The BlackBerry Pearl (8100)

The BlackBerry Pearl (8100) is a mobile phone developed by Research In Motion, and the first Blackberry device with a camera and other multimedia features. It was released in Q3 of 2006. The Pearl is a quad-band GSM device.
SpecificationsThe Pearl comes with the following standard features[1]:
1.3 megapixel camera with flash, self portrait mirror, and 5x digital zoom Media player with support for MP3, AAC, AMR, polyphonic MIDI and WAV sound formats Media player with support for MPEG-4 and H.263 video formats Bluetooth 2.0 Address book & Calendar Web browser BlackBerry Maps Push e-mail Voice Dialing Speakerphone SMS and MMS text messaging Instant messaging (on T-Mobile version only) Supports up to 2GB MicroSD (OS versions .51 and above) Blackberry Pearl is aimed towards both business users and consumers. Its advertising campaign features several people including Mariska Hargitay and Douglas Coupland.
The BlackBerry Pearl provides Quad-Band network support on 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS and EDGE networks to allow for international roaming between North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. It does not support high speed 3G data capabilities such as UMTS or HSDPAComparison with other BlackBerry devicesMost BlackBerry devices have a full keyboard. The Pearl uses a modified QWERTY layout on a 4 row 5 column keypad, with a predictive input algorithm known as SureType. Typing on a Pearl is different than on other non-SureType BlackBerry devices.
The Pearl supports the full range of BlackBerry enterprise functionality.
Unlike most BlackBerries, the Pearl includes a music player and other multimedia features. It requires the purchase of a MicroSD memory card to support storage of multimedia files beyond the 64MB provided internally.
Most notably, the Pearl uses a white trackball similar in appearance to a white pearl instead of the traditional BlackBerry scroll wheel. This facilitates horizontal scrolling and is the origin of the Pearl's name. Third-party applications can be used to change the color of the pearl.[2]
The Pearl is currently available with T-Mobile, AT&T Mobility (formerly Cingular Wireless), Cincinnati Bell Wireless, and Cellular One in the United States, Turkcell and Avea in Turkey, Claro in Brazil, Airtel, Hutch in India,Telcel in Mexico, Rogers Wireless in Canada, Optus in Australia, Vodafone in New Zealand, SingTel in Singapore and all networks in the UK.
