BlackBerry 8100 Pearl Review

The Blackberry 8100 Pearl offered by CellularOne is essentially the same as all of Pearls in the market place. The Blackberry Pearl in itself, is a phone that has been designed for those of us who want more "looks" and features for our Blackberries. The Pearl includes a nice camera, which is a first for blackberries, a removable MicroSd memory card slot, bluetooth technology, and a built in music player. One of the most notable changes would be the replacement of the Track Wheel with a Pearl like track ball located in the center of the phone. While this may hard for current Blackberry users to get used to, rest assured that navigation throughout the phone is not compromised with the addition of the track ball and it's actually a nice little addition.

The Blackberry Pearl is a GSM based phone, so do expect it to be released for various other GSM carriers such as T-Mobile, At&t , and Suncom and also expect the 8100 Pearl to have a large selection of accessories readily available at AccessoryGeeks.com

Nokia 6300 from CellularOne

Ultimately, no mobile phone is ever the best. As mobile technology advances, better mobile phones are produced. So it all boils down to superb functionality at a low price. CellularOne offers such combination through the Nokia 6300. A Nokia mobile phone for less than a hundred bucks, expect that you will get much.

The Nokia 6300 employs the classic candy bar degn which is easy on the eyes and at the same time, provides a firm grip for its users. But if you're looking for too much features in this phone than what you really need, understand that the Nokia 6300 is first and foremost, a phone. Its bread-and-butter is to receive and make calls. The sound clarity is above average, offering you a more than decent performance on the conversation side. If it’s any consolation, the 6300 can play songs on mp3 and wma formats. The picture quality is also good. The Bluetooth connectivity allows users to engage calls and listen to music using Bluetooth headsets, and do other Bluetooth-related activities.

The only downside of this mobile phone is that the outer case is less than durable. But you can always get Nokia accessories if you want to change the looks and further enhance the protection level of your phone.

Missing My L6

I used to own a Motorola L6 from Cellular One once and I just have to say I had both good and bad times with this mobile phone. I just like the fact that it's not A RAZR, though there are similarities in their interface construction. Also, my L6 was given to me as a present, so there is what we call a 'sentimental value' attached to it. But sad to say, I had to part with my Motorola L6 when I need to upgrade to an advanced mobile phone.
I really had a hard time packing up all those Motorola cell phone accessories I have purchased throughout my time with my L6. I had customized cell phone cases of different designs and a couple of cell phone batteries I bought when my L6 accidentally fell to the floor. I did have my share of signal nightmares where I have to get to the roof in order for me to catch some reception.
Sure, I miss my L6. But life has got to go on, right?
