  • AT&T's BlackBerry Pearl 8110 gets pretty in pink

    Filed under: Handsets , RIM , ATT , GSM , EDGE Pink Pearls are nothing new -- but a pink Pearl with a fancy silkscreen? That's another matter altogether. These 8110s imbued with a newfound sense of fashion are starting to show up in AT&T stores now, so get 'em while they're hot. [Thanks, Kal] Permalink | Email this | Comments

  • WiFi-less BlackBerry 8110 showing up in AT&T stores

    Filed under: Handsets , RIM , ATT , GSM , EDGE If you're just too cool for the WiFi found in AT&T's BlackBerry Pearl 8120 , we might suggest this little number. That's right, the slightly less 802.11-inclined 8110 is now finding its way into corporate stores, offering the same physical package as its counterpart plus the added bonus of GPS navigation. It's available for $149.99 after contract and rebate -- that's $50 less than the 8120, mind you -- and comes in your choice of red or the understated "titanium."

  • AT&T nabbing GPS-enabled BlackBerry Pearl 8110

    Filed under: Handsets , RIM , ATT , GSM , EDGE Merely months after we heard that the BlackBerry Pearl 8110 was headed to Rogers , Americans green with envy can finally chill. According to shots posted over at Boy Genius Report , the GPS-enabled 8110 looks to be making a B-line for AT&T outlets -- in two colors, no less (red is option two, for those curious). Word on the street has these ready to rock "in the next month or two," but your guess is as good as ours on price. Check the high-resolution snaps in the read link below.

  • AT&T's BlackBerry Pearl 8120 gets reviewed

    Filed under: Handsets , RIM , ATT , GSM , EDGE Now that BlackBerry Pearl 8120s are trickling into AT&T's retail channel , so are the reviews, and it looks like we have a worthy (if not modest) successor to the original 8100 on our hands. PC Magazine's quick look at RIM's latest "fashion" phone (we use that term very loosely here) reveals that the 8120 continues RIM's tradition of handling business tasks with aplomb while stepping up its personal game in a big way; the external microSD slot had no trouble taking an 8GB microSDHC slot, and let's be honest, there really isn't anything to not like about a 3.5mm headphone jack. Sound quality is apparently quite good -- another RIM trademark -- and the web browser has mercifully improved over what the 8100 brought to the table. Sadly, the WiFi apparently doesn't do much good; browsing with it doesn't yield much of a performance gain over EDGE for some reason (a problem seen on T-Mobile's Curve , too) and the lack of VoIP support is a bummer. Kudos to AT&T for protecting its voice revenues, we guess. Overall rating? 4 / 5, which we figure should be enough of an endorsement to swing a few BlackBerry faithful headlong into the 8120 boat.

  • Pearl 8100, original RAZR on their way out of AT&T stores?

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , RIM , ATT Grab your Kleenex, folks, because we've heard today that a couple of seemingly timeless pillars in AT&T's lineup might be breathing their last few breaths of in-store air. First up, the Pearl 8100 is due for replacement on all the networks that still offer it, with the 8110 and 8120 models taking their place depending on individual carriers' dispositions toward WiFi, and we're hearing that AT&T will be phasing out the older units this month in preparation for an April launch of the GPS-equipped 8110. Next -- and here's a shocker -- rumor has it that AT&T is also starting to close the door on the original Motorola RAZR V3. Not to worry; naturally, you'll still be able to get those great circa-2004 looks by picking up a V3xx , but the old-skool units appear to be on the verge of overstaying their welcome. Frankly, the writing's been on the wall there for a year, if not longer, so we're not sure that this is much more than a formality. We'll keep you updated on this one as soon as we here more.
