Reeneebob over at Crackberry.com has posted a few new additions to the Bell.ca website. The revamped website is clean, and easy to navigate. More impressive than that, would be the new BlackBerry colors that Bell is offering. The 8330 in red, and the 8130 in both titanium and white. Hit more to see the images.
While some of this is just a confirmation of what is to come, it is nice to have it shown. BlackBerrynews.com has come up with a very detailed report on what T-Mobile will be bringing out the remainder of this year and the beginning of next. Needless to say, it will include the Pearl 8220 (formerly Kickstart) as well as the Javelin. There was one bit of a surprise though, hit the jump for the full article.
In the last few weeks confusion has subsided on the model number of RIM’s first clamshell type device, but now we have a new name for it? The BlackBerry 8220, code named KickStart, now has an official name: BlackBerry Pearl 8220. Wait…the Pearl? isnt that the candybar phone that was RIMs first entry into the consumer market? Yes, indeed it was. However new Rogers promo material shows the device is indeed following in the Pearl lineup. While the poster doesnt give a price, or even a release date, it does show UMA. Rumors still abound that the device will be RIM’s entry level device with a price of around $50. Does this mean the Pearl now has 3 incarnations? RIM might be following in LG’s footsteps with names… (think Chocolate 1, 2, 3) but lets hope they keep the same build quality we have all come to know and love.
