Research In Motion has added a white Pearl to its BlackBerry smartphone line. The new model is otherwise identical to the black version, which the company debuted last September in an effort to cut inroads into the consumer market. This broadening of focus may represent an evolution in the direction of the mobile phone market."The BlackBerry Pearl has proven that it's possible to provide a full-featured handset at an attractive price point with an uncompromising user experience and an extremely small, light and stylish design," said Mark Guibert, vice president of corporate marketing for Waterloo, Ontario-based Research In Motion.
Following the release of the black Pearl in September, RIM reported revenues of $835.1 million for the quarter ended Dec. 2 -- up 26.8 percent from the previous quarter and 49 percent from the year-ago period. Profits increased from 61 cents to 95 cents per share over the previous year.
