New Blackberry Pearl on the way

[ 0 ] 2010/04/26 | Simon Harris

Blackberry have finally announced the new (3G) Pearl and it looks really nice, smaller than the original Pearl and with much higher spec. With its ultra-compact two-inch wide, 3.3 ounce body, the Pearl 3G is the smallest BlackBerry yet. Despite its size though, it’s still a full-featured BlackBerry, and for the first time, complete with 802.11n wireless support.

The compact smartphone will offer UMTS/HSDPA and Wi-Fi (b/g/n) support along with GPS, a 3.2MP camera, an optical trackpad, a microSD/SDHD memory card slot.

The Pearl 3G will \ be offered in two different models: The 9100 which will have a 20-key condensed QWERTY keyboard (aka RIM’s SureType) and the 9105, which has a 14-key T9 phone keyboard. (Hello, downmarket! Which makes us puzzle more over the inclusion of wireless N, which the pricier Bold doesn’t have.) There are no exact details about availability and pricing but it’s expected within the next 6 weeks.
