BlackBerry Announces Two New Handsets
BlackBerry has announced a new Bold edition handset as well as half-QWERTY keypad Pearl device.
We can expect to see at least two new BlackBerry handsets in the next month. RIM has already announced the Bold 9650 and the Pearl 3G but seems to have kept their specs under wraps.
The Bold 9650 is a very conventional BlackBerry with a trackpad and QWERTY keypad. Telling it apart from the 9700 would be hard. A few of the features that did make it out according to reports, say that this handset will feature, Wi-Fi, GPS, EDGE/GPRS and a 3.2mp camera. There’s also word that this model would also be launched as a CDMA device.
The Pearl is a slimmer handset incorporating a half QWERTY keypad like in the good old days. Aside from the obvious 3G support it will also come with Wi-Fi, a 3.2MP camera and GPS. Let’s just hope by the time these handsets get here BlackBerry will have updated their Maps for India.
