Blackberry Pearl 8100
While I've been a fan of technology for most of my life I've always been fairly conservative, especially when it came time to dishing out the big bucks for a new toy. I cannot recall ever wanting a new toy without waiting months or years before finally taking the plunge. Until, I saw the Blackberry Pearl 8100 at a Vodafone shop.
I knew from the moment I saw one, I had to bring one home. It truly is the first mobile device that brings email and phone functionality together without the brick look or weight. Not only is it sleek and sexy but it works.
At $699, the new Blackberry Pearl 8100 is not cheap. However, if you don't mind the plan you can pick one up for free from Vodafone on a 24 month business plan (like I did). Or if long term plans give you the shakes, then try one of the many online shops or comparison sites such as Shopbot. At the time of this post, phoneshop.com.au had the 8100 on for $579.42 AU.
