This phone is so easy to use, it offers a lot of functionality.  With the new os 4.5 software its even better.  Like being able to see html email and youtube videos.  This phone is not fragile at all.  If you aren't clumsy or dirty you shouldn't have any problems with the phone.  The wifi option allows you to surf the web at fast speeds and the opera mini web browser is fenomenal.  I upgraded from an 8100, I like the new keyboard with its bigger buttons, and the bigger headphone jack (it's now a standard normal jack).  Its too bad that t-mobile doesn't have a 3g pearl yet.  But this will do for now, as my experience with t-mobile's 3g network has not been too great.  A gps feature would have been nice as well.  But I like this phone.

Pros

Looks nice, easy to use, improved in comparison to the 8100, wifi, bigger headphone jack, easier to access media cards, great software that runs smooth and fast, can play youtube videos, display html emails, and improved keyboard functionality.

Cons

Not as cool as a blackberry storm, I wish t-mobile could sell it. I would love a big touch screen.

2. My 2 Cents Worth

First of all, to have your phone break 4 times, you must be a klutz. Its not the phone, its the person using the phone.

I owned a BB Pearl 8100, and upgraded to the 8120. I havent dropped it 4 times, and purchased an aftermarket case that could withstand many pounds of abuse, in order to protect the phone.

The microsd slot is quite readily accessible, (pro), and it has a better camera than its predecessor, and also features a videorecorder as well. It also has bluetooth and wifi capabilities, enabling the user to switch automatically from the network to wifi, (pro), which is the main reason I purchased the phone. It will support up to 16Gb microsd, (if you are running 4.5 RimOS, (the latest versions, please see Blackberry Forums for further info along this line).
