Thanks. agreed. I would prefer a darker color, but it still looks very nice.

The "pearl II" will retail at $499. As of right now not sure of any other instant rebates/overlays other than the 150* with new 2yr. Colors kinda fruity alittle darker than the i880 for iden.

Really? And VZW really sells the thing for $315 retail?

Way to go Sprint!

$315 retail? Maybe to a new activation or outright to a large corporate customer at that price... But I very much doubt that is the outright, no contract price for consumers.

I'm on board to get the Pearl once it is released. It will be my FIRST Blackberry (Switching from a Treo) I cannot believe I will be out and about on Black Friday this year. :(

I work at radio shack so I'm hoping I can just snag one from there since we sell sprint

Yup...that means we will have to fight with all of those crazy people who actually go shopping on Black Friday.

[Kidberry]

order via Phone or Sprint.com 11/16. thought I'd clarify.

The 8130 will be $199 after a $100 mail-in-rebate from Sprint. I poked around Sprint's website and did some guessing at editing the URL input and this beauty popped up.

It's the 19th and this doesn't appear to be true.

[Kidberry]

Stabs, you're right about Sprint.com. Was told that agents would be able to place orders on 17th. I'm not too interested in Pearl so haven't called and calling Sprint CS is not on the top of my list.

I would love to know where you guys are getting these prices from. Verizon purchase price is over 500 bucks without any type of contract.

[BryanHarig]

They are confusing 2yr contract price (before online/mail in discount) with full retail.

Sprint is charging $499 for theirs, with my $75 credit, I got it for $431 with tax.
