Comparisons Featuring BlackBerry Pearl 8100
Short Review
- The BlackBerry Pearl 8100 features a compact design with dimensions of 107 x 50 x 14.5 mm and a weight of 89.5g, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 2.2-inch display supports 65K colors with a resolution of 240 x 260 pixels, providing decent clarity for its time.
- Performance is driven by a 32-bit Intel XScale PXA272 CPU running at 312 MHz, paired with 64MB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- The camera is limited to a 1.3 MP rear sensor without optical image stabilization or video capabilities, and there is no front-facing camera.
- The 900 mAh battery offers basic longevity but lacks fast charging or wireless charging options.
- Running on BlackBerry OS, the device is tailored for messaging and productivity but lacks modern features like WiFi or 5G connectivity.
- Bluetooth 2.0 is available for wireless connections, though it is outdated by current standards.
- The phone is offered in black, white, and red, providing limited color choices.
- There are no stereo speakers or headphone jack, which may limit audio options.
- Overall, the BlackBerry Pearl 8100 is a basic device focused on communication rather than multimedia or advanced features.
