Gizmodo reports the BlackBerry Pearl 2 will be even smaller, than the existing Pearl lines.
How much smaller? 8mm in depth and 30% less than the current Pearls.
The goal is to compete with the Motorola RAZRs.
The downsizing of the form factor won't have any effect on the Pearl 2 camera. We're talking 2 megapixels, as compared to the 1.3's in the current Pearls.
MicroSD card as well.
OK, let's play "Jeopardy." I'll be Alex Trebek:
