Blackberry Pearl 8120 is the second generation of Pearl device and adds some new features to the line up. The first and most important change is the added Wi-Fi functionality, which was missing in the previous model. There is an update in the Bluetooth connectivity to allow A2DP supportfor stereo output and the camera is now a boasting 2 mega pixel resolution.

It seems that RIM are trying to break away from the strictly business image of their handsets by enhancing multimedia capabilities. Blackberry Pearl 8120 also features video recording and the playable video formats now include WMV in addition to the MPEG4 and H.263. Luckily, the added functionality has not resulted in any increase in dimensions and the new Pearl still stands at the compact 107 x 50 x 14 mm with only weight grown by 2 grams to a total of 91g.
