The Pearl 3G 9105 is a BlackBerry like no other. With its smallest handset to date, RIM is bridging the gap between consumer and business devices – and doing it in style.

The candybar form factor is largely unseen in a BlackBerry, but the 9105 pulls it off superbly. The same can be said of the keypad, which has the traditional 14-key setup of a feature phone, not the QWERTY keypad that RIM’s handsets are so well-known for. This provides a slim, stylish design for a device that is ideal for both fashion-conscious and business users.  

While the BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9105 maintains the design of a traditional feature phone, it gives the user a taste of the smartphone functions that make a BlackBerry so popular. These include the world-famous BlackBerry messenger (BBM), an application that allows BlackBerry users to communicate via a free live chat service. BBM also combines perfectly with RIM’s SureType technology to make text input as quick as possible.

However, it’s not just the BlackBerry operating system that’s packed into the 9105, it also packs a range of great features. These include 3G connectivity, a 3.2 Megapixel camera, WiFi & Bluetooth, GPS with BlackBerry maps, Facebook integration and MicroSD expansion up to 32GB. With this level of storage and the ability to playback up to 30 hours of music, the Pearl 3G also doubles up nicely as an MP3 player. 

With its traditional form factor and cutting-edge feature set, the BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9105 is perfect for the first time smartphone user, but also offers the performance of a high-end business device. It is now in stock and available for purchase at http://www.clove.co.uk
