Blackberry Pearl 8120

When Blackberrys were still primarily business devices, they used to be the preserve of expensive business tariffs, but not any more. You can now pick up a Blackberry 8120 on Orange Pay-as-you-Go, and it'll only set you back £145. The candybar-shaped phone measures 107x50x14mm and weighs in at only 90g, making it perfectly pocketable. It’s a Blackberry that you won’t mind taking out with you in the evening. Overall then, the Blackberry Pearl 8120 is very pleasant to use. It can’t compete with serious smartphones for web-browsing, but it can have a good go at that and at general multimedia too, and all the while being a serious email tool. Ultimately, if you’re on a contract there are better options out there, not least the Blackberry Bold 9000. But if a cheap-to-run Pay-as-you-go Blackberry appeals, then the 8120 will serve you well.
