They are too hard to find in UK, i just sold my 9105 and im already missing it, i thought i'll get the keyboard version second hand but they are too hard to find in UK.

That is because the 9100 never officially sold in the UK. You will have to find a way to buy an unlocked 9100 from a North American retailer willing to export it to you.

It is a mystery why RIM felt the need to deprive all of Europe the 9100 and sending only the 9105 without at least sending both.

I must be a LUCKY guy then because I have one of the rare 9100 in UK

The 9100 can be purchased in the UK but it is not cheap. try here:.........kickmobiles.com

I got my 9100 from Canada, when Virgin sold them for 95 (or so) CAD. A friend of mine bought and sent it to me. I had to pay some import tax about 50 GBP to get it.

Got mine in the UK from eBay. A chap was selling them brand new with factory installed SK Telecom OS6 but they had a Korean keypad as he'd sourced them from South Korea.

Removed all Korean lamguages, bought a replacement English keypad (see my thread here) and changed it so now it's as good as a US one.

I think RIM missed a trick with not having a proper replacement for the Pearl, it's unbeatable for casual users who want BB email without carrying a large handset.
