I know that we have been doing a lot of talking about the CDMA BlackBerry Pearl 8130 devices coming to Verizon and Sprint in November, however, there is another new GSM BlackBerry Pearl device commonly referred to as the BlackBerry Pearl 2.
The BlackBerry Pearl 8120 made it’s debut yesterday in Italy. With new new features including Wi-Fi connectivity, an enhanced visual interface, hardware refinements and a 2 megapixel camera with video capture, the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 is just as advanced as the CDMA BlackBerry Pearl 8130, differing only by the inclusion of Wi-Fi over GPS.

Robb,
the 8120 has a better spec list than the 8130.

The 8130 is in some ways closer to the 8100.
By spec list you mean battery life? That was the only difference I saw unless I am missing it. I think GSM phones usually have better battery life than CDMA, in general. Or so I have read…
any news about France release for the 8120 folks ?
And it’s coming to the States…?
my blackberry pearl makes phantom phone calls from my hand! you can forget support, because to speak to blackberry support they ask you to pay in advance. my carrier (Sprint) of course claims that it is an issue which needs to go directly to blackberry support. when i finally spoke to someone at blackberry he wanted $49 to diagnose the problem.
