The new Blackberry Pearl has finally been seen in public and rumour has it that it’s 3G!
What isn’t different is the now normal OS 5.0 as seen on the Javelin 8900 and Bold 2. However what has been improved is a smooth action and near zero delay in opening Apps – courtesy of the responsive optical pad and 624MHz processor.
As usual with the Pearl range there are bound to be lovers and haters of the keyboard layout. For those haters there is another option – the affor-mentioned Bold 2. For those looking for a Nokia Classic-esque feel to a mid-range Smartphone, then this is your baby. Also (undoubtedly network dependent) is the choice of TWO keyboard layouts! (See below image).
