BlackBerry Pearl
Overview – RIM’s latest smartphone offering
 |
The BlackBerry® Pearl™ 8100 is one of the world’s smallest smartphones and packs all of the power you expect from a BlackBerry. It comes complete with digital camera, multimedia capabilities and expandable memory. And it offers users everything else you would expect from a BlackBerry smartphone - including phone, email, web browser, text messaging (SMS and MMS), instant messaging, organiser applications and more.
The BlackBerry Pearl provides Quad-band network support (on 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM™/GPRS and EDGE* networks) to allow for international roaming between North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
The BlackBerry Pearl is small enough to take anywhere. It’s the ultimate combination of brains and beauty.
