T-Mobile Releases White BlackBerry Pearl |
T-Mobile along with Research In Motion (RIM) unveiled a new “Pearl White” BlackBerry Pearl mobile phone yesterday that will be available through T-Mobile.
The white BlackBerry Pearl builds on the already-successful BlackBerry Pearl that comes in piano black and could very likely be jumping on the trend created by Apple with the iPod and recently released iPhone products.
“The BlackBerry Pearl has proven that it’s possible to provide a full-featured handset at an attractive price point with an uncompromising user experience and an extremely small, light and stylish design,” said Mark Guibert, Vice President, Corporate Marketing, Research In Motion. “We are delighted by the immediate success of the BlackBerry Pearl in the market and we are pleased to build on this momentum with the addition of another stunning color and finish.”
I think Guibert sums it up pretty well. The BlackBerry Pearl has been successful product and bringing in a white version makes a lot of sense by simply giving another option to consumers for a good product, and the decision to go with white as that addition option was likely no accident.
Some features of the BlackBerry Pearl include:
- BlackBerry
Internet Service with support for up to 10 email accounts - Popular IM clients: AOL, Yahoo! MSN and ICQ 3
- 1.3 megapixel camera
- Multimedia player with support for MP3 and AAC music files, as well as MPEG4 and H.263

GroupWise environments and features a new set of

usage
