If you’re the kind of person who likes to keep their gadgets in perfect condition, then the prospect of carrying a mobile phone around unprotected probably fills you with dread; or if you’re a graphic design degree lecturer with a keen eyes on pixel details, then you will need unobstructed view to your BlackBerry but yet, you desire adequate protection. When the phone looks as good as the new RIM Blackberry 8100 Pearl mobile phone, you will have an enormous dilemma about what to do.On the one hand, you want to be able to see the shape of the phone and enjoy its great looks, which means that putting it in a leather case is out of the question, but at the same time, you want to protect those same looks, which means that you do need some kind of case for your phone in order to keep it looking like new.

Without a doubt, the best possible protection is with an Optically Clear Skin for Blackberry Pearl. These brand new designs in mobile phone cases fit perfectly onto the phone, surrounding it with a thin layer of perfectly clear plastic that allows you to see the phone perfectly, while knowing that it is perfectly well protected.

The great thing about these brand new phone covers is that they do not force you to compromise on the looks of your mobile, or force you to struggle to gain access to the functions of the phone thanks to having a plastic shield over the keypad. Having easy access to the keys on your Blackberry is even more important than with a regular mobile phone so that you can send emails conveniently.

The Optically Clear Skin for Blackberry Pearl phones gives great cosmetic protection to your phone without getting in the way of its functions or good looks. All in all it is a brilliant way of keeping your phone in the best possible condition, and thanks to its relatively low cost, it offers a replaceable solution to ensuring the long term safety of your phone.

For anyone who likes to keep their phone looking good, and keep it safe from scratches and scuffs, the optically clear skin casing is the ideal product, and can be fitted in seconds to give immediate results that will last well.

This Clear Skin is extremely priced affordably at $6.99 and is available from Best Skins Ever.

Are you frustrated about your BlackBerry Pearl’s short battery life? Do you hate it when on your BlackBerry, the out-of-battery indication comes on? Do you wish you have an extra 5 minutes of battery time?

As with all mobile devices, we are very dependent on battery power. The standard 900mAh battery that comes with the BlackBerry Pearl when you first bought it seem insufficient as your usage increases day by day. Seidio has a high capacity rechargeable lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery that is specifically designed for your BlackBerry Pearl. At 2400mAh capacity, Seidio’s extended battery provides an increase of 170% capacity compared to your standard battery.

A very quick note before we continue. This only works for T-Mobile’s BlackBerry Pearl. If you are on Cingular, check back here as we will update this post whenever the Cingular version is out.

When you purchase this high capacity battery, it comes with a battery door which has a speaker opening for better sound quality and volume, a camera cut out hole for camera and flash as well as a self-portrait mirror.

Note that this battery will increase the thickness of your BlackBerry Pearl by 5-6mm and increase the overall weight by approximately 0.8 ounces. The Seidio extended battery is an essential accessory for BlackBerry Pearl (8100) users who worries about missing a charge.

You can obtain the Seidio BlackBerry Pearl Extended Battery for $49.95 from Seidio’s Online Store.

If you are wondering if this is the sequel for Samuel L. Jackson’s Snakes on A Plane, it is not. We are introducing real snake skins made into BlackBerry pouches to you. If you are gung-ho on reptiles, check out these python skins ranging from cream to brown colors to adorn your BlackBerry 8700s.

Please note that these leather are made from REAL snake skins sourced from Thailand and treated in Italy. They are then handmade in Canada by a premier bag-maker. The dark accents on the pouch you see are natural snake markings and not colored which means that no two pouches are the same. Each one is unique and in its own league.

The interior are made of very high-grade Italian pig suede; ensuring that your BlackBerry is pampered by the soft texture of the material. The sleeper magnet is placed under the fabrics and puts your BlackBerry 8700 in holstered mode regardless of the direction you insert your phone.

There are multiple colors to choose; Cream, Taupe, Grey, Yellow, Brown and Glossy Brown. You can obtain your snake skin pouch from GizmoSkin for $99.95.

There are some who do not favor the swivel holster that comes with the BlackBerry 8700 devices. It feels rigid and does not protect the body of the BlackBerry device from knocks and scratches. Furthermore, it feels (a matter of perception) as if the BlackBerry device can fall off the holster anytime.

The Monaco Apex Hydro Pouch on the other hand, provides the comfort that the BlackBerry device is securely held. Made of hydro-foam, the pouch is simple, clean and looks professional (mainly because it is black in color). Apart from that, the pouch is durable, versatile, compact and has a ratcheting metal clip which allows you to rotate your BlackBerry vertically or horizontally.

Being a pouch, the Monaco Apex Hydro case offers all round protection for your BlackBerry; absorbing shocks because of its soft padding and is water resistant. With an opening at the top, your BlackBerry will slip in and out easily and while placed in the pouch, the Sleeper function is activated.

The Monaco Apex Hydro Pouch is compatible with the BlackBerry 8700c, 8700g, 8700r and 8703e. You can get a unit of this pouch from Blackberryden at $19.95.

If you want to perform a hard reset or wipe out the entire data in your BlackBerry Pearl, perform the steps as provided in the following section. However, before you perform those steps, please note that hard resetting your BlackBerry Pearl will erase all data in your device and revert it to factory settings.

Now that you are aware of what you will be performing, here are the steps:

1. On your BlackBerry Pearl, go to Options
2. Select Security Options
3. Select General Settings
4. Press the button located left of the trackball
5. Finally, select Wipe Handheld

Good luck and please remember that performing these steps will wipe out the entire data in your BlackBerry. It is best that you perform a backup just in case something goes awry.
