During the past few weeks we&#8217;ve heard stronger and stronger rumors about RIM releasing a Pearl with a T9 keyboard. Why? I just can&#8217;t figure it out. RIM has created the world&#8217;s premier communications\/messaging platform. Why do they think that people want a device that will make it harder to communicate? This is my final rant on the topic, but I think I cover all the bases in this one.<\/p>\n<p>The BlackBerry 9800? It has a Storm-sized screen, which is nice in a way because it likely means another touch device. It is disappointing in another, though, because it will mean that over three generations of touch devices we won&#8217;t see improved resolution. Will it be the slider? Will it be a regular touch? That&#8217;s information we&#8217;re still waiting to hear.<\/p>\n<p>Also of note, the BlackBerry Curve 9300 got outed this week. This will be good for GSM customers, who will finally get a Curve on 3G. For CDMA customers, though, I&#8217;m wondering what kind of upgrades this will provide over the 8530. The screen resolution remains the same, so what else can RIM put in a potential 9330 to add value? <\/p>\n<p>This post originated at BBGeeks.com &#8211; home to all things <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbgeeks.com\">Blackberry<\/a>!
