BlackBerry handhelds havent quite acquired the iconic status of the iPod, but the design remains unmistakable. Lately, however, maker RIM (Research In Motion) has been making the devices sleeker and easier to carry. The latest BlackBerry has seen i...

Finally, a BlackBerry that appeals to the regular consumer. The Pearl is an excellent device that sacrifices none of RIMs famous email functionality while still managing to provide a compact and light form factor and multimedia capabilities.

First up, youve got the design. If youve passed on previous models because of their utilitarian looks and lacklustre appeal, then be prepared to look again. This model has style through and through, from its slim 1.3cm depth to its chrome-effect fi...

Pearl is the best BlackBerry yet. Full stop. It does everything RIM is famous for - seamless email and communication - and packs it into the same space as a normal mobile phone. Throw in the easy-to-use roller ball navigation and a built-in camera and...
