These are rumors, but it's logical to assume that if the BlackBerry Pearl 8100 has a camera, a QWERTY keyboard version with a camera also will be offered.

What I'm bummed about is the 8100 doesn't include video recording capability. I've been told that's because of chipset integration issues and the fear by RIM that it would reduce battery life, thereby upsetting users who buy the Pearl in large part because of its e-mail feature.

Not being able to listen to music on a Pearl because of a dead battery could be irritating. But not being able to receive e-mail is a much more important consideration.

Personally, I think users would quickly understand the correlation between battery life and video recording.

Perhaps video recording ability will be added to the 8900.]]>Jan 25th 2007 4:08PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/01/24/blackberry-8800-to-be-announced-next-month/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/01/24/blackberry-8800-to-be-announced-next-month/Blackberry Pearl 8800...
