Got a used Pearl off eBay and am loving it!

I've had a 8330 for a year and a half now but I decided to get a 8130 when I saw it on eBay for only $50. So far I am loving the small form factor and the feel of the keyboard! It's nice that a phone that is so old is still a pretty good phone for messaging and email purposes. I love my BB's!

I currently have a Torch and every now and then I'll throw my sim card into my Pearl 8120.

I loved my 8120 too. It is still a great device.

I've had my 8130 for three years or so and still love it. I do want to get a new BB, but I'm not rushing!

As I wrote in the Crackberry Haiku thread in the off-topic discussion forum:

My carrier said,
"You can now upgrade your phone".
I still love my Pearl.

8110/8120/8130 are great devices. I can't say the same with the 8100 because is sooooo slow and the speaker is not good.

I had the 8100 for years. Its still in perfect working condition. Then I upgraded to the 8120

still such an awesome phone after all this time. I recently got an LG Optimus, but I am still using my 8120 as an emergency phone with a prepaid sim. Android phones are nice, but there are still some things they will never be able to out do the 8120 on! So I still use my bb for task manager, note taking and alarms. Even the battery is better lol And it is amazing that this model has such a long life-span. More proof that RIM is awesome cause this phone is still relevant in my life and I've been using BB Pearl since 2006.
