The First BlackBerry with Traditional Keypads

Usually, the BlackBerry handsets has a qwerty keypads in it - not anymore! The new BlackBerry Pearl 9105 is the very First BlackBerry With Traditional Keypad. The new BlackBerry Pearl 3G actually comes in two models. The 9100, which is coming to AT&T, has a 20-key Pearl keypad with two letters on each key, and the 9105, which hasn't been announced by any US carrier, has a traditional 14-key phone keypad.




And this makes the 9105 a breakthrough model for RIM. While the vast majority of phones across the world have traditional phone keypads also known as "9-pads" to some, RIM has never released one before. The company's focus on texting meant they always thought of messaging first, so even the ancient little BlackBerry 950 had a full QWERTY setup.
