Just as expected, T-Mobile has made the BlackBerry 8120 Pearl officially official on their network. With WiFi in tow, the BlackBerry 8120 Pear takes consumer-oriented BlackBerry-ing to a new level on T-Mobile. Other carriers have been offering the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 for a tick, and now T-Mobile subscribers can join in on the fun. Of course, [...]

Following on Sprint , Alltel , and Verizon’s WiFi-equipped BlackBerry 8120 Pearl offerings, the GSM variant of the handset is slated to hit T-Mobile’s network this coming February - with a WiFi radio in place of the GPS module in the 8130. We’re looking for a February 18th launch date, to be exact. The T-Mobile BlackBerry 8120 Pearl will rock the expected integrated WiFi radio that we saw all those other carriers launch recently . And, as such, the GSM-based BlackBerry 8120 Pearl will feature a revised keyboard and trackball and a microSD card slot to complement its built-in WiFi. Oh, and that WiFi should make this BlackBerry 8120 Pearl a shoe-in for T-Mobile’s HotSpot@Home service. For now, T-Mobile will be cleaning out its BlackBerry 8100 Pearl inventory over this holiday shopping season. It makes sense to move out the old stock before the new shipments start to flow free. Unfortunately, that means that there are going to be a lot of disappointed BlackBerry 8100 Pearl owners out there when they find out that their awesome Christmas gift was pretty much outdated before they even unwrapped it. If only they had been up to date on the info that IntoMobile provided on just this matter … [Via: Engadget Mobile ] ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:BlackBerry 8120, the new Pearl?RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8120 will not have GPS; to launch on AT&T before T-MobileRIM planning BlackBerry 8110 Pearl with GPS?BlackBerry Pearl 8120 with WiFi and GPS spotted on FCCBlackBerry Pearl 2 (8120) live shots and details

It looks like Alltel’s keeping up with its larger wireless rivals. The recently launched CDMA BlackBerry 8130 Pearl with that glorious integrated GPS receiver will be making its way to Alltel’s network sporting an “amethyst” color scheme. Expect the Alltel BlackBerry 8130 Pearl to pack in all the same hardware as its Sprint and Verizon kin - which is to say that it’ll rock GPS, EVDO, 2 megapixel camera, microSDHC card slot, and that SureType keyboard. Alltel says they’ll be launching their BlackBerry 8130 Pearl in time for the holiday shopping season (which is quite literally upon us), so look for this new Pearl to drop fairly soon. Oh, and it’ll cost you $150 after a $100 rebate (2-year contract required, of course).

It looks like our friends to the North are getting in on the BlackBerry Pearl 2.0 party. Telus has just made the BlackBerry Pearl 2.0 (we know it better as the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 ) official for maple-syrup lovers in Canada. The GPS-packin’ BlackBerry Pearl 2.0 is expected to hit the Telus network at $199.99 with a 3-year contract (we’re assuming that’s Canadian dollars, not like it matters now that the Looney is on par with the USD), or $499.99 free and clear. If you’re willing to sign away three years of your wireless life, $199.99 doesn’t sound too bad for a GPS Pearl. On the other hand, it’s going to be an obsolete handset in a year or so - that three-year commitment is pretty hardcore.

Verizon’s finally gearing up to release their 2.0 version of the popular BlackBerry Pearl - the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 is now available on pre-order from Verizon’s website. The Pearl 2.0, as you’ll remember, takes the hip style of the original BlackBerry Pearl and adds EVDO and a boost to a 2 megapixel camera. Oh, and you’ll have to settle for integrated GPS navigation and an improved web browser - we’re sure you’ll manage. For just $200, you get dibs on the Verizon BlackBerry Pearl 8130 when it ships out on November 8. We were expecting Verizon to drop the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 on us today, but a pre-order announcement is good enough. Of course, the $100 discount that gets you the $200 price-tag is only available online - and after you sign away your freedom for 2 years.

As expected , Verizon Wireless has just announced four new handsets for their holiday lineup. We were looking for Verizon to drop the Samsung Juke, BlackBerry Pearl, LG Venus, and LG Voyager on us soon, and the wait is over. It looks like RIM’s recently announced BlackBerry 8130 Pearl 2.0 is going to Verizon Wireless. The new CDMA-based BlackBerry Pearl is updated to 2.0-status with a 2 megapixel camera, updated software, and integrated GPS - that’s right, GPS on the Pearl! The Samsung Juke will be pulling musicphone duty with that interesting swivel form-factor and 2GB of onboard storage. Expect to get your swivel-on in red, blue, and teal. LG’s VX8800 Venus and VX10000 Voyager will be spicing up Verizon’s lineup with some slick, touchscreen action. The LG Venus is a dual-screen slider with haptic feedback (vibrating touchscreen), 2 megapixel camera, and A2DP Bluetooth. Bigger brother LG Voyager comes packing the big guns - like a huge external touchscreen and internal display with a vertical clamshell setup that reveals a full QWERTY keyboard. As the successor to Verizon’s LG VX9900 , the LG Voyager will sport a full-HTML browser and stereo speakers. Look for these handsets to be available through the next month. Pricing information is not yet available. Good luck with them holiday sales numbers, Verizon. We hear that Apple and HTC are gunning for the top spot in that game.
