Upcoming BlackBerry Pearl 9100 expected to feature a full QWERTY?

This article contains unofficial information.
As there have been leaked shots previously of the BlackBerry Pearl 9100 smartphone, one would really be thrown off after speculations that it might offer a full QWERTY keypad. TrueSupplier, a BlackBerry parts manufacturer, is offering the more spacious full QWERTY keypad for the soon to be available Pearl 9100 – which currently sports the traditional SureType keypad akin to it. Now there seems to be something fishy with this whole thing as it's unlikely that RIM will offer two different variants of the same handset – nor will they offer some kind of interchangeable part to accommodate for both keypads. One thing is for sure, it'd be extremely difficult attempting to type away on the confined full QWERTY option. Although there might be a distinct possibility of this happening, we'd suspect that this could've been used for something like a prototype – still, there's probably a segment out there that would really find this useful on the handset.

i hated sure type when i had my pearl allthough i did get used to it. i'd prefer a full qwerty but idk if it will be for the better to have individual set keys. I mean the sure type keys were small enough... i'd imagine the qwerty keys being so much tinier. i guess we'll have to see though.

Isnt the sure type the main thing that made the pearl, the pearl? Without it, its not different from the curve really.
