Have you ever listened to Ini Kamoze's "Here comes the hot stepper" song? If you haven't, you might get an idea of what he wanted to say by taking a look at the new Haier Black Pearl mobile phone. Well it isn't a very big "hot stepper", but it does deliver quite a punch with what it has in its backpack.

The Black Pearl features an MP3 player ready to play all your favorite songs, which can be stored on a TransFlash card of up to 1 gigabyte that can be crammed into its memory expansion TransFlash card slot, an FM tuner for all of you that like to listen to the favorite radio station while on-the-go, a voice recorder, a quite improbable 3D graphics chipset, an OLED screen display, a thumb rocker, stereo Bluetooth, and miniUSB support.

If you go over its dimensions, and the necessity of very small finger tips to operate this handset, you might consider it a very impressive little phone, which will most probably be a tremendous hit in kid fashion stores. Do not be fooled tough! It is a very serious contender to all fashion phones that roam the mobile phone market these days, and I won't be surprised if super models will make it a must have in today's fashion world.

The Haier press department hasn't yet published any info about the device's price or release date, but I'm more than sure that any carrier would be very happy to have it in its mobile phone line-up.
