The one other perfect piece would be the global ability, like the 8830. Does anyone know about this feature??? Don’t tease about the tethered modem, are you sure?

It doesn't appear, however, that the 8130 Pearl will have tethering fuctionality. <strong>Why not?</strong> What would make this phone perfect is if it had tethering capability.

Maybe some Verizon crap may be added in, but I would assume that would be the extent of it. As for the upgrades, nothing drastic enough to make this Pearl lover change, but if the device isn't crippled, and the pricing drops as rumored, then switching to a better network would be reason enough. TMO's customer service is the best, but unfortunately the coverage in the States doesn't match the area and speed of verizons. Will be interesting to see the results come 11/1.

About the keyboard thing, the original pearls for tmobile/at&t had keyboards that after some time wore down and they got pretty "mushy", and had less feedback etc... the new verizon pearls keys are supposedly stronger and last longer than the others. Thats all I was talking about. You make some great points hellno.

Of course it will sell it's a RIM Blackberry, it just won't sell as many as the original Pearl or the 8120 will when released with upgrades and WiFi, with no crippling or features and functions removed. btw have 3 of the original 8100's not one complaint, although one would expect RIM to upgrade and refine devices heck they had over a year to do so since the 8100 was released.

All of the upgrades it is getting are the exact problems I had with the original pearl aka the bad keyboard is fixed, the camera is upgraded, the browser is better, new message display etc...this device will be a huge seeler especially if they offer a lower data plan maybe bundled with unlimited messaging. That would make the device fly off the shelves. Anyone know of new info anywhere else about the device, id really like some specifics Wow, I’m so amazingly excited for this device.
