The BlackBerry Pearl’s Media Player Sucks!

With the Blackberry Pearl being the first CameraBerry and RIM’s first dabble into multimedia, I tried to come up with a nice way to say that Pearl’s Media Player is less than desirable and to make sure that RIMarkable readers know that I am very excited about the release next week. The best that I could come up with is that the BlackBerry Pearls Media Player sucks!

I was just saying the other day that RIM and Apple should come out with iTunes for the BlackBerry. You would think, however, that the developers of the BlackBerry Pearl’s Media Player, which would have seemed outdated 5 or 6 years ago, have never even heard of an iPod.

I just watched a video where Research in Motion co-CEO Mike Lazaridis said that they have been working on the BlackBerry Pearl for the last three years. If this is true, I urge you to go out and hire a few new developers and designers that own iPods as quickly as you possibly can…

BlackBerry HS-655 Bluetooth Headset

It looks like the BlackBerry Pearl isn’t the only new gadget that Research in Motion is unveiling today. Under the Accessories section of the BlackBerry Pearl website, you will see a sweet looking little earpiece called the BlackBerry HS-655 Bluetooth Headset

From what we can tell, the BlackBerry HS-655 Bluetooth Headset which features Digital Signal Processing or (DSP) technology from Plantronics, is actually a BlackBerry branded and color-schemed version of the Plantronics Discovery 655 Bluetooth Headset.

I personally use the Plantronics Discovery 645 and love it so would think that if the 655 works as well as my 645 does for me, that the BlackBerry version, the HS-655, will be a heck of a headset. It is very small and light weight at only 9 grams and fits comfortably in your ear with or without the earclip. It also has three different size ear gels to make sure the fit is just right.

I was going to upgrade to the Discovery 655 but know that I know that RIM has a BlackBerry branded version, I will try to get a BlackBerry HS-655

Research in Motion Officially Announces the BlackBerry Pearl

After months of anticipation after the first leak of the BlackBerry Stealth, BlackBerry maker, Research in Motion, has officially announced the BlackBerry Pearl, a.k.a, BlackBerry 8100, a.k.a. CameraBerry.

This is the first BlackBerry specifically targeting consumer users. It will be very interesting to see how RIM markets the BlackBerry Pearl now that they officially acknowledge that it exists.
