How to Work the Music Player on the Blackberry Pearl

Mobile phones have evolved to contain a number of features and applications.

The BlackBerry Pearl is the first BlackBerry smart-phone by Research in Motion (RIM) to feature a multimedia player. This enables the BlackBerry Pearl to play music files such as MP3s, meaning that users can use their phone as their music player, discarding the need to carry two devices. Along with the other functions of the BlackBerry Pearl such as the trademark email feature, this makes the Blackberry Pearl a useful phone to have.
