BlackBerry Pearl Named Product Of The Year

The Basex Research company has named Blackberry's popular Pearl the "Product of the Year". The Basex award is based on a very specific criteria that includes finding the product or service that has been launched in the last year and provides knowledge workers with the best tools to do their jobs.

"The BlackBerry Pearl exemplifies the type of device that has broken new ground and points the way to the future," said Jonathan B. Spira, CEO and chief analyst at Basex. "It is truly a masterpiece of design and the pearl- like trackball used for navigation allows the mobile knowledge worker to literally tap into tremendous functionality without a struggle. The Pearl provides the knowledge worker with as perfect a mobile telephony experience as possible," said David M. Goldes, president and senior analyst at Basex. "The designers of the Pearl created a better mobile phone and managed to add BlackBerry functionality without any compromises."
