Blackberry Pearl



Well, it was finally about time for RIM! I was wondering when RIM would come out with a multimedia integrated smart phone that could play video, have a camera, include Bluetooth, etc. According to reviews from CNET, it's not a revolutionary device, although it looks very sleek and since it's RIM, it will appeal to the business users. It doesn't have integrated Wi-Fi, which may steer business users from getting this, when they could go with other Pocket PC or Smartphone PC Microsoft smartphones. Of course, Microsoft smartphones crash though, and since RIM has a reputation for being good as a business product (witness the success of the Blackberry from its incarnation), it's very tempting against other well established players in the market. It's going to be an interesting showdown for the business user and regular user, going to probably confuse people more than simplify with all the dizzying types of devices out there.
