Kevin at CrackBerry has obtained shots of the BlackBerry Pearl 9100 and the Pearl 8130.  Perhaps I’m being opinionated, but I think the Pearl 9100 blows its older sibling out of the water.  I absolutely love the design changes that RIM are implementing.  The beveled edges, chrome sides, rubberized side keys, and a battery back that resembles the Storm2.

Here’s the question: With the trackpad replacing the trackball (i.e. the Pearl itself), should the name be changed?  Hit the link for more pictures!

  1. I think thats its still a pearl, due to the fact that it still has SureTYPE, which is probably the most memoriable feature.
