The new BlackBerry Pearl from Research In Motion will arrive on the shelves of select Cingular Wireless stores beginning tomorrow with an exclusive look and new features, including Cingular-exclusive Push to Talk (PTT) capabilities and a GPS-based wireless navigation service.

The BlackBerry Pearl is the first BlackBerry handset to come with a digital camera, multi-media capabilities and an expandable memory slot, while continuing to provide the full BlackBerry experience that is widely popular throughout the world. Beneath its sleek and stylish exterior, which measures just 4.2" x 1.97" x .57" and weighs only 3.1 ounces, the BlackBerry Pearl from Cingular is a quad-band GSM/GPRS and EDGE-enabled mobile application powerhouse delivering the fast performance of the latest generation BlackBerry handset platform. The built-in 64MB flash memory is now expandable with a microSD card, giving users plenty more storage for music, pictures and videos.

Unique features of the BlackBerry Pearl from Cingular include Cingular's Push to Talk service and the availability of TeleNav GPS Navigator for turn-by-turn driving directions.

BlackBerry Pearl customers can use the Cingular Push to Talk service to stay connected with individual colleagues or friends, or set up groups for broader communication. The PTT button on the left side of the BlackBerry Pearl easily facilitates each PTT call. In addition, the Cingular service offers standard PTT features such as call waiting, contact alerts, and voice messaging to anyone in their contact list.

Cingular customers can receive GPS turn-by-turn voice and on-screen driving directions on the BlackBerry Pearl with TeleNav GPS Navigator (Bluetooth GPS Receiver accessory required). TeleNav GPS Navigator can be used in vehicles or while walking and offers colorful 3D moving maps. Just like an in-car navigation system, the 3D maps turn, move and stop as the vehicle does the same, while also displaying a realistic image of the streets the vehicle is approaching and streets they are passing. Users can also pan and zoom the map to view surrounding streets.

Images appear incredibly vivid and crisp on the BlackBerry Pearl's large, ultra-bright, high resolution (240 x 260) display. Built-in light-sensing technology automatically adjusts the screen and keypad brightness for optimum viewing in outdoor, indoor or dark environments. Along with an intuitive Cingular-exclusive user interface, the BlackBerry Pearl also features a supple, responsive trackball that makes vertical and lateral scrolling fast and easy.

Featuring a 1.3 megapixel camera with built-in flash and 5x digital zoom, users can snap a picture and instantly share it with friends and family by email, MMS or BlackBerry Messenger. Photos can also be set as caller ID images, and can be easily transferred between the handset and a computer using the included USB cable.
