Blackberry Pearl approved by FCC

The Blackberry Pearl from Research In Motion is the slimmest Blackberry handset to date. Also known as the 8100g, this quad-band GSM/EDGE device comes with SureType QWERTY keyboard for speedier typing on a limited keyboard. Additional features include a built-in camera, a microSD card slot, music and video playback capabilities, and a 240 x 260 pixel display. The Pearl has already been approved by the FCC, and word on the street is the Pearl will be available on T-Mobile first.
