BlackBerry Pearl 3G review: Live Q&A this afternoon!

UPDATE: Our BlackBerry Pearl 3G Q&A has wrapped, but you can check out the liveblog in full here. We’ll be back with a full review tomorrow, but if you have any more questions, head on through and jot them down in the comments!

Our BlackBerry Pearl 3G smartphone has slid through the letter box ready for the full review treatment. We’ll have the full lowdown on the first ‘Berry with a 0-9 keypad in our in depth review tomorrow, but we’re doing things a little differently this time: at 1pm today, we’ll be holding a live Q&A for absolutely any and every burning question you have about the phone. What do you want to know?

The BlackBerry Pearl 3G is certainly an impressive performer for something so small – from our first few hours with it it appears to easily match the powerhouse BlackBerry Bold 9700 for speed.

But does anyone looking for that sort of horsepower really want to drop the QWERTY keyboard? We’ll be answering that and any other pressing issues you have with the BlackBerry Pearl 3G at lunchtime – just look for the liveblog at the top of the homepage then.

In the meantime, enjoy these quick photos of the BlackBerry Pearl 3G doing its thing and sucking down internet and email. See you at 1pm!

    How big is the keyboard? And what’s the predictive text like without all the extra letter keys? Is it T9?

  • Gherkin

    Oh, and is that the new BB OS?!

      Afraid not! It’s BlackBerry OS 5.0, like the Bold 9700. We’ve asked RIM execs about whether an upgrade will be available, but had no comment so far, so we wouldn’t bet on it.

  • Gherkin

    Damn. So it’s a normal blackberry. Except it’s got normal number keys?

    • http://www.electricpig.co.uk Ben Sillis

      Yup – though you could say that 3G isn’t yet par for the course for all BlackBerrys, and it has that. Check back at 1pm and we’ll answer every question you have in much more detail.
