Pearl 9105 to break traddition with T9 keypad?
The often rumored BlackBerry 9100 is said to be geting an extra model that will be equipped with a traditional T9-style keypad rather than the hardware QWERTY keyboards the devices are known for best. To be called the 9105, there is even a mockup of the handset from the origin of the news, bbnews.pl. The 9105 is apparently due to appear on the European market, and the source maintains both the 9100 and 9105 will share the same version of the OS.
Otherwise, the 3G-capable handset is said to get 256MB of internal memory, a microSD card slot, Wi-Fi, GPS, an optical trackpad and a screen with a unusual resolution of 366x400. A 3.2-megapixel camera will be integrated, as will stereo Bluetooth and a 3.5mm audio jack.
Pricing or a release date for the device remains unknown, however. [via CrackBerry]
