BlackBerry Pearl Tops Top 10 List

by Tim Stevens on April 3, 2007 at 07:38 AM

Looking to upgrade your cell phone? PC World just made your life a little easier, compiling a list of the top 10 models available in American markets. The RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8100 tops the list thanks to its good looks, streamlined design, and fantastic features like integrated GPS mapping and, of course, those top-notch e-mail features that make any BlackBerry a Crackberry.

Other popular phones like Motorola's RAZR and MOTORIZR series make appearances, the former thanks to its improved battery life and iTunes integration, and the latter seemingly just because it just looks cool. Samsung is well represented with the SCH-u740, praised for its interesting dual-hinged design, and the SGH-T719's, which crams BlackBerry features into a normal sized clamshell phone. Sony Ericsson also earned two spots on on the list thanks to the multimedia capabilities of the W810 and W300i.

So, plenty of good phones to choose from, but depending on your provider, you may find your selection rather more limited. Verizon, Cingular/AT&T, and T-Mobile all offer at least a few of these top-ranked mobiles, while Sprint only offers the ubiquitous RAZR. Sadly, Sprint customers, a bad case of phone envy isn't going to be enough to get you out of that two-year contract. Maybe Samsung's new UpStage, offered exclusively by Sprint, will find a spot on next year's list?
