Rim has introduced two new BlackBerrys to its BlackBerry Pearl Line. The two devices are the BlackBerry Pearl 9100 and the BlackBerry Pearl 9105. The Pearl 9100 looks just like any other BlackBerry Pearl with the half QWERTY keyboard on front. It will also use a optical trackbad instead of a trackball. The screen is 360x400 pixels, which is bigger and higher resolution that previous BlackBerry Pearl devices. It has 3G connectivity at 3.6 Mbps and HSUPA, so uploading is also faster. One of the most amazing features is the WiFi 802.11n. This is the first BlackBerry device to support wireless N, but probably not the last. It also has 256 MB of internal memory, which is expandable with a microSD card up to 32 GB in capacity. It comes with a 2 GB microSD card. The device has Bluetooth, of course, and a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and an LED flash. The camera also supports video recording. The CPU is twice as fast as that on previous BlackBerry Pearl devices at 624 MHz. It also has assisted GPS support. The battery is 1150 mAh and will supposedly give you up to 5 hours of talk time on edge and 5.5 hours on 3G. You also get 30 hours of music playback and up to 18 days of standby time. The phone also has quad band GSM so you can use it around the globe. Both of the BlackBerry Pearl 3G devices will also run the new BlackBerry OS 5. The Blackberry Pearl 3G 9105 is almost exactly the same as the 9100, except for it does not have a half QWERTY keyboard. It uses a standard 14 key T9 keyboard. Other than that the phones are exactly the same. There is no word on what network the phones will be on, but the 3G frequencies are the used by T-Mobile in the US and other carriers worldwide. Both of the phones will be released in the third quarter of 2010.
