you can use a 4gb memory card and the 2.0 mega pixel camera is very good. Takes great pictures! The video recording is updated from the 8100 seeing that it didnt have it so it is a better step up.

got this phone about a week ago. i use to have 8100 pearl for a year and loved it. this phone is great and would get it with my eyes closed i would give it 9 out of 10 for this phone. key pad is much better than 8100 and quality is great.

I'm not sure what the one gentlemen was talking about saying that there are only 50 apps for this device. The SDK is fairly well created and there are hundreds upon hundreds of java apps available for the pearl, ranging from games to organizers to efficiency programs and other tools. I for example have a detailed stock ticker on mine.

Windows mobile still has too many bugs, i'd rather wait until WM 7 or 8 arrives and i thoroughly test it before purchasing. If you want a 'Business' phone, stick with RIM or the nokia's N series.

just a response to some of the posts below:

*Yes this phone does ring and vibrate at the same time.

*The call quality is super, no adverse effects even when the volume is maxed. Infact, I'd say the call quality is very clear. I think maybe you encountered a bad batch of phones.

On a side note, the loudspeaker quality is quite good and for those who want to get a phone that can ring loud and play MP3's through the stereo loudspeakers with good quality, you might want to think of this as a cheaper alternative of the N95. It does not have an equilizer setting like the N95 but the sound is crystal clear through the speakers.

This device also gives an outstanding performance when listening through a decent pair of headphones to your MP3's.
again, the volume can be turned up quite loud.

Video playback is of high quality.

I'm rather impressed with the battery life so far. It does'nt take long to charge the battery to full.

8120 is a very cool phone. i work for tmobile and got to play with it a few days ago when it came in to the store. havent released it as of yet but its very similar to the bb curve minus the full key board. the one thing that makes me jelous of this phone is the video camera. if the curve had the video feature on it it would be a complete phone. but i would sugest this phone to anyone who was looking for a nice phone!
