_it00.jpg) Well, this certainly isn't the best Pearl of the bunch. Though Sprint's Pearl does show signs of improvement over the first-generation GSM models, it has a few problems that would keep us from choosing it over other models. Most importantly, it was sluggish, and perhaps even buggy. Some Web pages refused to load at all, with no error or warning from the BlackBerry. Dealing with Sprint's music player was a real hassle, and diminished the added value of having the Sprint Music Store on board. Don't get us wrong, we liked the improvements, like the slight graphical upgrade and the ports for a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSDHC card. But the same can be found elsewhere, without the problems. Release: November 2007. Price: $200.
Pros: Interface just a bit prettier. Very good call quality. Great scheduling options
Cons: Sluggish phone. Web pages load slowly, GPS tracks slowly, music playlist populates slowly.
