RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8100 Cell Phone

Pros: Lightweight, attractive, works well, feature packed

Cons: Weak battery life and screen smudges easily

The Bottom Line: The Blackberry Pearl is as good as it gets in the smart phone arena. At least until later this year.

Review: The Blackberry Pearl is the coolest phone around - at least until the Apple iPhone comes out later this year. The Pearl is small, sleek, easy to use, fun, and works great! Aside from that, it's a Blackberry, so it does a great...

Pros: Easy Set Up Good enough quality and speed for at home use.

Cons: I don't like the paper tray

The Bottom Line: I was happy with HP before. I'm happy with this inexpensive PSC for quality and ease of use.

Review: Except for the brief use of a Dell 720 in my household that my daughter took up to school we have had excellent use of Hewlett Packard's HP722c printer for many, many hard years of labor in our home. We loved the machine but it finally died about a...

Pros: easy to set-up, easy to use, great multimedia features, very speedy device, not too expensive

Cons: not many

The Bottom Line: Simple, and easy to use, the Palm TX is a great device for both the technologically savvy as well as the beginner to handheld devices.

Review: I have been using a Palm TX handheld on the job, for many different functions, and have come to really enjoy using them. My experience with handheld devices is fairly limited, having only really used one other model in the past five years. In the...

Pros: Fast printing; superior output; small footprint.

Cons: Cost of supplies.

The Bottom Line: If you or your family is in need of a solid, reasonably priced, small footprint personal color printer look no further then the HP Photosmart C3180 All-In-One Inkjet printer.

Review: My youngest daughter has been after me to get her own printer for almost a year now; heretofore she has been sharing my HP Officejet 7130. I limit what she can print and she doesn t like that one bit. So when I purchase my new HP dv9000z...

Pros: Incremental but significant improvements in all important smart phone functions

Cons: Really small - probably too small for some users

The Bottom Line: A nice step up for some BB users, but possibly too much of a good thing for others

Review: My first BlackBerry blew. My second BlackBerry was a significant improvement, but certainly not without...

Pros: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, beautiful screen, stable OS, light/compact, cool design, lots of included software

Cons: no cradle, no voice/mic input, no vibrate, Bluetooth 1.1, battery non-user replaceable

The Bottom Line: It's a firm upgrade for my Tungsten T and for the price point, you get a lot of rich features that previous Palm PDA's didn't have.

Review: I purchased a Palm Tungsten T several years ago and it's in dire need of a replacement. Every time I turn it on, the digitizer needs to be recalibrated and it's getting tedious. For those who don't know what that is, think of when you sign those...

Pros: Smart, compact and very reliable, and SO EASY to use.

Cons: The greasy screen, the low battery life, so-so camera.

The Bottom Line: Excellent as your first, entry level Blackberry, great as a phone. No good for people that type a lot.

Review: Being a first time Blackberry user (finally!), I was not too thrilled when our company CEO announced that we were all switching to Blackberry devices at the end of 2006. I just found it spooky to see all those guys poking incessantly at their little...

Pros: Good quality printing. Inexpensive. Easy to set up.

Cons: None so far!

The Bottom Line: A great 3 in one printer, scanner and photocopier which does all 3 jobs effectively and gives good quality prints.

Review: My old printer, an Epson C42 which came free when I bought my first PC almost 4 yrs ago finally gave up the battle and has gone to that great printer heaven in the sky ok slight exaggeration I donated it to the computer department of my college, for...

Pros: Friends & Family Plan Compatible; Small & Lightweight; Durable; Great Reception; Great Color Screen

Cons: Not for Large Hands

The Bottom Line: Not for someone who just wants to make telephone calls, this is a powerful PDA that has so much to offer.

Review: OUR EXPERIENCE
We just updated the entire family s handsets getting ready to add the Friends and Family Plan to our T-Mobil Service. It was necessary because none of our old phones were compatible with this service. Our youngest son, a...

Pros: Small sexy phone with BB functions, Good battery life.

Cons: Poor reception, Lousy firmware, Complicated phone for basic user.

The Bottom Line: I think RIM rushed this phone to the market too soon. It needs a little help and quality is not satisfactory.

Review: Preface: I am a gadget guy and a cell phone hound. I typically get a new phone every 4-6 months. I've also pretty much been on every type of network. Currently I work at a T-Mobile store and pulled this phone out of inventory to use as my demo line...
