Keith from Kradest.com is at it again, this time creating a free BlackBerry Pearl theme that looks like the BlackBerry 8800 theme.
This guy works fast. He cranked out Indigo before Cingular had the BlackBerry 8800 on their webpage.

Well, it looks like 15 hours or so after Research in Motion officially announced the BlackBerry Pearl, Cingular has updated their site to reflect that they will actually carry the BlackBerry Pearl.
There is no mention of when the BlackBerry 8000 will become available, however, you can request to be notified via email.

Do you remember when Steve Jobs officially announced the iPhone back in January? Cingular had information about the iPhone, them being the exclusive carrier and all, moments after Jobs’ Macworld 2007 keynote introducing the iPhone began. Up until last week or so, the picture of the iPhone you see above was the one plastered across Cingular’s website… All this for a device that isn’t coming out until June and, at the time, hadn’t even received clearance from the government to be sold in the US.
Who does Cingular really love?

I have been thinking about the BlackBerry 8800 a bit lately seeing how it is about to come out in a week and a half. It has trackball, is a bit thinner than the BlackBerry 8700, and has removable media. Other than that, what is so great about the BlackBerry 8800?
Now that the release of the 8800 is near, I don’t really find myself all that excited about it. Even though the 8800 isn’t coming out on Verizon just yet, I am not so sure that I would upgrade to it if it was. In fact I know that I wouldn’t if they were offering the same cameraless version that will first come out on Cingular.
Are you going to get a BlackBerry 8800 when it first comes out. If so, why? Let us know via the comments.
