BlackBerry Pearl 9100 revealed, has lost its gemstone but not its luster
The BlackBerry Pearl 8100 was, and still is, a lovely little phone, QWERTYfied, pocketable, and rocking that little milky trackball that gave it its name. There's finally a true successor coming down the pipeline (the flippy 8230 not really counting) though it ditches the iconic pearl for a now-standard (and hopefully more reliable) touchpad. There's a similarly swoopy SureType keyboard and the overall dimensions look very much the same, meaning this should fill the tiny BlackBerry void once again -- whenever it ships. Update: But of course the original 8100 also had SureType, not QWERTY. [Thanks, Alex T]
Sprint set to serve up BlackBerry Pearl 2 around Thanksgiving?
Boy Genius has heard that the much anticipated -- and terribly named -- BlackBerry Pearl 2 may well be dressed out in shops sometime around or during Thanksgiving weekend. Word also has that GPS is a go, but as we mentioned, WiFi is not, yet again proving the old adage that 'you can't have it all' -- though somehow, the TyTN 2 has it all. Of course, we'll be following this one closely so be sure to pop in when you have a spare moment -- or while you're stuffing face with turkey on said weekend -- for updates.[Thanks, Greg]
