Hutch India and Research In Motion (RIM) have jointly launched the BlackBerry Pearl 8100 smartphone in the country.

The BlackBerry Pearl 8100 comes complete with phone, digital camera, and multimedia capabilities. It offers the full BlackBerry experience, including, e-mail with multiple email account management, group messaging, attachment viewing, instant messenger, organizer applications, Web browsing, and other mobile applications.

The smartphone has a large, ultra-bright 240x260 color display, megapixel camera with 3 zoom levels (up to 5X), and built-in flash, multimedia player with stereo headset jack, 64 MB flash memory, and microSD expansion slot.

It features push-technology, Sure Type keyboard with QWERTY layout, new intuitive user interface, call management features, and other first-rate phone features with speaker independent voice recognition (SIVR) for voice activated dialing (VAD), dedicated 'send', 'end', and 'mute' keys.

In addition, the 8100 smartphone supports Hutch India's GSM/GPRS/EDGE network, thus allowing customers to use the quad-band BlackBerry Pearl while traveling overseas.

Moreover, BlackBerry Enterprise Server support integrates with Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino, and Novell GroupWise environments, and features a new set of IT policy controls for IT departments to administer camera and expansion memory settings.

The phone supports up to 16 days of standby time, and 3.5 hours of talk time.

With this launch, there are now four BlackBerry models available in the Indian market: namely, the BlackBerry 8100 Pearl; the BlackBerry 8700g; the BlackBerry 7130g; and the BlackBerry 7290.

The BlackBerry Pearl 8100 is available at a price of Rs 24,990, while the other phones are available for Rs 29,990, Rs 14,990, and Rs 19,490 respectively.

Its Not always necessary to make a comment on anything & everything.Its nowhere mentioned in the article that its the first time entry for Blackberry in India. Sometimes its better to keep hush!!
