BlackBerry Pearl for Verizon/Sprint and 83xx for T-Mobile on May 7
BlackBerry 8300 for Vodafone

BlackBerry 8300 for Vodafone

The sexy Pearl is going to make its debut on the CDMA market, coming to US’s biggest CDMA carriers (Verizon Wireless and Sprint PCS) at the same time. This is a logical step, after both T-Mobile and AT&T Cingular have been offering it in two color versions. The Pearl has proven as an innovation for RIM and become a hit. May 07 is the date, when the Pearl should launch in CDMA markets.


T-Mobile will get its Wi-Fi capable version of the 8300-series (probably 8320) at the same date. The 8300 series are positioned between the small (Pearl) and the hi-end (8800) devices of the manufacturer. Europe customers will not wait for them, too, as photos of Vodafone version already appeared.

I have heard nor seen any pictures for this phone, I know they will ne getting that Vzw will be getting the 8830 in mid May but not the Pearl.

Correction, I need to proof read my posts better. I meant to say VZW will be getting the 8830, but not the Pearl.

I switched to tmobile for this phone and its great! The camera is not the best, and the media player is real slow. I have played with cingulars 8800 and its great also. Blackberry just needs to step it up and add more multimedia functions. The younger crowds use email they just need a full featured phone this is why it hasn't become as popular as RIM would like.

So will verizon be getting the Blackberry pearl ever?

7. tenderbeef (unregistered) posted on 13 Apr 2007, 10:26

serious, i been holding on from jumping ship for a month now. this was all due to rumors of a bb pearl for verizon. anyone please comfirm this....

8. jaime v (unregistered) posted on 17 Apr 2007, 17:43

well think about it the phones in other networks like tmobil or at&t used a dif format, our network uses the best brew or data on the phones thats why the menus are reponsive easy to use and features like Mp3 Vznav and even the mobil web are faster cant wait to see this phone . ps theres several rumors that theres going to be a get it now capable Pda & BBerry the pearl may be it!

any update on when the verizon is coming out with the pearl?

11. Kristin (unregistered) posted on 03 May 2007, 12:34

May 14th is the release date for the VZW pearl. It's silver. Google blackberry pearl and it'll come up for you.

12. R (unregistered) posted on 06 May 2007, 15:54

all i found was that the the 8830 releases on May 14th. Is it still confirmed that the pearl will be released tomorrow, May 7th? If so, will the local Verizon stores be carrying it on that day? Or wiil it only be available online?

13. Pearlizon (unregistered) posted on 07 May 2007, 15:09

i didn't see that in my google search. can you refer to a link?

14. Pearlizon (unregistered) posted on 07 May 2007, 15:11

its May 07 and nothing... I guess it is the 14th?

15. jason (unregistered) posted on 07 May 2007, 16:02

i think we all knew this wasnt coming out on the 7th...just wait a couple of days and there should be an answer as to when the next blackberry is coming to verizon...if we dont hear anything this week(because of WES going on ) then we wont hear anything for a long time.

16. Scott (unregistered) posted on 07 May 2007, 17:40

I went by the verizon store today and the reps hadn't heard anything about the pearl. The 8830 (cyclone) will be available online on the 14th and in stores on the 28th.

17. Jessica (unregistered) posted on 07 May 2007, 20:01

I guess it was just a rumor. No blackberry pearl for verizon :(

18. jason (unregistered) posted on 07 May 2007, 20:03

verizon reps are either the worst informed reps of any wireless company, or they all know how to keep a secret. I will go with the first of the two. I have always gotten different answers from every rep that i ask about upcoming handsets. Anyway, look at rimarkable.com and there is a link saying q2 of this year for the pearl....who knows if it is true. I just thought that i would spread what info i have found

19. Pearlizon (unregistered) posted on 08 May 2007, 13:12

When does the second financial quarter start?

20. Maxint (unregistered) posted on 08 May 2007, 15:33

http://www.rimarkable.com/arch​ives/1351 says Q2... April, May, June
