BlackBerry 8100 Pearl myFaves Phone

Research In Motion has long wanted to get out into the consumer phone market where there are much greater volumes: 75 million phones are sold each quarter in EMEA, compared with around 700,000 email devices. The company's market research has told it the only way to do that is to make a device which includes a camera, a media player and removable storage - and to make it small and light.

The result is a device that manages to combine traditional BlackBerry strengths with the joys of a small phone, and seems likely to combine the best of both worlds. It has been widely predicted that RIM - perhaps still stinging from lawsuit-induced woes earlier this year - will fade before other devices, but this device is strong argument against that.
