More and more households are dropping their landlines and using their mobile devices 100% of the time. Being able to make calls via your internet connection can really cut down on your mobile bill especially for those who make a lot of calls during the day during peak hours.

The BlackBerry Pearl 8130 Red is now available on Alltel’s site. Looks like Alltel, like everyone else, wants to take advantage of the Valentine’s Day rush…

According to a Research in Motion press release the Pink Verizon BlackBerry Pearl will be available online as well as hit store shelves tomorrow. The Pink Pearl will run $199.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate with a new 2-year agreement. If you sign up for a really expensive voice and data plan, you could qualify for an additional $100 credit bringing the cost down to under $100

Read the full press release…

Although Sprint nor Research in Motion has announced it as of yet, a red Sprint BlackBerry Pearl 8130 has been spotted for sale on Amazon.

I guess that Sprint didn’t want to be outdone by Verizon who just announced their Pink BlackBerry Pearl the other day.

There is no doubt that T-Mobile knew that SunCom was going to release the 8120 before them. “How could T-Mobile let that happen?”, you might ask. Well, IntoMobile has a great theory on that…

The parent company (T-Mobile) still has boatloads of current-generation BlackBerry 8100 Pearl inventory to clear out before they launch the WiFi-enabled version.

Anywho… If you live on one of a few southern states, Peurto Rico, or the Virgin Islands and you want to get your hands on the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 before mid February, give SunCom a call.

As always, free is relative, as you must sign up to a 3-year plan of $45 per month or more in order to qualify. In this case free really means $1620 over the course of the next 36 months.

This is still a pretty good deal if you were already interested in a BlackBerry Pearl and you want more than the $15 email and IM only plan currently offered by Telus.

This won’t come as a surprise to many of you, but, in case you didn’t know, the Sprint BlackBerry Peal is now available.

The Sprint BlackBerry Pearl 8130 is going to set you back $199 after a mail-in rebate and 2-year service

We’re guessing that the Blackberry Pearl 8120 will first appear on T-Mobile because the device has a UMA client which currently is only support by T-Mobile’s HotSpot@Home Service.
