Pearl webpage (Real one) verizonwireless.com/next

pearl release postponed cause they were hopeful that vznav would be up and running. looks like nav will wait for LateQ4 EarlyQ1. Launch will be end of OCT or early NOV.

Quit crying. you’ll get it and it will be better than what is currently associated with the name PEARL. Tons of enhancements. But I am sure people will complain about the lack of WIFI. Even though this Pearl enhanced the browser so it emulates faster than WIFI.

Does anyone know if Verizon would let you buy this phone without having to sign up for a data plan? I’d like to have the phone for a while before committing the extra money for data. Do they require a data plan when buying a smart phone?

Color is important! I really don’t like Verizon’s “all silver” mentality. I loved the contrast of the black with the “old” Pearls. Oh well.

Very good point. Case in point: the popularity of the pink razr amongst the young female demographic.

In a consumer device, sadly, color probably does matter to some. Trust me when I tell you that many a decision has been made based on this phone is cuter that that one when you are talking about consumers.

oh it’s getting deep for the vealot sheep. “all this productivity in a sleek silver color exclusive to verizon wireless”

exclusive color’s now huh? LAME as LAME can get. Because verizon sure isn’t talking about any RIM technology being exclusive to verizon. Whats next t-mo saying red, blue and gold Pearl are exclusive to them?

It’s a blackberry Pearl, scratch that, it’s a blackberry, does color matter over function now?

I doubt seriously that they will disable video recording.
