Canadian Company, Research In Motion (RIM) has launched its newest BlackBerry SmartPhone called the Blackberry Pearl 3G, the ultra-compact smartphone packs everything in a 1.96-inch wide body, weighing a light 3.3 oz. Aside from the smaller size than the previous BlackBerry SmartPhone products, the most notable feature from BlackBerry Pearl 9100 3G is the inclusion of 802.11n wireless support, the first one for Blackberry phones. BlackBery Pearl 3G will also come in two models: 9100 (which uses the space-saving, pseudo-QWERTY SureType keys) and 9105 (which uses a surprising T9-style keypad). Yes, Blackberry appears to be finally embracing the lower-end of the market too, with a release that looks to have more in common with Nokia's designs that the ones RIM has popularized. Core hardware for the BlackBerry 3G handsets consist of a 624 Mhz processor, aided by 256MB of RAM. It runs Blackberry OS 5, complete with all of its familiar features, including the Blackberry Messenger, Media Sync and App World. Key details include a 360 x 400 resolution display, a 3.2 megapixel camera module, aGPS (with Blackberry Maps), 3G, WiFi, microSD expansion (up to 32GB) and a 1,150 mAh battery (rated at 4.4 hours of talk time). The newest BlackBerry Pearl 3Gs are definitely unique, the Pearl 3G packs in a solid slew of features in a pocketable candybar frame.
