Who Needs a RIM Blackberry Pearl?

RIM announced the new Blackberry Pearl which is targeted for mass audience (meaning something cheap). Who needs this when in a couple of months Apple 4G will be rolled out in the market pushing down the 3G and 3GS for mass market appeal.

This model though will have a traditional keypad unlike most smartphones today which have touch user interface.

Well I guess many people out there still want those keypads where typing 100 letters a minute is a zich.
