We still haven’t had an official announcement from Cingular on the BlackBerry Pearl, however, the BlackBerry Pearl is listed on the Cingular website. RIMarkable reader PugWaL found a link to a Cingular BlackBerry comparison chart putting the BlackBerry Pearl up against the 8700c and 7130c.
My company’s Cingular rep (who is a BB junkie) is telling me the Pearl will be available by Saturday the 25th and maybe on Friday the 24th.
I think Friday is the day. It would be absolutely foolish for Cingular to have launch the day after the biggest selling day of the year. Then again, we are talking about Cingular.
Anyone know what the upgrade price would be for an existing cingular customer once the pearl is out?

There is a blackberry pearl demo on November 30th in New York City for Cingular employees. The phone will be released the next day, December 1st.
