How to: BlackBerry Pearl 8100 Keypad layout

September 8th, 2006

BlackBerry Pearl 8100 KeysThe all new 8100 series BlackBerry Pearl is unlike any other BlackBerry ever offered by Research In Motion. To help persons transition from the old to new, we will be compiling a series of articles explaining and detailing some of the Pearl’s features and assets.

We have included in this posting a layout of the unique keypad of the Pearl. The first thing any BlackBerry user will notice different on the Pearl is the absence of the popular ‘thumb wheel’ which RIM had pioneered. A more common center navigation key or trackball is now the main source of control. Users will also notice the addition of a menu key which is also new to the BlackBerry handhelds.
