RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8120 - silver (T-Mobile)

In case any of you T-Mobile customers were frothing with jealousy over AT&T's next-gen RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8120, you can rest easy knowing that you'll be able to get your hands on one starting April 14. T-Mobile's version is largely like the AT&T model, though it does add support for...

RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8120 (AT&T)

RIM BlackBerry Pearl Red (AT&T)

When the RIM BlackBerry Pearl debuted back in September 2006, T-Mobile had an exclusive on the phone for a few months. However, Cingular/AT&T wasn't too far behind to snatch up the sexy Pearl, and we don't blame them. It's the first BlackBerry to offer a built-in camera, video and music...

RIM BlackBerry Pearl (Cingular)

Quick take: It's no secret that Cingular would get its own version of the RIM BlackBerry Pearl, since it was announced at the fall CTIA 2006 show. Now, it's officially available through the carrier for $199.99 with a two-year contract and after rebates. If you want e-mail, you'll need to...
