This major update to the popular 7105t brings the Blackberry experience to a whole new level. Here are 10 reasons to buy the RIM Blackberry Pearl.

1. The Camera.

The Blackberry Pearl includes a 1.3-megapixel camera that features an LED flash, 5 times zoom and white balance controls. This is the first Blackberry to include a camera, and whilst at 1.3 Megapixel it is not as advanced as others on the market, it takes a great little photo and is a long overdue addition to the Blackberry.

2. MP3 Player.

This model includes other consumer features including an Mp3. The Blackberry music player supports playback of your tunes in MP3, AAC, AAC+, and eAAC+ formats. The handheld is also compatible with Java application and game downloads. You can create playlists as folders and shuffle and repeat songs within a certain folder. It also displays some track information, such as title, artist, and album art if available.

3. Expandable Memory.

Now that you can listen to your mp3’s on the go with your Blackberry you are going to need somewhere to store all your favourite songs, not just a few of them. The blackberry Pearl also sports a memory card slot.

This is the first blackberry to include this feature.

4. Size and Design.

The Blackberry Pearl is sleek and stylish unlike typical business smartphones. At a form size of 4.2 by 2.0 by 0.5 inches; 3.1 ounces, the Pearl fits easily into a pocket or handbag, and unlike previous Blackberry models it does not look over-sized and silly when making calls. The Pearl is smaller than the Treo and Sidekick smartphones. It has a glossy black and chrome finish and will appeal to business users and general consumers alike.

5. The Screen.

The Blackberry Pearl sports a 2.25-inch TFT screen that displays 65,000 colors at a 240×260-pixel resolution. The screen is super sharp, clear and is reminiscent of a miniature plasma screen television. It is great for viewing emails and web browsing. Also included is light-sensing technology so the Pearl will adjust its brightness based on the conditions you are in.

6. The Pearl.

Gone is the classic Blackberry trackwheel. This phone features a trackball below the screen (The Pearl). The Pearl is easy to use and allows for 4 way scrolling. Its sensitivity can be adjusted and when pushed in, it acts as a select button. Whilst Blackberry users who are used to the trackwheel might initially experience some difficulties adapting to the Pearl it is very easy to adapt to. New Blackberry users will quickly take to it.

7. Maps

The Pearl is also the first Blackberry to come with a map application. Blackberry Maps provides local maps and allows you to get text-based driving directions straight to your Blackberry.

8. Email.

This is the feature that made the Blackberry so popular from the beginning. You can sync with your company’s server with support for Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino, or Novell GroupWise to deliver corporate e-mail in real time (Push email).

You can also support up to 10 POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail accounts.

The email set up wizard is very quick and simple to use.

9. Voice Dialling.

The Blackberry Pearl now offers voice dialling so you can set up voice commands for your contacts and use them to dial numbers.

10. Use it with a Mac.

The Blackberry Pearl is the most stylish smartphone on the market, so it makes sense to want to use it with the most stylish computers on the market. This can be done using a program called Pocketmac. Pocketmac is the first program to allow Mac users to sync their crucial data between their Blackberry device and Entourage, Address Book, iCal, Now Contact, Now Up-To-Date, and even Stickies.

The Sony Ericsson P990i is a Smartphone for tech savvy consumers and professionals. At the first glance, the P990i looks similar to the P900 as it bears a strong resemblance to earlier handsets in the same series. The wide array of features include text and multimedia messaging, notepad, a voice recorder, a stopwatch, and a full Opera web browser.

To get your emails straight to your phone, the P990 also supports push e-mail for the BlackBerry via the BlackBerry Connect solution; you can also connect via SMTP, IMAP4, and POP3 accounts. The 2 mega pixel camera comes with an autofocus, digital zoom, photo light and the bright TFT screen and video recording provide an excellent imaging experience. With a macro mode, autofocus, flash and a decent range of filters, the handset offers fairly good quality snaps.

The tri-band P990i runs on the much-anticipated Symbian 9.1 Operating System. It is one of the few capable Wi-Fi-capable handsets. For connectivity, Bluetooth, infrared and Wi-fi are all present.

There is an internal memory of 80MB, stereo FM radio with RDS (Radio Data System); and a supplied 64MB Memory Stick PRO Duo. The integrated music player supports MP3, AAC, AAC+, and WAV files. You would be pleased with the music player’s interface, particularly with how easy it was to scroll from one song track to the next one. For business users, there is a PDF reader, Quick Office reader and editor for Microsoft word and excel documents. Battery life is impressive with talk time of 9 hours up to 16 days of standby time. Another impressive feature of the handset is that it includes a Task Manager which is designed to allow you both to switch between opened applications and closed applications.

Overall, the Sony Ericsson P990i is an amazing little device with a lot of innovative features.

You can turn almost any picture you see on the Web into your next Apple wallpaper.

This is your first step – getting the pictures to use onto your computer.
In your search, you will find that some websites do not allow you to just take their photos off their site for your own use. In their webpage coding, they have disabled right-clicking on their page.

Out of a billion sites or so that are on the Web, you are sure to find some you like for your Apple wallpapers on the websites that do allow right-clicking.
Another way to collect pictures to use for your wallpapers is to do a search for the sites which provide downloads of photos to use as Apple iPhone wallpapers. Some of these are free, and some cost you some money.

Now tap the PHOTOS icon on your iPhone and you will see all your new photos.
Go to your SETTINGS menu. Tap on the WALLPAPER icon. Again, you will see all your photos displayed. Choose a photo that you want to use for your Apple wallpaper. Tap OPTIONS. Tap USE AS WALLPAPER.
Now you can drag your photo around on your screen, or zoom in or out to position it however you like. To zoom in, just tap the photo with two quick taps. When it zooms in, do the same and it will zoom back out again. When you are happy with how it looks, then tap SET WALLPAPER.

That’s it! You now have a new wallpaper on your Apple iPhone.
