“The BlackBerry® Pearl? 8100? smartphone is one of the world’s smallest smartphones and packs all of the power of BlackBerry. It comes complete with digital camera, multimedia capabilities and expandable memory. “

It looks like RIM is going after the Windows Mobile market, especially the Q, with their latest release. In addition to the features common to all Blackberry’s, the Pearl has:

? Instant Messaging.
? Web browser.
? Camera.
? Media Player. Audio and video playback in a variety of formats.
? BlackBerry Maps?, the best way to find your way.*
