and do it! In all honestly though, not that much is of interest with the new BlackBerry 8110. If you’ve been a die-hard Pearl user since the beginning and are in love with that SureType thing, you’ll most likely want to refresh your pocket with the 8110, but for newcomers in this area, it might not be what you’re looking for. For anyone that’s been following, the updated Pearl lineup includes a refined keyboard, external MicroSD slot, video camera, and a couple other features. Our recommendation is to stick to a Curve and hope RIM releases that 4.5 OS soon. That way you can make fun of all the Pearl people that bought it just so they could record video on their BlackBerry. We got a titanium version in hand, but it does come in a crimson red color as well. You know, in case you’re into that sort of thing. Hit the gallery for the unboxing pics!

im sorry whats the point of this? its just another pearl. they can change the insides all they want but its the same EXACT phone outside. I really dont get the point of the unboxing of another boring pearl.
Rim better step it up in terms of form factor otherwise they are limiting to one kind of user.
theres a reason windows mobile is kicking their ass with what some call a “less stable OS”

Blackberry OS is more stable. This is not the same exact phone. Did you not read the article?
@Galvatron, shut up!

its the same phone stop lying. a refined keyboard does not make something any diff when it looks exactly the same how many of these stupid phones are there. 8100 8120, 8110 8130 am i missing any its annoying. its almost like moto with the stupid razr.

I recently picked up an 8120 to try. And while the UMA isn’t really helping me much, I’m begining to really appreciate the new P2. It’s much more refined than the 8100, and I think it’s worth the upgrade just for that.
If you’re not a SureType fan, then just move on. This is my 6 BB, and while I tried the Curve, once you get used to ST, it’s just no use trying to go back to a full qwerty.

I updated to the 8120. My wife has a Curve and frankly I like the smaller form factor. It is musch sleeker, plus I can laugh at everyone now because I do have 4.3!

BG,
You must have heard or maybe read that BELL MOBILITY launched the BlackBerry 8330 CDMA CURVE on April 11th. And TELUS launched it on April 8th. Also that it has OS 4.3.
How come I haven’t seen any mention on BGR? Don’t you care about passing on this info to your Canadian readers?
Keep on Crackin’,
- BG
