Comments on: Verizon… Can we skip the BlackBerry Pearl and go straight to the BlackBerry 8800?

Just so you all know, I called the guys up at coporate (I work for Verizon), and the release date for the BB Pearl will be the first week in November.

I just called the Verizon customer service and asked about upgrading my phone. I said I would like to get a BB Pearl. The guy paused, looked at something in his system and said that they would have it within a couple of months. This means that Verizon is already giving this information out officially - Pearl in the stores around November!

I am considering waiting for the Pearl or getting a BBerry now. What is the major reasons to wait?

Also, I use MSOutlook - Business contact manager 2007 - is my data in MSBCM compatable with a blackberry? Will I be able to sink my contacts?

Thanks

I really want the blackberry pearl! I am signed into verizon, but they are skipping straight into getting the wider blackberry crimson, but i want the pearl because it is slicker and not as wide. Verizon, y’all are a great network, but need to get the cool phones!!! You are not even getting the iPhone!! Now, I and a lot of friends, co-workers… have all been talking about switching to cingular because of the cooler phones.

that image looks scrunched. The pearl on the inside isn’t supposed to be an oval. This phone is fatter than this image.

We wrote this post last October and in the grand scheme of things, Verizon took our advice.

We know when the BlackBerry 8830 is coming out. The Verizon BlackBerry Pearl is still a rumor at best.

The photo that is posted with this article shows a VERY attractive, slim b’berry that I would love to get my hands on as a Verizon Wireless customer (6 years now!) who doesn’t want a two year old model like the 7130e, which is ridiculously thick. The 8800 that is supposedly coming out in Q2 on Verizon doesn’t look like this. Am I missing something or is this phone coming out after the Q2 release?

Ususally, Verizon comes out with their version of a BlackBerry 9 months to a year after the Cingular / T-Mobile version comes out.

There have been rumors, however, that Verzion may come out with an 8800 as early as Q2.

Rob… can you define “well into next year before Verizon gets the 8800 or the Pearl”? Like Q1, Q2, Q3? Thanks. I’d love to get a Pearl but I don’t want to switch service back to Cingular.

Thanks.

“Release one with a camera and one without for corporate customers.”

That’s a bad Idea. I can tell you I have 30 people that don’t have Blackberries, and when the one hits verizon with a camera everyone of them will get one. All would be on our corporate account.
