U.S. mobile phone carrier, T-Mobile, has started distributing Blackberry Pearl handsets that aren't Black or Pearl. Though there's no release date yet for Australia, the new Research In Motion (RIM) colours for the BlackBerry Pearl 8100include blue, sunset (red) and pale gold. The device that raised RIM's credentials as a consumer smartphone player will enter a new era with the colourful addition to the range. "Our customers love the BlackBerry Pearl for its great design and feature-set," said Leslie Grandy, Vice President of Product Development, T-Mobile USA. "And for those customers initially drawn to the sleek look of the device, the new personal email service plan really lets them experience the BlackBerry Pearl's easy-to-use email features at a compelling price." Mark Guibert, Vice President, Corporate Marketing at Research In Motion, said, "The BlackBerry Pearl has changed the way many people think about BlackBerry smartphones and has become one of the most popular products we've ever released. Consumers and business professionals alike have been drawn to its unique combination of powerful features and ultra-sleek design. "With three stylish new colors and attractive new pricing options, the BlackBerry Pearl is a more intriguing choice than ever for T-Mobile customers," said. The new colours are likely a refresh before the company releases the Pearl MkII which is expected to upgrade a number of features on the existing Pearl such as the camera. THe existing 2 megapixel is rumoured to be getting an upgrade to 3.2 megapixel.
