BlackBerry Pearl 8100 Cell Phone Review
Friday, May 18th, 2007
Recently, our company has invested in providing a BlackBerry Pearl 8100 to all of the technicians. At first, I have to admit, I was skeptical about the whole concept. My skepticism came in many areas….how can my fat fingers and thumbs work the keys? How accessible do I really want to be? After using an Axim for a few years, how will I get along without Word and Excel? These were just a few of my initial concerns.
After I got it, I discovered a few really great features and I have to admit, I’m really warming up to the little device and its making my life a little bit easier. One of the main requirements for purchasing the BlackBerry was to have immediate access to customer support emails. As a technician, I’m not always in front of Outlook or Webmail, so I need to know if someone’s having a problem. This is one of the areas where this little device has become a major tool in my IT toolbox. I have to admit, it took a little playing and customizing to get it exactly where I wanted it to be.
