Amazon.com Product Description

This major update to the popular 7105 brings the BlackBerry experience to a whole new level. The BlackBerry 8100c Pearl is not only thinner and lighter, it also sports a memory card slot, a music player, and voice dialing. Other features, such as Bluetooth 2.0, EDGE high-speed data, and the popular SureType keypad make this a complete mobile office solution. And of course, legendary BlackBerry push email is fully supported on the BlackBerry 8100c Pearl.

Small, powerful, and great for getting shots on the go. Learn more about the 8100c Pearl (requires Flash)
Design
Like the BlackBerry 7105, the BlackBerry 8100c Pearl is a departure from the form factor of previous BlackBerry devices. This BlackBerry handset is far more phone-like, and RIM's engineers have managed to fit a QWERTY keyboard onto the handset's slim frame. Each button on the keyboard shares two letters and the unit automatically determines which letter is the intended one based on what it predicts you are trying to spell. This unique predictive text technology, known as SureType, makes the BlackBerry 8100c Pearl's handset's diminutive size possible. SureType also learns the words you use most often, further enhancing your typing speed.

The BlackBerry 8100c Pearl sports a large 240 x 260 screen that supports over 65,000 colors--plenty of real estate to view your emails, Web browser content, messaging sessions, and attachments. The venerable BlackBerry trackwheel has been replaced on this model with an innovative four-way trackball placed below the screen. On the rear of the handheld, you'll find a 1.3-megapixel camera and a self portrait mirror. The handheld's microSD memory card slot is located inside the device, behind the battery. There's also a standard 2.5mm headset jack that can be used with the included headset, as well as a mini-USB port for data connectivity.

Calling Features
All the calling capabilities folks have come to expect in a wireless phone are present in the BlackBerry 8100c Pearl. The handset's speakerphone makes it easy to use the device hands-free, or if you prefer, you can use a wireless headset via the BlackBerry 8100c handheld's built-in Bluetooth capability. A vibrating alert, speed dial, and a contacts list/address book (limited only by the unit's 64 MB of internal memory) are also included. Any of the phone's 32 included polyphonic ringtones can be used to create caller-specific ringers, so you can know who's calling without having to look at the handset. The unit comes with built-in ringtones, and more ringtones are available from Cingular's MEdia Net mobile Web service.

See the 8100c Pearl in detail (black version shown).
A new feature, speaker independent voice dialing, allows you to call contacts with the sound of your voice. No prior voice training is required; you can just say a contact's name to call them.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
While the BlackBerry 8100c Pearl is a different kind of BlackBerry device, it still delivers the legendary BlackBerry email experience. With BlackBerry service plans from Cingular, you can receive emails instantaneously from up to 10 email accounts (personal and enterprise). With BlackBerry push technology, you don't need to retrieve your email. BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and continuously connected to the wireless network, allowing you to be discreetly notified as new email arrives. Support is also built-in for viewing email attachments (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, WordPerfect, and PDF formats).

If your company has a BlackBerry Enterprise Server installed, you can take advantage of the power of wireless calendar synchronization. Your calendar events are exchanged wirelessly and automatically so that your desktop calendar and BlackBerry handheld calendar are synchronized. All your Outlook meeting requests, changes, and updates are instantaneously synchronized instantaneously with your desktop. Make meeting requests, invite new attendees, and more, all on your BlackBerry 8100c Pearl. Users without BlackBerry Enterprise Server support can manually sync with their desktop calendars and contacts via Bluetooth or USB using the included BlackBerry Desktop Software.

Use the BlackBerry 8100c handset's Web browser to access the Internet from the palm of your hand. Browse Web sites, get up-to-date stock quotes, read the latest news, check weather reports, and more--all at fast speeds, thanks to support for Cingular's EDGE high speed data network. Instant messaging and wireless messaging are also built into the BlackBerry 8100c Pearl. MMS messages can be received and forwarded (Cingular messaging charges apply).

The BlackBerry 8100c Pearl ships with a number of tools, including a calculator, a calendar, an alarm, and a to-do list.

Imaging and Entertainment
The BlackBerry 8100c Pearl really kicks the fun up a notch with the inclusion of a 1.3-megapixel camera that features an LED flash and white balance controls. How about some music? The handheld's 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 (available via the MEdia Net service).

Vital Statistics
The BlackBerry 8100c Pearl weighs 3.16 ounces and measures 4.2 by 2.00 by 0.57 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 3.5 hours of digital talk time and up to 360 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies. The phone comes with a one-year limited warranty.

Good phone, lousy pda functions.......2007-12-15

I have had this phone for about 4 months. The size is very good and it feels good in the hand. The phone and PTT functions work very well. The e-mail works as advertised. The browser also works well. I had hoped to use this in place of my PDA but found out it won't serve my needs. You can't really store word or excel documents on it. The sure type has never learned to make "OK" when I type those keys and correct it. I find I text less because it is too slow. You can't save often used text messages. When this dies I'll look into something else. In the past couple of weeks the phone has locked up 3 times. The battery must be removed to reset the phone.

Converted non-BlackBerry believer.......2007-12-07

I was the one to make fun of people addicted to their BlackBerrys, now I am one of them. The Pearl is the perfect size for all that it holds, it has great features and an awesome speaker phone.

FUN TOOL!.......2007-09-25

This phone is perfect for "adults" who need a smartphone but want the features of an I-POD. In my line of work I spend alot of time alone taking readings, so I like to listen to music while I perform these tasks. Before I used to have to carry an I-pod as well as my Treo. Not anymore. The music player quality sounds just as good as my I-pod, which by the way, stays in a desk drawer now. It has the best mobile e-mail, google maps, infospace, you name it. With the 2 gig micro. card I have 250+ songs, the full length movie "SE7EN" and numerous pictures on this phone. This is my first "Berry" and I love it.

Can't go Wrong.......2007-07-29

I was skeptical buying a phone from Amazon and if anyone else is do not worry about it. I bought this phone from Amazon and it was exactly as advertised. ATT sells this phone for $250 with a new 2 year agreement. Amazon sold it for $.01. The phone arrived brand new as described and quickly less than 3 days.

I took my sim card from my previous phone put it in the new phone and was making and receiving phone calls in under 5 minutes. If you are upgrading phones and eligible for a new phone go to Amazon first and see if the phone you like is available...you can't go wrong.

So-so phone........2007-07-01

First, the call quality is very good- much better than my Motorola SLVR v8. If you're looking for a good phone, with a few extra "smart phone" features, this is a good choice.

Some observations after owning this phone for 2 months:
1) SLOW. Everything about the phone is slow from the applications to the AT&T EDGE network. This is NOT a 3G phone, and it shows.
2) The size is great, small and lightweight
3) The software that syncs with your computer (I use a mac) is very good.
4) Scratches easily. The phone is plastic, and the color (including the fake metal) rubs or chips off.
5) It requires a blackberry data plan from AT&T. It is VERY expensive, and probably not worth it. If you complain enough to the AT&T reps, they will give you an unlimited smart phone plan for a quarter of the price.
6) You will want to install additional software like Google Maps.
7) The battery is not very good
8) The the media player is poor
9) The ringer is very quiet
10) The keyboard is very easy to use, after you get used to it.

My favorite phone to date.......2007-12-25

I'm one of those technophiles who always chases the latest and greatest in technology. This means I've been through A LOT of cell phones. In fact, I typically buy a new phone every 6 months or so, and the Blackberry Perl is my favorite cell ever. Finally RIM offers a great sleek form factor with great features.

RIM always stood out with their messaging capability, but that service came at the cost of clunky hardware with limited feature sets (ie. no camera, music, applications, etc). RIM stuck to their story "We design for corporate users" which left many of us longing for better phones.

Nothing is worse than having to lug reams of flip charts through the airport in order to have a meeting's results transcribed. In the past I would have to carry a separate camera with me all the time so I could take photos of my whiteboards and flip charts.

Evidently RIM has learned that the corporate market wants more than bulky featureless phones. The Perl has hit the mark. Slim, sleek, with a great interface and feature set.

A lot of reviewers don't like the keyboard, and neither did my Fiancee at first. However, I told her to give it some time to get used to, and now she loves it. (If you haven't used this style of keyboard before, this will be the biggest hurdle for you) Remember, the phone needs some time to build your custom word dictionary, and don't try to "out smart" the smart type feature.

I also love the voice recognition dialing that comes with the phone... Very cool.

My only complaint is how AT&T/Cingular & RIM rob you with the Enterprise service @ $50/month with no text messages. If your company doesn't use a Blackberry Enterprise Server you can get unlimited Internet for only $20 and check your mail via POP or IMAP. In either case, plan on spending a little extra if you want SMS and MMS messaging capability.

Nice design but seriously flawed.......2007-12-10

I first purchased the blackberry pearl through T-mobile in June of this year. A month later the speaker went out. I could only make or receive calls if I used the speakerphone...I managed to get a warranty replacement.

I month later my employer gave my a blackberry pearl for official use; two weeks later it crashed (wouldnt turn on.) I had to wait for 30 days before I got the warranty replacement.

Today my work blackberry pearl failed again; the speaker has gone out again..sigh...I have to say this is some real poor craftmanship.

I wonder if this is a problem specific to the pearl....anyways just thought id provide another data point for people considering buying it.

Guess I have to wait another 2 weeks before I get my replacement; thats 3 blackberry pearl's in less than 6 months..arrggg

Wait for next Pearl - this one has problems.......2007-09-07

While the Pearl shows potential, I am planning to return mine to AT&T within my 30-day evaluation period. This little BlackBerry shows a lot of promise but comes up short as being a reliable phone. This is my first BlackBerry, and even with its marvelous email functionality (bundled with AT&T's $29.99 data plan), I find this device cheaply built and finicky to use.

The durability of this unit leaves a lot to be desired. Like some of the cheapest phones on the market this unit features weak flimsy plastic casing. The unit feels like a toy in your hand, especially when removing the battery cover. An optional MicroSD card goes in this area so the battery compartment will need to be accessed over time.

Basic phone use is a problem. Battery life is nothing exciting. Like many other phones, the ring volume and call volume just isn't very loud, even at maximum. In noisy areas it becomes hard to have a normal phone call. The ringtone will not play simultaneously while the unit vibrates, so calls are often missed. Historically this has plagued all BlackBerry's. The "Vibrate+Tone" mode causes 1-3 vibrations before the ringtone begins. RIM has stated this may be fixed in upcoming units. Answering a call becomes even more difficult using AT&T's OEM leather case. The phone must be pulled out of the case before it can be used; the case has no holes for access while sheathed, or leaving the included headphone plugged in. Safely answering a call in a hands-free manner is near impossible and should not be performed with this phone especially if driving a car.

One of the features I was most excited about was the browser. While it offers some basic functionality, it is unable to utilize 90% of what's on the web. Most web sites will not function in this Java based browser, which does not begin to touch what might be accomplished on a device such as an iPhone. Graphics, sounds, music, animation, and Flash all don't work on the Pearl. You can do things like get directions and perform basic Google searches, which remains very useful, but forget any "fun".

If you can live with the cheap plastic build quality and are in need of email functionality in a small package you might want to consider this phone. Personally I cannot live with a device that is built like a toy and misses so many calls due to simple things like speakers that aren't loud enough and ringtones that cannot happen while the phone vibrates.

Amazing ... BUT..........2007-08-28

Feature packed phone that offers everything you would want in a phone in a compact design. I absolutely loved my phone, however, after only 4 months, the LCD developed a small crack in the screen. There is no explination for the crack as the phone has never been dropped, mishandled or misused. In fact, my phone is lightly used with maybe 600 minutes of talk time on it. The only explination I can come up with is the vibrate is rather violent. What you have to be cautious of is the fact that the manufacturer nor At&t will replace a cracked screen regardless of the reason. I believe there is a major design flaw in this phone that Blackberry and At&t are ignoring.

Amazing!!.......2007-08-11

This phone is simply amazing. I'm not a gadget freak & use the phone to make err... phone calls rather than using a multitude of features. The design & finish on this phone is amazing. Sound quality is excellent! Screen is very clear. Syncs very easily with Outlook etc. The sure type feature is very well done. Also note that there are no porting fees if you're new to Cingular/AT&T.
Finally,I bought the shield from shieldzone.com. It works like magic. I had a problem with all my other phones as I tend to keep it in the same pocket as my house key etc. Hence, all my phone got scratched pretty bad. But now with the little shield protecting my device, not a single itty-bitty scratch so far. Recommend the shield if you have the same scratch & paint chipping problem.

Stock battery works as expected.......2007-12-03

Works just like the one that comes with the 8800, 'cause it *is* the one that comes with the 8800. It would be nice if it had a higher power density (which is achievable using current technology) so that the 8800 would last a bit longer between charges. High capacity batteries are available (sadly, not at Amazon) but make the 8800 thicker with the included replacement back shell.

Disappointed.......2007-10-27

I paid extra to have the battery expedited to me, because I was leaving the country. Now I am overseas, and my battery is somewhere else. It was also sent to an address that I lived at in 2005, even though I changed that address in Amazon, and got a confirmation that it was changed.

Nice holster that is better than the standard one.......2007-12-05

This is a great holster. It's inexpensive and better looking and feeling than the standard one. You have to pull the Blackberry out a little in order to plug in the charger. Otherwise, it's a good value.

Best I've found.......2007-09-13

I've tried the stock case (terrible because the Blackberry falls out), the Rhino case (not much better because it's huge and opens easily) and now the T-Mobile pouch. Of the three, this one is hand's down the best.

The leather is good quality, and the over the top magnetic latch strap holds it securely in place. Plus, the case looks great and it has a magnet build into the base to shut the BB off when in the holster. Definitely a good product.

Please indicate if reviews are helpful.

Great leather pouch.......2007-08-18

Very nice pouch. Fits the phone very well, the in-pouch magnet works well, and the magnetic clasp on the retaining strap works well. The leather is very nice. Swiveling belt clip work nicely and is not bulky.

Great case!.......2007-08-13

After a few weeks of use, this is an excellent all-around case. I was initially suspicious of the magnetic clasp, but it holds my Blackberry firmly enough, even though my job has me crawling over and under desks, server cabinets and other furniture.

A lot better than the stock case.......2007-05-07

This is a big improvement over the case that came with the BlackBerry (from T-Mobile). One thing I wasn't sure about was whether or not it had the magnet in it to indicate to the BlackBerry that it's in the case (so it vibrates, for example, when it's in the case but rings when it's not). It does!

I would've liked one without the clip on the back, but no big deal.

Good case for a pda with no extras.......2007-12-11

I bought this case for two reasons: a belt loop that meant I didn't have to rely on a flimsy clip, and a storage compartment for memory cards. First of all, the case is a good fit for my AT&T 8525 with a hard plastic shell. It's a snug fit, almost perfect. The problem is, if I put a single SD card with case in the web holder, the magnetic latch no longer snaps right in place, and when I do get it in place, it comes open far too easily in my opinion.

The search continues.

Could be improved.......2007-10-10

This holster was listed as suitable for a Palm T|X, but needs some work to be really useful.

1. It is too wide for the T|X. You could literally put two of the Palms in it.

2. The clasp is a magnetic button which has to be aligned perfectly with the receiving slot of catch. A full magnetic cover would be more secure and avoid the hassle of making sure the cover is secured.

3. The pivot belt clip is very loose. Recognizing that it needs to be rotated, it still flops around too much when worn.

First time I lost data.......2007-07-05

After a few years using flash drives this is the first time I lost huge amount of data. One briefcase folder just became suddenly empty and another folder appeared with file damaged. both problems in the same episode.

Doesn't really work with the E62-E61.......2007-04-06

This thing is sitting in a drawer right now.

It is too wide to accomodate the E62 I own which makes getting it out of the case impossible. I jury rigged a piece of black covered foam in the bottom just so I wouldn't need two hands to get my cell phone out.

When it started dialing a number every time I closed it, it went into the drawer forever.

I gave it a star above terrible because it really is well made... just not well made for the E62.

Sturdy and professional case does what it promises.......2007-01-10

This is the second case I've had for my Palm. The first was a fabric case that looked ragged quickly.

I like:
* Professional look
* Magnetic clasp
* Memory card holder section holds business cards nicely

I don't like:
* Clip sometimes comes open and case slips off belt
* Case design is open where stylus is -- stylus can slip out

Overall, I'm very happy with this case.

Amazon.com Product Description

The latest BlackBerry handheld is better than ever with a thinner profile, a huge screen, a more powerful processor, EDGE data support, and more. The BlackBerry 8700c, an integrated phone, e-mail client (with support for corporate email servers), organizer, and Web browser is the ultimate weapon for mobile professionals.

Take a closer look at the BlackBerry 8700c handheld's functions.
Design
Design-wise, the BlackBerry 8700c is a nice upgrade from BlackBerry devices of the past. Yes, the same handy trackwheel is present on the right side, and yes, you'll still find a full QWERTY keyboard. This handheld is thinner and lighter, however, and the screen is bigger and brighter than ever; the high resolution 320 x 240 LCD display supports over 65,000 colors. Plus, intelligent light-sensing technology automatically optimizes screen lighting levels for indoor and outdoor viewing. The BlackBerry 8700c also features large, dedicated Send and End keys for easier call management.

The popular BlackBerry user interface is here, too, but it's been updated with a new look. Plus, a powerful Intel XScale processor, 64 MB flash memory, and 16 MB SDRAM combine to deliver a dynamic, highly responsive experience when viewing attachments and graphics, browsing the Web, and running applications. There's also a standard 2.5mm headset jack that can be used with the included headset, and a removable lithium-ion battery is housed in the rear of the handheld.

Calling Features
Many of the calling capabilities folks have come to expect in a wireless phone are present, but the BlackBerry 8700c ups the ante with MP3 ringtones. Plus, the built-in speakerphone offers hands-free calling and convenient conference calls. The handheld's Bluetooth capability (version 2.0) means you can use a wireless headset with the phone for hands-free calling. A vibrating alert, speed dial, and a contacts list/address book (limited only by the unit's 64 MB of internal memory) are also included. The BlackBerry 8700c is a quad-band phone designed for global roaming in 170 countries for voice and 90 countries for data.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The BlackBerry 8700c delivers the legendary BlackBerry e-mail experience. With BlackBerry service plans from Cingular, you can receive e-mails instantaneously from up to 10 e-mail accounts (personal and enterprise). With BlackBerry push technology, you don't need to retrieve your e-mail. BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and continuously connected to the wireless network, allowing you to be discreetly notified as new e-mail arrives. Support is also built-in for viewing e-mail attachments (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, WordPerfect, and PDF formats).

Because the BlackBerry 8700c is fast, and because it supports EDGE high-speed data networks, users can take advantage enterprise applications that are wirelessly enabled by the BlackBerry platform, such as sales force automation, field service automation, network and systems management, and more.

If your company has a BlackBerry Enterprise Server installed, you can also take advantage of the power of wireless calendar synchronization. Your calendar events are exchanged wirelessly and automatically so that your desktop calendar and BlackBerry handheld calendar are synchronized. All your Outlook meeting requests, changes, and updates are instantaneously synchronized instantaneously with your desktop. Make meeting requests, invite new attendees and more, all on your BlackBerry 8700c. Users without BlackBerry Enterprise Server support can manually sync with their desktop calendars and contacts via Bluetooth or USB using the included BlackBerry Desktop Software.

Use the BlackBerry 8700's Web browser to access the Internet from the palm of your hand. Browse Web sites, get up-to-date stock quotes, read the latest news, check weather reports, and more. Wireless text messaging and multimedia messaging (MMS) is also supported by the BlackBerry 8700c.

The BlackBerry 8700c ships with a number of tools, including a calculator with a unit converter and a to-do list. The handheld's software is based on the Java platform, meaning Java-compatible games and applications can be added to the handheld.

Great PIM.......2007-12-13

This phone is more than 2 years old and still going. This is one of the best phones for business you could ever have. 5 Stars

well worth it.......2007-11-27

i got this phone last week to combine my palm tx and cell functions together. I love it. my brother from nyc swears by his blackberry, and as an average person who is running all day, i have to agree. the internet hook up is good, the connection is way better, and overall i find this device user friendly. blackberry is especially good for the email. setting up your email to phone is easy and just takes minutes.

i love this phone. great for everyday use in the real world.

One of the best BlackBerry's ever made, but it has some drawbacks........2007-09-15

One of the best BlackBerry's ever made, but it has some drawbacks.

++ PROS ++
+ One of the brightest BB screens when it was released, the newer Curve and Pearl are brighter still. This thing can be used as an emergency flashlight.
+ Speakerphone mic has improved, but still isn't comparable to other well known cellular speakerphones.
+ Additional convenience button features including a new center console and side button which can be manually assigned to often accessed functions.
+ Battery life is decent, one of the longest lasting BB batteries I've owned.
+ Spare parts are readily available, too often owners think their phone is broken and end up going back to the cellular store and getting a new one with another / extended commitment with the replacement. Instead, look for the replacement, you can replace everything including the buttons and fascia, you can build an entire BlackBerry out of replacement parts found on the web.

-- CONS --
- Can never be jarred, if the phone is dropped just onto a table from your ear while sitting, the SIM card becomes dislodged and the phone enters "SOS" mode, everything but the radio works until you remove the battery and remove / reinsert the SIM card. Blackberry's can take an inordinate amount of time reboot and this can take you off the air and out of your address book for a few minutes.
- The screen scratches easily, it can eventually affect the readability of the phone display. It is worth using a screen protector, even an application clear packing tape is better than nothing.
- AT&T EDGE network is just PAINFULLY SLOW, this phone can also be used as a Tethered Modem for your PC, you'll experience ISDN (128 KBs) bandwidth. Sprint and Verizon offer DSL speeds (384+ KBs) on their networks.
- The browser is still a cellphone browser and has problems with sites that contain frames, sites like Amazon have modified special sites when they detect you're using a cell phone web browser, but some sites don't and will take minutes instead of seconds to download.
- / + Extreme customization, careful when modifying settings because you can end up losing characteristics or get buried in menus, this can also be considered a positive if you enjoy customizing your phone.

Had it for more than a year without trouble.......2007-05-19

so far, the phonebook is what really win me over this phone, big screen, qwerty keyboard, side scroll buttons, etc.

very useful phone especially if you got multiple phone entries for contacts.

My First BlackBerry.......2007-05-15

Since it's my first "smart phone" of any kind I don't have much to compare it to. I'm a simple person and so I needed a simple phone that is good for text messaging. I purchased this phone for the full keyboard. That was the only reason. So far it has worked perfectly for me. Just remember that this phone is not an MP3 player, it doesn't have a camera and it doesn't have the ability to share data via bluetooth, but it works great for texting, email, and light surfing.

Cool little thingy.......2007-07-19

Wouldnt use this as a primary docking station in the living room, but sounds great in the bathroom while I'm in the shower. Comes with ac adapter! My daughter loves it too.

Make sure you get the real thing.......2006-11-27

The company that makes the highly rated version of this speaker is "Pacific Rim Technologies" but there are multiple cheap knockoffs of their design from companies like "Pacific Image Electronics." Make sure you're getting the real thing before you buy.

You can buy the real thing for $19 from the Pacific Rim Technologies Web site and it includes an AC adapter. Those are great speakers for the money. The $5 knockoffs are junk.

EXTREME JUNK!.......2006-11-01

Well I just recieved my $4.99 oiece of junk, and BOY... i never knew speakers could sound so bad! What I was sent was a cheap knockoff- not the right brand, had no AC cable, was flimsy, etc etc.... need I say more? Perhaps the product carried by reputable vendors would be different, but avoid this one like the plague.

Good for the price.......2006-10-15

I bought these portable ipod speakers for $20 at Bed, Bath and Beyond about a year ago. I still have them and they still work. I use them soley for traveling. I plug them in at my hotel and listen to my ipod there. The sound quality is poor, but what do you expect at that price? They are fine for a little background music or to help you get to sleep. The handy part - the thing I love - is how they fold up so compactly and have a little carry case, too.

Wrong Item .......2005-09-18

I guess I'll never be sure about what I think about this system because this vendor sent me a "knock-off" item made by a different company. Stay away from this company.

Easy.......2007-12-06

I love mine. I bought it because my Kensington laptop adaptor packaging mentioned it had a slot to charge my Blackberry with using this. What I didn't realize is the "slot" in my adaptor is just a USB slot, so now I just plug the USB end of this into whatever computer I'm around. It's so much nicer than plugging the wall charger into the wall and having the cord all over. This one retracts and expands. Love it. It came with more tips for other devices which I haven't needed yet.

Treo 650 SkinTight with Holster - Clear (2169011).......2007-03-20

wow !
great protector & look & feels great !!

Completely Satisfied!.......2007-03-20

I have nothing negative to say about this case. It fits the phone perfectly. The clip is easy to use and rotates on your belt. The faceplate can be easily removed when you are using the touch screen. Overall an awesome product!

A really excellent case with minor flaws.......2007-02-06

I tend to break things.. especially cell phones, which apparently I love to drop. After dropping my Treo 650 into a sink full of water I decided it was really time to buy something protective.

This case is fantastic. The rubber is very grippable, which has reduced my dropping of it. When I do drop it, the rubber is thick enough to protect it from any serious damage (and no more scratchs!). The button covers don't hurt functionality at all and the holes are cut out perfectly. Like a lot of other people I threw away the screen protector, it's overkill and I like having a touch screen.

FYI - insert the phone into the bottom of the case. I tried to do it from the top and ripped the rubber a little. All the same it still fits great.

The flaws - the rubber is really grippable, and it grips onto my hair. I have to be careful when taking the phone from my ear to swing my hair away from the phone first. The SD card slot and the IR port are completely covered by the rubber. You can't use them without taking the phone out of the case (or cutting your own holes, but I'm not that brave). I don't use these features that often but if beaming stuff is a way of life for you, this is not the right case.

Overall I love it. The bottom line is that the thing does what it's supposed to, perfectly. It doesn't wiggle around in its case, the holes go exactly the where they're supposed to. I use the clip some of the time but mostly I carry it around in my purse. Oh, and now I have a Treo 700p and it works with that too.

Definately Skin Tight!.......2007-01-11

I really like this product, when I ripped throught the packaging it's all that I expected. I wish I new of this product before I scratched my phone. It's the ultimate phone protector. It hugs the phone completely, protects the screen with the flip screen case covering and the letter keys are easily manueverable. Thought it does take a little time to get used to the skin covering on the launch buttons.I haven't used the holster yet so no comment on that. The only flaw to this item is that the company knew that there are slots for both the SD memory card & SIM card. But unfortunately they didn't provide allotted slots in the skin. So therefore you have to cut them out yourself. Overall I still think it's a good investment cause it protects your expensive phone!

The best case for your 650.......2006-11-05

I bought this after I tried about 6 cases from a good friend of mine. It is the only one that i had no problems with: it holds the Treo very well in its holster while having it available with a one hand operation. Very good product, indeed.
