Bought a Telus BlackBerry Pearl 8130 this morning

[ofelas]

Picked it up this morning, this will replace her V3Cm.
Seems more sturdy than the GSM Pearl 8100 + this has the MicroSD slot on the OUTSIDE - nice touch!
Here it is -

Bla1ze - I'll be happy to take macro shots of the screen in a couple hours max after the missus does her "oohs & aahs" & fires it up for the first time (right now I put everything back in the box & gift wrapped it.)

what kind of charger comes with it? it says "travel charger" on some sites but i don't know if that means car charger or the smaller ones that plug in the wall that most phones come with

[deggyfresh]

yummy i want, that IS the pearl 2 right?

[Kevin Michaluk]

Yeah..That's the 8130 aka Pearl 2...

NICE Pic! Let's see more pics and a review!!!!

[deggyfresh]

thanks kev...you rock.

Hi folks...sorry for the delay, went out for supper.

Please excuse the pics, dim lighting, but I got close enough for y'all to see the details.

The images don't do this Pearl-2 justice, it really is a little jewel.

Haven't really used it yet, except for voice, seems clear & static free; will leave the user review to someone else unless someone wants to meet up locally in the next day or so (will only be in Montreal/Canada a couple days more).

Three more -

The charger is the wall mounted A/C unit exactly like those of other BlackBerrys & Motorola phones...it's a "travel charger" because the prongs fold up to lie flat on the small unit as opposed to the bulkier desktop chargers.
