My dad owns this phone and I think it looks great, but I can't help thinking the phone itsfelf feels cheep. The back panel that covers the battery feels very plasticy and loose. But perhaps that is just his. Overall the phone is very cool and nice to use, as well as reliable.

I had to take some time to figure out how all it works, considering 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.

just had me first 8110. it takes abit to get used to if you've never 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.
