And of course, legendary BlackBerry push email is fully supported on the BlackBerry 8100c Pearl.

Design
Like the BlackBerry 7105, the BlackBerry 8100c Pearl is a departure from the form factor of previous BlackBerry devices. This BlackBerry handset is far more phone-like, and RIM’s engineers have managed to fit a QWERTY keyboard onto the handset’s slim frame. Each button on the keyboard shares two letters and the unit automatically determines which letter is the intended one based on what it predicts you are trying to spell. This unique predictive text technology, known as SureType, makes the BlackBerry 8100c Pearl’s handset’s diminutive size possible. SureType also learns the words you use most often, further enhancing your typing speed.

The BlackBerry 8100c Pearl sports a large 240 x 260 screen that supports over 65,000 colors–plenty of real estate to view your emails, Web browser content, messaging sessions, and attachments. The venerable BlackBerry trackwheel has been replaced on this model with an innovative four-way trackball placed below the screen. On the rear of the handheld, you’ll find a 1.3-megapixel camera and a self portrait mirror. The handheld’s microSD memory card slot is located inside the device, behind the battery. There’s also a standard 2.5mm headset jack that can be used with the included headset, as well as a mini-USB port for data connectivity.

Calling Features
All the calling capabilities folks have come to expect in a wireless phone are present in the BlackBerry 8100c Pearl. The handset’s speakerphone makes it easy to use the device hands-free, or if you prefer, you can use a wireless headset via the BlackBerry 8100c handheld’s built-in Bluetooth capability. A vibrating alert, speed dial, and a contacts list/address book (limited only by the unit’s 64 MB of internal memory) are also included. Any of the phone’s 32 included polyphonic ringtones can be used to create caller-specific ringers, so you can know who’s calling without having to look at the handset. The unit comes with built-in ringtones, and more ringtones are available from Cingular’s MEdia Net mobile Web service.

See the 8100c Pearl in detail (black version shown).

A new feature, speaker independent voice dialing, allows you to call contacts with the sound of your voice. No prior voice training is required; you can just say a contact’s name to call them.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
While the BlackBerry 8100c Pearl is a different kind of BlackBerry device, it still delivers the legendary BlackBerry email experience. With BlackBerry service plans from Cingular, you can receive emails instantaneously from up to 10 email accounts (personal and enterprise). With BlackBerry push technology, you don’t need to retrieve your email. BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and continuously connected to the wireless network, allowing you to be discreetly notified as new email arrives. Support is also built-in for viewing email attachments (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, WordPerfect, and PDF formats).

If your company has a BlackBerry Enterprise Server installed, you can take advantage of the power of wireless calendar synchronization. Your calendar events are exchanged wirelessly and automatically so that your desktop calendar and BlackBerry handheld calendar are synchronized. All your Outlook meeting requests, changes, and updates are instantaneously synchronized instantaneously with your desktop. Make meeting requests, invite new attendees, and more, all on your BlackBerry 8100c Pearl. Users without BlackBerry Enterprise Server support can manually sync with their desktop calendars and contacts via Bluetooth or USB using the included BlackBerry Desktop Software.

Use the BlackBerry 8100c handset’s Web browser to access the Internet from the palm of your hand. Browse Web sites, get up-to-date stock quotes, read the latest news, check weather reports, and more–all at fast speeds, thanks to support for Cingular’s EDGE high speed data network. Instant messaging and wireless messaging are also built into the BlackBerry 8100c Pearl. MMS messages can be received and forwarded (Cingular messaging charges apply).

The BlackBerry 8100c Pearl ships with a number of tools, including a calculator, a calendar, an alarm, and a to-do list.

Imaging and Entertainment
The BlackBerry 8100c Pearl really kicks the fun up a notch with the inclusion of a 1.3-megapixel camera that features an LED flash and white balance controls. How about some music? The handheld’s music player supports playback of your tunes in MP3, AAC, AAC+, and eAAC+ formats. The handheld is also compatible with Java application and game downloads (available via the MEdia Net service).

Vital Statistics
The BlackBerry 8100c Pearl weighs 3.16 ounces and measures 4.2 by 2.00 by 0.57 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 3.5 hours of digital talk time and up to 360 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies. The phone comes with a one-year limited warranty.

Amazon.com Product Description
Adding Wi-Fi connectivity to the popular, slim 8800 design, the BlackBerry 8820 smartphone keeps its predecessor’s top flight features: easy-to-use trackball navigation system, internal GPS, and push-to-talk functionality. It also supports AT&T Mobile Music, XM radio, and stereo Bluetooth headset capabilities. And, of course, it offers what you expect from a Blackberry: an easy-to-type QWERTY keyboard, push email with attachment viewing options, and text (SMS and MMS) and instant (IM) messaging capabilities. This quad-band GSM phone is ready to take on the world, and it’s compatible with AT&T’s EDGE data network for Web browsing and quick downloads.

The powerful and stylish BlackBerry 8820 offers integrated WiFi for increased in-building coverage and fast data connections. See an online demo of all the 8820’s features.

Wi-Fi Connectivity
The BlackBerry 8820 supports the 802.11 a/b/g Wi-Fi standards to enable data access in the enterprise, as well as through public hotspots and wireless home networks. It works in conjunction with both BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry Internet Service and can seamlessly switch between cellular networks and a Wi-Fi network to allow you to access email, instant messaging, organizer, web browsing and other mobile data applications.

To meet various security requirements, the BlackBerry 8820 is compliant with Wi-Fi security protocols including WEP, WPA and WPA2, as well as Cisco Compatible Extensions for simple, secure connectivity with Cisco wireless solutions. For enterprises that require Wi-Fi users to access the corporate network through a VPN, the BlackBerry 8820 includes IPSec-based software that supports the most commonly deployed VPN gateways from vendors including Cisco, Check Point and others. The BlackBerry 8820 also supports UMA, enabling wireless carriers to offer a fixed-mobile convergence service for both business and home use.

Design
Right out of the box, the first thing you’ll notice is the convenient set-up wizard that helps you get to know the BlackBerry 8820 quickly. The time-saving tutorial helps you with the set-up process, walks you through the features and functions, and explains how to personalize settings so you can make your smartphone truly your own.

Design-wise, the BlackBerry 8820 is a nice upgrade from BlackBerry devices of the past. The side trackwheel has been replaced by an even easier to use trackball navigation system located on the top of the keypad. And yes, just like most BlackBerries of the past, you’ll still find a full QWERTY keyboard, however, this handheld is thinner and lighter, and the screen is bigger and brighter than ever with its high resolution 320 x 240 LCD full color display. Intelligent light sensing technology automatically optimizes screen lighting levels for indoor and outdoor viewing. The BlackBerry 8820 also features large, dedicated send and end keys for easy call management. Dedicated volume and mute keys are found on the right side of the device so you can quickly make adjustments without having to fumble for the right button, while advanced sound technology that cancels out background noise and echo, helps ensure you can always hear and be heard, is also included. The supported USB connectivity makes file transfers to and from your PC a snap, and you can even use the USB cable and power from your PC to charge your 8820 if a standard electric outlet is not readily available. A removable high-capacity lithium-ion battery is housed in the rear of the handheld.

The popular BlackBerry user interface is here, too, but it’s been updated with a new look. Under the hood, a powerful 312 MHz processor and 64 MB flash memory combine to deliver a dynamic, highly responsive experience when viewing attachments and graphics, browsing the Web, and running applications. There’s also a standard 2.5mm headset jack that can be used with an ordinary headset, while the supported Bluetooth 2.0 technology allows compatibility with wireless stereo headsets. The supported microSD card slot on the BlackBerry 8820 means you’ve got the room you need for all your favorite pictures, music, and videos. Just load up what you need on a microSD card and go.

Calling Features
Many of the calling capabilities folks have come to expect in a wireless phone are present, but the BlackBerry 8820 ups the ante with MP3 and polyphonic ringtones. A vibrating alert, speed dial, and a contacts list/address book (limited only by the unit’s 64 MB of internal memory) are also included.

If your company has a BlackBerry Enterprise Server installed, you can also take advantage of the power of wireless calendar synchronization. Your calendar events are exchanged wirelessly and automatically so that your desktop calendar and BlackBerry handheld calendar are synchronized. All your Outlook meeting requests, changes, and updates are instantaneously synchronized instantaneously with your desktop. Make meeting requests, invite new attendees and more, all on your BlackBerry 8820. Users without BlackBerry Enterprise Server support can manually sync with their desktop calendars and contacts via Bluetooth or USB using the included BlackBerry Desktop Software.

PTT features on the BlackBerry 8820 include “availability” icons, quick group calling, and the ability to easily convert a PTT session to a regular wireless voice call. Customers can use their BlackBerry 8820 to Push-to-Talk to individual colleagues or friends, or set up groups for broader communication. The PTT button, on the left side of the device, easily facilitates each PTT call (simply press and hold to talk after the chirp and release when finished). In addition, the AT&T service offers such standard PTT features as call waiting, contact alerts, as well as text, picture, and voice messaging to anyone in their contact list.

The BlackBerry Pearl offers new features never before seen in a BlackBerry like, a 1.3 mega pixel camera, voice recognition, and an MP3 player to name a few. Try it for a few hours and you are hooked!Amazon.com Product Description
This major update to the popular BlackBerry 7105t brings the BlackBerry experience to a whole new level while adding a fresh infusion of color. The BlackBerry Sunset Pearl is not only thinner and lighter, but it also sports a memory card slot, a music player, and voice dialing, along with all the features you’d expect from any BlackBerry smartphone, including generous e-mail service, an integrated web browser, text messaging, instant messaging, organizer applications, and more. Add in such additional features as Bluetooth 2.0, EDGE high-speed data services, and the popular SureType keypad and you have a complete mobile office solution. And, of course, BlackBerry’s legendary push e-mail service is fully supported on the BlackBerry Sunset Pearl.

The SureType keypad makes the BlackBerry Sunset Pearl’s diminutive size possible.

Learn more about the handheld. You can also see it in 3D.

A 1.3-megapixel camera is housed in the back (black Pearl is pictured).

Design
Like the BlackBerry 7105t, the BlackBerry Sunset Pearl is a departure from the form factor of previous BlackBerry devices. This BlackBerry handset is far more phone-like, and RIM’s engineers have managed to fit a modified QWERTY keyboard onto the handset’s slim frame. Each button on the keyboard shares two letters and the unit automatically determines which letter you intend to type one based on what it believes you’re trying to spell. This unique predictive text technology–known as SureType–makes the handset’s diminutive size possible. SureType also learns the words you use most often, further enhancing your typing speed.

The BlackBerry Sunset Pearl sports a large 240 x 260 screen that supports more than 65,000 colors–plenty of real estate to view your e-mails, Web browser content, messaging sessions, and attachments. The venerable BlackBerry trackwheel, meanwhile, has been replaced on this model with an innovative four-way trackball placed below the screen. On the rear of the handheld, you’ll find a 1.3-megapixel camera that lets you take high-quality pictures wherever you roam. Other design details include a microSD memory card slot inside the device (behind the battery), a standard 2.5mm headset jack (the Sunset Pearl includes a headset), and a mini-USB port for data connectivity.

Calling Features
All the calling capabilities folks have come to expect in a wireless phone are present in the BlackBerry Sunset Pearl. The handset’s speakerphone makes it easy to use the device hands-free, or if you prefer, you can use a wireless headset via the Sunset Pearl’s built-in Bluetooth capability. The phone also offers a vibrating alert, a speed dial, and a contacts list/address book that’s limited only by the unit’s 64 MB of internal memory. Sunset Pearl owners who want to create caller-specific ringers can choose from the phone’s 32 polyphonic ringtones, making it easy to know who’s calling without looking at the handset, or they can visit T-Mobile’s t-zones mobile Web service to access even more ringtones. And thanks to the phone’s speaker-independent voice dialing function, you can call contacts with the sound of your voice. No prior voice training is required; simply say a contact’s name and the phone will dial the number.

The Sunset Pearl also offers a number of T-Mobile-specific features when combined with the right service plan, including myFaves support, which delivers unlimited any-network calling to your choice of five people, and quad-band worldwide support (850, 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz), which helps the phone function in every country where T-Mobile offers GPRS service.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
While the BlackBerry Sunset Pearl is a different kind of BlackBerry device, it still delivers the legendary BlackBerry e-mail experience. With BlackBerry service plans from T-Mobile, you can receive e-mails instantaneously from up to 10 e-mail accounts (personal and enterprise). BlackBerry’s push technology, meanwhile, makes it easier than ever to receive your e-mails. BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and stay continuously connected to your wireless network. As a result, you don’t have to retrieve your e-mails manually, but instead are discreetly notified by the Sunset Pearl each time a new e-mail arrives. The unit also offers built-in support for viewing e-mail attachments in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, WordPerfect, and PDF formats.

If your company has a BlackBerry Enterprise Server installed, you can take advantage of the power of wireless calendar synchronization with the Sunset Pearl. Your calendar events are exchanged wirelessly and automatically so that your desktop calendar and BlackBerry handheld calendar are synchronized. In addition, your Outlook meeting requests, changes, and updates are designed to synchronize instantaneously with your desktop, making it a breeze to make meeting requests, invite new attendees, and more. And users without BlackBerry Enterprise Server aren’t out of luck, as you can manually sync the Sunset Pearl with your desktop calendar and contacts via Bluetooth or USB using the included BlackBerry Desktop Software.

As with most smartphones, the Sunset Pearl lets you access the Internet from the palm of your hand, with an integrated Web browser, up-do-date stock quotes, news readers, weather reports, and more–all at fast speeds thanks to support for T-Mobile’s EDGE high-speed data network. Instant and wireless messaging are also built into the Sunset Pearl, with support for AOL, Yahoo, and ICQ instant messaging as well as SMS text messaging. Plus, users can receive and forward MMS messages.

Imaging and Entertainment
The BlackBerry Sunset Pearl kicks the fun up a notch with the inclusion of a 1.3-megapixel camera that offers an LED flash and white balance controls. How about some music? The handheld’s music player supports MP3, AAC, AAC+, and eAAC+ formats. And for those moments when you have some extra time on your hands, the handheld is compatible with game downloads and Java applications (available via the t-zones service).

Vital Statistics
The BlackBerry Sunset Pearl measures 2 by 4.2 by 0.57 inches (W x H x D), weighs 3.16 ounces, and features a lithium-ion battery that’s rated for up to 3.5 hours of digital talk time and up to 360 hours of digital standby time. The phone also comes with a one-year warranty.
