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?
Sounds about right, except that Cingular said they are not releasing the Pearl until after the Holidays. Some speculation on that since I wondered why would Cing pass on selling during the Holidays unless T-Mo had the exclusive until Jan 1, 2007.

So your post makes me wonder. If T-Mo only has exclusive till Dec 1, why would Cing not sell the Pearl during the all important Holiday season?
