So is this just a big Pearl without a camera??
Pretty much…
whats the screen res?
What’s so great about the 8800 that’s so much better than the pearl. I mean the pearl is smaller and more sleek which makes it so much better than any of the blackberrys in the past. Please tell me why I would want to upgrade.
Well Anthony, the BlackBerry 8800 isn’t really an upgrade to the BlackBerry Pearl. It basically is the camerless, QWERTY, corporate version of the Pearl.
