The BlackBerry 9105, a variant of RIM’s next pearl with a traditional numeric keypad, has posed for the camera once more, giving us a nice close look at the keyboard and some of the new input options.
Specs-wise, we’re expecting the 9105 to be a lot like the BlackBerry Pearl 9100, another unreleased device that seems to differ only by having the original SureType keypad. That being said, the Pearl 9100 (and likely 9105) has Wi-Fi b/g/n, 3G, GPS, a 360 x 400 display, 256 MB memory, 3.2 megapixel camera, optical trackpad, and external multimedia keys like the 8500 series.
We have an inkling that Telus will be picking up the BlackBerry Pearl 9105, and if it’s getting rolled out to the carriers that are also getting the BlackBerry 9100, then Rogers could very well get the 9105. Still no indication of U.S. carriers, but if we end up seeing a launch at WES next week, we won’t have to wait long to find out who’s offering the 9105.
