RIM BlackBerry slider coming soon
February 26, 2010
There is no confirmation of a new BlackBerry slider smartphone from RIM, but such a handset has a very high chance of being introduced in due moment. Apparently, it will be a portrait-oriented slider that will run on the BlackBerry 6.0 operating system, boasting support for Wi-Fi 802.11n connectivity. Strangely suitable, the resolution remains in the dark ages at 360 × 480 pixels. No view on whether that is a touchscreen display handset, so we'll just have to wait until the device rolls out officially.

BlackBerry Pearl 9100 spotted
February 3, 2010
Looks like RIM's upcoming BlackBerry Pearl 9100 has already been spotted despite not being released officially just yet, with whispers that it will be available from T-Mobile in the US or Wind in Canada. We do know that the Pearl 9100 will support WCDMA bands I, IV and VIII - which translates to 2100MHz, 1700MHz (AWS) and 900MHz. Having said that, a logical conclusion would point towards T-Mobile and Wind since they're the only North American carriers which rely on the 1700MHz spectrum. Features of the BlackBerry Pearl 9100 include 3G support, a SureType QWERTY keypad, Wi-Fi connectivity, an optical trackpad and a camera with LED flash.
