Popular Electronics is advertising the Pearl 9100 as noted below:
Item #: Pearl 9100 Price: $399.99 Availability: Tuesday 15 December, 2009 Here is the link to their site. Is the credability to their posting or just speculation? BlackBerry Pearl 9100 Unlocked Quad Band GSM Cell Phone - Popular Electronics |
I could probably pick one up today for $1,500
|
Here's some of the latest pictures - comparing it to the old Pearl.

does blackberry hate the ball now!? what's so pearl about it now Dx!
|
I don't know if that's how the name Pearl came about, but having used the new trackpad, I can't speak for everyone out there, but the trackpad in my experience is far superior to the trackball.
Also, the trackball, collects dust, and gets stuck, and many users have complained about this with their BBs. I'm just hoping for a Flip 2 with all the Bold 9700 tech in it :) |
Yes, that was the point.
The trackball looked like a Pearl. hence the name. |
Well, after 3 years, my trackball looks less like a pearl and more like a turd. They yellow into a not-so-nice looking ball after a while.
Although, I use Blingball to light it up and it takes the yellow look out when it does light up. I have it set to "white" which turns all the LEDs on and gives it more of an "opal" look with the various colors being more prominant depending on which way you look at it. I know I can get a replacement ball cheap, but I just never got around to it. |
I think thats why the Curve 8900 has a black ball, it wouldn't discolour.
Though the 9000 didn't, and their release wasn't that far apart. Im glad they are moving to a trackpad. |
When will this phone be out?

I have no clue when this was posted but I just googled blackberry pearl 9100 release date and this popped up RIM BlackBerry Pearl 9100 (RIM Stratus) Detailed Specs | Technical Specifications | PDAdb.net - Comprehensive Database of PDA, PDA Phone, Smartphone, PNA & Mobile Device Specifications
|
NO WI-FI?!?!?!? BOOOOOO!!! :cry:

The ultimate marketing idea is shown below...I probably shoulda kept it a secret huh? Ah well screw it, I'll be rich some other day, some other way riiiiiight?
IMO, I'd offer two versions of the 9100; 9100C: One WITH "Classic" trackBALL (for all us nostalgic/new Pearl users, aka ME[just recieved mine August 2009) and 9100: The "New" one with trackPAD (for all those who don't wanna/too lazy to clean phone every 3 months, also me [but control in BrickBreaker w/trackBALL>trackPAD, and lord knows I have to beat EVERYONE at BrickBreaker:razz:] God, BB would make so much cash on that idea...I'd most likely even pay a PREMIUM FOR the "Classic" version [eg $30-50 more] as a "special edition" or something just to make it slightly more unique?:? |
