The 8100g is a quad-band GSM/EDGE BlackBerry with SureType QWERTY keyboard and slim design. It is also the first BlackBerry phone to feature built-in camera and microSD slot, which can be used for storing of images and multimedia content, as the phone features music and video players. Earlier information shows that the Pearl will have 240x260 pixels display with light-sensor, and the T-Mobile logo on it tips us that this time it won t be Cingular customers that will get their hands on the phone first.
