Research In Motion today unveiled their latest phones in the BlackBerry Bold 9650 and the BlackBerry Pearl 3G. The Bold, which will see support from Sprint, offers a 3.2-megapixel camera, GPS and Wi-Fi. The Pearl will be supported by AT&T and T-Mobile 3G networks and will also feature a 3.2-megapixel camera, GPS, and Wi-Fi; both are said to have a large, high-resolution screen.
“The new BlackBerry Bold 9650 is an extraordinary smartphone that we think customers will love. Whether at work or at play, the new BlackBerry Bold 9650 offers a truly impressive communications, multimedia and connectivity experience,” said Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO at Research In Motion. “The BlackBerry Pearl 3G is unlike any other Smarthphone in the world and we expect a broad range of new and existing customers will be drawn to its powerful features and compact design. Considering the fast growing consumer interest in Smarthphones and the fact that more than three-quarters of the people in the global mobile phone market are still buying handsets with a traditional alphanumeric keypad, we think the new BlackBerry Pearl 3G addresses a substantial market opportunity.”
While the Apple’s iPhone continues to be the dominating force in smartphones, BlackBerry maintains a loyal fanbase and these new models are heavily anticipated.
