BlackBerry Pearl Available from Cingular Featuring Push to Talk capabilities	By Cosmin Vasile, Communications News Editor 6th of December 2006, 08:18 GMT Adjust text size:


The new BlackBerry Pearl from Research In Motion will arrive on the shelves of selected Cingular Wireless stores beginning this week - just in time for the holiday shopping season - 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. 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. 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). Other features include Biz Finder, allowing users to look up a business or place of interest, and Fuel Finder, providing nearby locations with the lowest gas prices. The BlackBerry Pearl features support for polyphonic, mp3 and MIDI ring tones, and intuitive call management features such as smart dialing, conference calling, speed dialing and call forwarding. It also features a speakerphone and Bluetooth 2.0 for use with hands-free headsets and car kits. BlackBerry Desktop Manager synchronization via Bluetooth is also supported. The BlackBerry Pearl from Cingular is available for as low as $199.99 with a two-year commitment and after rebates. TeleNav GPS Navigator is available for additional monthly charges of $5.99 for 10 trips and $9.99 for unlimited trips.
