I'm a self-professed BlackBerry junkie. Just ask my friends. The most common thing they say to me goes something like, "Would you put that fucking thing down?"Every since I got my first one, 5 years ago, I've been hooked. And the devices have kept on getting better and better. As much as I wasn't a big fan of the concept of predictive text typing, I went out and got myself a 7100 last year when they came out, wanting a better phone.
The next generation of the SureType models is coming, this week. T-Mobile is due to be the launch carrier for the newest BlackBerry model, the Pearl (or 8100). It's small and light, with a camera and MP3 player (I know, generally not features most BlackBerry users go for), and it just looks plain good. It's RIM's answer to the Q.
I haven't actually played with it yet, but plenty of others have had a chance to check out advance versions, and while it's not a perfect device it looks good. I figure the worst case, it's form over function, much like my old Motorola V70.
Want an idea what people are saying about the Pearl? Google, engage. Specifically, the folks over at Engadget had a great advance review.
Official site, you ask for? No problem.
