Condensed qwerty keyboard is a keyboard type existing in previous Pearl product. So, there are two buttons in one letter that can be selected. While a traditional keyboard is a keyboard in general. One button is filled by 3-4 letters in it.
“We deliberately give a choice like this to make it easier for users to adjust. Because the results of our research, there are still many who want a traditional keyboard, not always qwerty. However, the features in it together”.
In addition, the variant was also continued in color shades that wrap the cover is the smallest BlackBerry. No longer presented with a choice of black, but there was also a choice of green, yellow, purple, red, to pink.
