BlackBerry Pearl 9100 Leaked In Rogers And Bell Inventory Screenshots

on 04/22/2010, filed in Home > CellPhones

Looking forward to getting hold of the BlackBerry Pearl 9105 that sports a T9 keyboard instead of the traditional QWERTY keyboard? Leaked inventory screenshots showing the BlackBerry Pearl 9100 (a version of the Pearl 9105) should be launching in Canada soon on Rogers and Bell. According to the leak, the devices will be going for $450 CAD ($451) without any subsidies. Do you think the T9 keyboard will be good for RIM, or is the QWERTY keyboard still RIM’s bread and butter?

RIM: RIM is the acronym for Research In Motion, the Canadian company behind the BlackBerry brand. RIM was founded in the mid 90s by Mike Lazaridis and with Jim Balsillie and went IPO (Initial Public Offering) in 1998. Its claim to fame was to make mobile email really effective and enterprises quickly adopted its devices and associated software and services which were highly lucrative. With the rise of iOS and Android devices, the BlackBerry franchise bumped into trouble and its decline prompted RIM to take a radical step by overhauling its BlackBerry operating system (OS) completely with QNX. The first version of the QNX BlackBerry OS is BlackBerry 10 or BB10.
