According to RIM, the new BlackBerry Pearl 3G is the smallest BlackBerry smartphone to date. It measures less than 50mm wide, weighs 93g, supports 3G networks, Wi-Fi (b/g/n), and GPS. It also features an optical trackpad for smooth navigation, dedicated volume and media keys, a 3.2-megapixel camera with flash, and can store up to 32GB of data (using microSDHC).
Research In Motion’s President and Co-CEO, Mike Lazaridis said, “The BlackBerry Pearl 3G is unlike any other smartphone in the world and we expect a broad range of new and existing customers will be drawn to its powerful features and compact design. Considering the fast growing consumer interest in smartphones and the fact that more than three-quarters of the people in the global mobile phone market are still buying handsets with a traditional alphanumeric keypad, we think the new BlackBerry Pearl 3G addresses a substantial market opportunity.”
“It allows consumers to upgrade their traditional mobile phone to a full-featured, easy-to-use and fashionable 3G BlackBerry smartphone that supports BlackBerry Messenger and many other apps while maintaining a handset design and layout that is familiar and comfortable,” added Lazaridis.
Australian pricing and availability will be announced at a later date.
