It's small, smart and stylish. The BlackBerry Pearl is a smartphone with plenty of "wow", and SunCom Wireless and Research In Motion announce SunCom will now offer the BlackBerry Pearl to its customers.

The BlackBerry Pearl packs a lot of power, and yet it weighs only 3.1 ounces – less than most people's wallets or keys – and measures only 4.2 inches long, 1.97 inches wide and .57 inches deep.

SunCom Wireless is the first carrier to offer the BlackBerry Pearl with a new two-toned, silver and black finish. This super-slim and stylish handset provides an enticing combination of business and entertainment-related applications that are sure to please the traditional BlackBerry smartphone enthusiast while also appealing to new customers who want to replace their older phone with a handset that will support multimedia and keep them connected with friends and family.
