BlackBerry has shucked the oyster to reveal its latest smartphone: the Pearl. Many features make the new BlackBerry much more phone-like, in answer to the common complaint that previous models were great for on-the-go email, but terrible phones. The Pearl is smaller with a full-color display, a 1.3 MP camera with flash, software for checking and writing e-mail, instant messaging, browsing the web, and, of course, easy navigation by the centrally located "pearl-like" trackball.
