RIM says goodbye to the Pearl Flip, Curve, and Storm

BlackBerry According to a leaked document from RIM, three of the manufacturer’s BlackBerry smartphones are soon to be no more. The Pearl Flip, original Storm and Curve 8330 are on their way to retirement says the document, which lists them as “Current devices with limited or no remaining shipments from the vendor.”

The Pearl was a decidedly unpopular model to begin with. Designed to be consumer friendly, most simply didn’t find the clamshell design or tiny keyboard attractive. The candy-bar version of the Pearl did much better, and the updated Pearl 9100 is due soon. The Storm launched to great fanfare and demand but soon found itself surrounded by a storm of complaints thanks to buggy firmware and poorly built hardware. RIM made amends with the release of the Storm 2 a few months ago. The Curve on the other hand was wildly popular and stable, but has been replaced with the Curve 2.

Rumor has it RIM could be preparing to release up to a dozen new handsets this year. If you love BlackBerry, stay tuned!
