Gadget Stimulus Plan: Blackberry Pearl 8100

Posted by | 05/30/2009 | 25 Comments

8100_small_sunsetGiven the current state of the economy, I can’t think of a better way to jumpstart your gadget addiction than to start giving away more mobile devices. In this installment of the Gadget Stimulus Plan we launched in April, we are offering an UNLOCKED refurbished red BlackBerry Pearl 8100, courtesy of geeks.com. Read on for more details:

The Pearl offers Blackberry’s famous email client, web browser, a SureType QWERTY keyboard, a 2.2.5" light-sensitive screen, a 1.3MP camera, and worldwide (quad-band) GSM antenna with EDGE connectivity for data. Being unlocked, you can use this phone on either T-mobile service or on AT&T without the need for a renewal of your contract. Just put your SIM card in and you’re ready to go!

There are three ways to enter:

1) For GBM contestants: What was your first mobile phone? Answers need to go in the comments section.

2) For Notebooks.com contestants: Have you ever bought a refurbished device? What was your experience and would you recommend refurbished products to your friends and family? Reply in the comments section.

3) Tweet about this! Send out a tweet to all your friends letting them know you entered this contest. Just copy and paste the following:

I entered to win a BB 8100 from GBM and Notebooks.com’s Gadget Stimulus Plan #GadgetStimulusBB. Thx @ComputerGeeks! http://bit.ly/vOhzO

    I have never owned a mobile phone. I have on occasion borrowed family members phones. If I won this phone I would use it with the at&t go phone plan.

    I had a Nokia 6150. It was a great phone for its day. I’m kind of sad that Nokia isn’t available through the carrier subsidized route. Still love their style. But a Blackberry would be truly awesome.

    My first phone was a pay-as-you-go motorola phone from AT & T. It was the tiniest thing and didn’t even do color. :)

    Bag phone
    4 watts of signal gathering greatness.

    These new wimpy half watt phones are disappointing
    compared to my bag phone.

    I live in a mountianous rural area.

    I think it was either a motorola v60 or a nokia bar phone. Can’t remember which one came first :p

    My first mobile phone was a TracPhone. I used their service until I went to AT&T and am on a regular account instead of pay per call.

    I had an NEC of some kind, the first non-bag phone offered by Cellular One is ’92 or ’93. About a year later I got a Motorola Alphastar and kept it for years. Now I alternate between Nokia and Motorola flips every couple years.

    My first phone was a Nextel device issued by my company. Wow, how I hated the walkie talkie mode.

  • ChrisRS

    About 1988 – Motorola Micr-Tac, I think. Then something from Nextel. THings have certainly improved.
