WOW!! That was very quick launch in India after all. I love RIM more than ever for taking Indian market into great level and serious. Today, RIM launched two BlackBerry Pearl 3G handsets in India at an event in Mumbai. The BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9100 and the BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9105 are the smallest handsets in the BlackBerry range and come with many impressive features. The prices of the handsets have not been announced yet.
The BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9100 has a 20-key condensed QWERTY keyboard while the BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9105 has a 14-key traditional phone keyboard. The handsets come in candybar designs. They are less 50mm thick and weigh approximately 93gms. They support 3G network. Both the handsets have SureType software that makes it easy for typing.

The bb does look sleek, noticed the normal keypad but I personally feel blackberry charm is its QWERTY keypad.
