Blackberry Pearl 9100 et 9105 Officiel

Nous y sommes! Les Blackberry Pearl 9100 et 9105 sont annoncés!

Comme dis et redis, le Blackberry Pearl 9100 nous propose toujours un clavier Suretype et le Blackberry Pearl 9105 un “clavier” T9.

Concernant l’appareil, nous avons un écran de 360×400, un TrackPad, un clavier SureType/T9 en fonction du modèle, une caméra de 3.2Mpx avec Flash et autofocus, un zoom digital de 2.5x. ainsi que le Wifi, Bluetooth et un module GPS.

Les Blackberry Pearl 9100 / 9105 seront disponibles en 5 couleurs (en fonction des opérateurs) (Noir, Blanc, Rose, Violet et rouge/noir)

Dans les nouveautés, nous avons le droit à un nouveau “Sim slot” afin de mettre/enlever plus facilement notre carte SIM.

Concernant le Blackberry Pearl, j’ai été propriétaire à l’époque des 8100, 8120 et 8130 et j’ai vraiment adoré ses mobiles! Je trouve que c’est un vrai coup de maitre de RIM de proposer dans un téléphone de ce format toute les fonctionnalités d’un Blackberry standard (avec le clavier SureType). J’attends maintenant de voir ce que vaut vraiment le clavier T9 (même si je l’ai déjà bien assez critiqué!).

RIM Introduces the New BlackBerry Pearl 3G Smartphone

What do you want in a mobile phone? Small? Stylist? Fast? Full-featured? How about all of the above?

Waterloo, ON – Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announced the new BlackBerry® Pearl™ 3G, the smallest BlackBerry® smartphone yet. Despite its impressively compact and elegant design, this stylish new handset is a powerful 3G BlackBerry smartphone with uncompromising performance and top–of-the-line features, including all the industry-leading BlackBerry® email, messaging and social networking capabilities that so many people love.

“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,” said Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO, Research In Motion. “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.”

The new BlackBerry Pearl 3G smartphone is a marvel of engineering and design excellence. It’s as powerful as it is compact.

It also features an optical trackpad for smooth navigation, dedicated volume and media keys for added convenience, a 3.2 MP camera with flash for quality pictures on the go, and support for up to 32 GB of personal content.
