If it had come out 1 1/2 yrs ago it might have been relevant. The Pearl along with the entire BB OS is getting pretty long in the tooth.

It's because RIM has a formula that works. It is unequivocally the fastest smartphone on the market. When's the last time you've had to wait for something to load on a Blackberry? The fact that RIM also has to make absolutely sure that whatever they produce has to work with the infrastructure that's already in place, and it's pretty much a given that major developments will take FOREVER to get pushed out.

Obviously, RIM is doing something right. Look at the numbers. ]]>Mar 24th 2010 8:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/blackberry-pearl-9100-surfaces-yet-again-this-time-with-specs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/blackberry-pearl-9100-surfaces-yet-again-this-time-with-specs/

You do know some people prefer the smaller form factor of a pearl compared to a gargantuan touch screen device. And in all fairness I believe the calendar and email services are still leagues ahead of the competition. i.e what they were designed for.]]>Mar 24th 2010 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/blackberry-pearl-9100-surfaces-yet-again-this-time-with-specs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/blackberry-pearl-9100-surfaces-yet-again-this-time-with-specs/Mar 24th 2010 2:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/blackberry-pearl-9100-surfaces-yet-again-this-time-with-specs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/blackberry-pearl-9100-surfaces-yet-again-this-time-with-specs/Mar 24th 2010 3:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/blackberry-pearl-9100-surfaces-yet-again-this-time-with-specs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/blackberry-pearl-9100-surfaces-yet-again-this-time-with-specs/
http://www.fiercewireless.com/pages/top-selling-smartphones-u-s-fourth-quarter

RIM alone sells more Curves than any other smart phone in NA. 5 of the top 10 are RIM phones (one of those being the old pearl). RIM now sells 80% of their phones (as of last quarters numbers) to consumers. The Pearl has been a huge seller and has been on the top 10 smart phones sold for every quarter that is has been around. That is how you remain dominant and continue to grow hugely, by offering something for everyone, this being their entry level model. By the end of this year, they will have a new OS (6.0, though could come out early next year), webkit browser, new form factors, Open GL support etc.

Hey I love the cutting edge stuff like that HTC EVO 4G, but something like that is far from what the vast majority of consumers want or need. This looks like a solid phone and a good upgrade to what has been a great selling phone, getting rid of trackball, adding 3G etc.]]>Mar 24th 2010 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/blackberry-pearl-9100-surfaces-yet-again-this-time-with-specs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/blackberry-pearl-9100-surfaces-yet-again-this-time-with-specs/
AMEN.

Sometimes reading the posts on this site is like listening to 5 year olds at the supermarket.
"Mommy I want this! Oh no... now I want that one! Gimme gimme gimme"

I am convinced that 90% of the people out there don't even use 90% of the features of the gadgets that they own, but get suckered into buying the Next Big Thing with bright colors and a slick marketing campaign. One day their NexusOne is a phone they cream themselves over, then the next day, it's called a POS as they move on to the next phone sent down from Heaven.

Get real, it's just a damn phone.

BlackBerry has been on top - and continues to dominate - by bringing out good solid phones with awesome keyboards and with features that people actually use. We would be so lucky to have every phone on the market have a BB SureType keyboard and an honest-to-goodness physical input device.]]>Mar 24th 2010 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/blackberry-pearl-9100-surfaces-yet-again-this-time-with-specs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/blackberry-pearl-9100-surfaces-yet-again-this-time-with-specs/]]>Mar 24th 2010 8:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/blackberry-pearl-9100-surfaces-yet-again-this-time-with-specs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/blackberry-pearl-9100-surfaces-yet-again-this-time-with-specs/
