BlackBerry Pearl 8100 review

Phones Review : RIM is getting ready to launch a successor for the popular BlackBerry Pearl 8100 / 8110 / 8120: meet the BlackBerry Pearl 9100, codenamed BlackBerry Stratus or BlackBerry Striker.

Like most of RIM’s new smartphones, the Pearl 9100 comes with an optical trackpad instead of a trackball. It has an overall glossy look, and a SureType keypad that looks larger than the one the 81xx models have.

The BlackBerry Pearl 9100 also features 3G and a camera with LED flash, but other specs are not known at the moment.
