Research in Motion Officially Announces the BlackBerry Pearl

by Robb Dunewood on September 7, 2006 · 5 comments

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.

1. Does a full-size external keyboard currently exist for the Blackberry Pearl? Will anyone be creating one?

2. Do full-size bluetooth keyboards exist that are compatible with the Pearl?

The external keyboards at least bluetooth should be compatible. Keep in mind that if you are on a BES, the BES admin will need to allow event injection for that piece of software

$199 sounds pretty good I wonder what the “already been a customer of T-Mobile’s for years and won’t qualify for new activation” price will be?
