Isn't it time someone leaked some pictures?

Yea, come on people! Those NDAs and the threat of losing your job for no good reason shouldn't be stopping you!

</sarcasm>

lol

It will probably look like the regular Pearl, except it will have Verizon and Sprint branding on it.

sorry, but I used to love the fact that I could see new product before anyone else, why ruin the fun?

That's kinda weird seeing Tmobile or at&t will get it first.

What is this? SPAM? Your links have no pictures of the Pearl 2.

I know there's already pictures out there about Pearl 2 but I don't remember where it is at.

Negative, the Pearl 2 will be the CDMA version of the Pearl then has been anticipated for months.

Rumor: Palm "Gandolf" Real, Blackberry Pearl 2 On the Way - Gizmodo

BlackBerry Pearl 2 and Palm Gandolf Confirmed By Sprint | RIMarkable | The official, unofficial BlackBerry Weblog

actually, i saw some articles stating that tmo will get it first

Every article and blog mentioning the Pearl 2 that I have seen has said it will be CDMA. I haven't seen one mentioning Tmobile.

Depending on the version, I fully expect T-Mobile to carry the 8120 (WiFi) and AT&T to get the 8110 (GPS) with Verizon and Sprint likely sharing the 8130 at some point. I've heard time frames from September to December with no specifics on carriers or devices.

When its released, with wifi and all, will you be able to use any wifi access? Like the iphone?

For data, yes. For voice, only if you're on TMO US (or another carrier that offers UMA/GAN functionality, although there is no one else at this point, to my knowledge).

Really?

Considering all this info is coming from Blogs, not official channels, its all speculation I guess.

considering the unofficial information coming from those blogs are coming from official sources, albeit not published official sources, i would think they'll prove to be fairly reliable

So was the info that it would be CDMA.

And your actually thinking Verizon will get something early or with everyone else? They will get it late ... usually 6 months to a year late. And when it does come, it will be hobbled for one reason or another so you don't get choices if its a Verizon phone.

Pearl 2 is GSM ... its not coming to Verizon yet. Rumor has it that it is AT&T first, them T-Mo.

History and Verizon track record tells me that they will not get it first. Track record tells me that they will be last to get it. Although, I do admit the 8830 came more quickly than the 6 months to a year late. Maybe they will be getting devices sooner now .... but I seriously doubt first. And I seriously doubt unhobbled.

I will take BG's blog over the ones you said. He is usually spot on who it is going to maybe not exact dates but those always change.

I know that what anyone says at this point is speculation (as we all do), but i really really really doubt it would go to CDMA first, esp Sprint. Just doesn’t make sense at all. With GSM blackberry can just rebrand the phone, and sell it world wide, which is why all of there phones are GSM to begin with. Theres really no compelling reason for it to go sprint anyway.

Maybe not Sprint, but there are a hell of a lot of Verizon users in this country who would flock to this phone.

Not as many GSM.

Enough to make it profitable. Hell the 8830 for Sprint is so popular, most stores don't even have them.

I can vouch for that. I got mine Wednesday and it took 5 big stores to find one.

so I know you may not know, but is the pearl 2 coming in September for sprint? Or are they not sure yet

oops. Double post. Please delete.

Doesn't look that way

Such hatred!?! I love T-Mobile's service.

Same here. And with those pics from pinstack today, I'm definitely upgrading when TMO releases it.

Color scheme looks very Verizon-ish

if that comes in that ugly gold i wont be buying it thats the ugliest thing I have ever seen.

Wow gold 8320 now gold 8120??? It seems like RIM is changing their consumers target toward pimps, rappers, and baller wannabe's haha.

The black has been spotted as well. No info on which specific colors each carriers will be offering, though.

Oh vzw please black, please black.....

I'm willing to BET that Gold on both the 8320 & 8120 WiFi BB's (Curve & Pearl wifi variants; respectively) are going for TMobile. Maybe even a same month launch ?!

Double WHAMI stylee.

its okay to be a baller, shockalla!

Either way its tantalizing.

I'm just PEEVED at marketing strategy to not include GPS. I wanna install that new app in beta Blip but I don't think it'll work with a BT-GPS puck. :(

IS wifi locked on t-mobile? I would love to have wi-fi if you can use it on any wireless acces point. I think? tmo dash d0es that.


Are tmo phones locked to lnly use tnoble hot spots?
