7. RIM BlackBerry Pearl Red (AT&T)

Editors' rating: 7.3

The good: The RIM BlackBerry Pearl is the first BlackBerry to offer a 1.3-megapixel camera, music and video playback, expandable memory and a mapping application. The supersleek phone also continues to offer superior push e-mail capabilities, EDGE support and Bluetooth.

The bad: The RIM BlackBerry Pearl's microSD slot is inconveniently located behind the battery, and call quality was subpar in our tests. We also wish there were external controls for the music player and integrated Wi-Fi.

The bottom line: Though nothing revolutionary, the addition of multimedia features and the already solid e-mail capabilities make the RIM BlackBerry Pearl an attractive device for business users and consumers alike.
