I was at a T-Mobile store this morning and picked up a Pearl folder packet. It had a bunch of marketing materials and stuff in it. One of the brochures, Blackberry Pearl FAQ Job Aid had this in it:

Q: Who else will be selling the Blackberry Pearl?
A: The BlackBerry Pearl will be sold exclusively by T-Mobile until December 1, 2006.

Attached is a scan of part of the brochure.

So I guess that means Cingular wont release it until after 12/1/2006?
