The Wi-Fi bearing BlackBerry Pearl 8120, you know, the one supposed to make it’s U.S. debut on T-Mobile Feb. 18th, actually just came out on SunCom, which just happened to be bought by T-Mobile 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.
Don’t you mean 8120? I thought the 8820 was only used for the 88xx series (goes without saying, 8800/8820/8830) and not the Pearl.

I did mean the BlackBerry 8120 Nikolaus.
AF, Not that I don’t make grammar and spelling mistakes regularly, today seems especially bad. I’ve given up on IM for the day and I can’t even make sense of some of the emails I’ve sent out.
Happens to all of us…just messing around…
Whatever you do, do not give Suncom a call. We have them in the RDU area and they are awful! Cheap plans and phones but a terrible network. It is the old ATT network in this area. Cingular traded it to them in return for Suncom’s Richmond area network. They have big problems with the netwrok handing off calls from tower to tower. Long story short, talking and driving is a challenge. Let’s hope T-Mo put some $ into the network here now that they finally closed the deal.
