BlackBerry Maps Now Available
There is another free map application, this time from Research in Motion, called BlackBerry Maps now available for the BlackBerry.
I am not sure that I like BlackBerry Maps as much as Google Maps or Berry411, however, I cannot give it a true evaluation, because I don’t have a BlackBerry with GPS, which BlackBerry Maps does support.
The way that directions are listed out is kind of cool and easy to follow, but, once again, doesn’t really do much more than Google Maps, an application that made my original list of 5 must have free BlackBerry downloads. BlackBerry Maps doesn’t appear to have the satellite view that Google Maps has either.
Is Tomorrow the Day for Cingular’s BlackBerry Pearl?
The latest Cingular BlackBerry Pearl rumor has the device that users of the nation’s largest network have been waiting for coming out tomorrow. Like BBHub’s Russell Shaw, however, I have my doubts that little more than just a few, in the grand scheme of things, of those looking to pick up a new BlackBerry Pearl will be able to walk into a Cingular store and do so.
It’s not that think Cingular won’t release the Pearl tomorrow. It’s just that we haven’t heard any rumors from Cingular store employees that BlackBerry Pearl marketing material, accessories, or even the the devices themselves have started showing up yet.

I just happened to be taking a look at the top 5 games offered by Magmic Games for the BlackBerry and realized that 4 of them can actually be downloaded for free via mobile.BlackBerry.com.

Cingular Blackberry Pearl coming November 21st
Looks like we were right after all. The Cingular BlackBerry Pearl will be here before Thanksgiving, According to the Boy Genius Report, Cingular’s BlackBerry 8100 Pearl is coming November 21st.
New GSM/CDMA BlackBerry in January?
There are rumors floating around BlackBerry Forums stating that a new GSM/CDMA world BlackBerry could possibly appear up in Canada on Bell Mobility as early as January. Details aren’t absolutely clear, however, it doesn’t sound like the the new Bell Mobility BlackBerry will be the Pearl or the BlackBerry 8800.
According to a couple of commenters, the new BlackBerry will be some type of world phone capable of working on both GSM and CDMA networks. These rumors are in line with other rumors that we have heard about GSM/CDMA BlackBerry as well, however, we had no idea that the device could come as early as January.
Call your local Cingular store and ask them when the Pearl is coming
There have been a lot of conflicting reports on when the BlackBerry Pearl is coming out on Cingular’s network and RIMarkable has been right in the middle of it. We initially thought that Cingular would have their branded BlackBerry Pearl by Thanksgiving, however, documents have surfaced indicating that T-Mobile has an exclusive on the Pearl until December 1st.
Truth be told, no one who really knows is talking about it and those talking about it don’t really know. Russell Shaw from BBHub, however, came up with a great idea this morning. He has started a campaign of sorts asking readers to call their local Cingular store and ask when they will have the Pearl.
