The Blackberry 8120 is a stylish smartphone that scores in many aspects. Be it the functional design, the business functionality or the multimedia features, Blackberry Pearl 8120 is definitely a good phone. Every feature as well as every part of the design of the phone has been well-thought of before assimilating the final product. For a great phone like this, things could have definitely been better with 3G connectivity. The web browser could have definitely been better as it mars all other functionalities of the phone. Let’s check out a review of the Blackberry 8120 mobile phone.
Design
Slim, sleek, stylish and lightweight; the Blackberry Pearl 8120 is definitely an impressively designed mobile phone. It weighs a mere 91 grams and fits easily in your palm as well as your pocket. The body of the mobile is quite streamlined and ergonomically designed. The 240 x 260 pixel TFT display is clear and crisp, enabling easy viewing of all the applications on the phone. The screen is quite clear which enables quality viewing of videos. Instead of the full length QWERTY keyboard, the 8120 has a dual input keypad; each key shares two letters and has been laid out in the same format as other QWERTY keypads.
Features
The Blackberry Pearl 8120 has a dedicated media player that plays almost all popular audio as well as video formats. The video playback is exceptionally good and the images are pretty sharp. The audio is quite clear and the only flaw is the lack of landscape viewing option. There is a 3.5mm headphone jack which allows you to make use of your own good quality headphones. But its location on the side makes it difficult to slip it comfortably in the pocket while listening to music. The microSD slot is positioned aptly on the side, instead of under the battery like in the 8100. The mobile phone has a 2 mega-pixel camera and the pictures could have been better had the focus been sharper. The Blackberry 8120 also has a Facebook application which allows the user to click and upload images on Facebook without having to open the browser and waste time.
