Blackberry Pearl Software

First off, be sure to read my earlier posts for my review of the Blackberry Pearl and also links to great deals on Blackberry Pearl Accessories and Handsets.

Now that you can take photos on your Blackberry you're gonna need some photo software. When it comes to editing and sharing digital photos Google's Picasa is great. It is free to download and is so easy to use. Picasa's tagline is 'It's what should have come with your digital camera' and they are right.
A link to Picasa can be found above where you can download it.

Handsets on eBay are such a good deal, just make sure you check out the sellers feedback and buy from someone trusted. And if you aren't with T-Mobile, make sure that the phone is unlocked. I had to ask 4 sellers about that before I found one that was unlocked. Don't just assume, you would be surprised how many sellers simply neglect to mention that the phone is locked to a particular network.

Amazon.com Has a very good deal on the Blackberry Pearl too, the price is a low $99 for the phone but you have to sign up to a T-Mobile plan to get it. You can't buy the Blackberry unlocked from Amazon as yet but if you are looking to buy through T-Mobile then they offer a pretty good deal, it is in stock and you can get free shipping on it.



In terms of accessories, I recommend getting a good carry case. There are so many to choose from, ranging from traditional, black cases to pink cases with various characters on them. I choose to go with a fairly traditional leather case. Depending on what your handset came with, it might be worth while picking up a handsfree headset.
