RIM and Orange Spain have recently announced the upcoming release of BlackBerry Pearl 8120 in pink, for all the Spanish ladies in need of a new
smartphone.

One of Pearl 8120's highlights is the Wi-Fi connectivity, which makes it compatible with Orange Spain's "Unico Empresas" UMA based service. This allows you to easily make calls over Wi-Fi networks.

The rest of the features packed in the 8120 include: a full QWERTY keypad, a 240 x 260 pixels TFT display with 65K colors, trackball navigation, Bluetooth 2.0, organizer, HTML browser, advanced email capabilities, a 3.5mm audio jack, Music and Video player, document viewer, a 2 Megapixel camera with flash and video, a suite of other useful applications like Roxio Media Manager and Roxio Photosuite 9 LE, 64MB of internal memory expandable up to 8GB and so on - all in a case that weighs 91 grams and measures 107 x 50 x 14 millimeters.

Unfortunately, neither RIM nor Orange Spain provided an image with the new and pink BlackBerry 8120, so we're presenting, in the picture on the left, the pink Pearl released in the US by Verizon (which looks about the same as the one to be launched in Spain).

Besides pink, on other global markets, the Pearl 8120 is also available in blue, titanium and sunset red, hence Spanish users will probably get at least one more color too, sometime in the future. In fact, a titanium version of 8120 is already featured on Orange's website (at this address), but since the carrier mentioned nothing about it, it might be the pink version but with a "wrong" picture.

Anyway, regardless of its color, the price of BlackBerry Pearl 8120 starts at 9 Euro (14 USD) - that's only with a contract agreement for two years and an expensive data plan.

With almost 11 million customers, Orange is among the first three Spanish carriers, but it's behind Vodafone (15.5 million users) and Telefónica's Movistar (23 million users), the latter being the only carrier to offer Apple's iPhone 3G in Spain, starting July 11.
