Well, it looks like the nations largest wireless provider has finally decided to make the Cingular BlackBerry Pearl available. At least to their premier business users.
A BBHub reader from Atlanta has captured a few screen shots that show that the Cingular BlackBerry Pearl is available in a special prelaunch to promotion on the premier business section of the Cingular website.
Cingular’s BlackBerry Pearl will cost you a bit more than the T-Mobile version. After a company discount and a web discount, the Cingular BlackBerry Pearl will set you back $229.99.
Cingular still hasn’t officially announced the BlackBerry Pearl nor is the device listed on their general site. We will, however, let you know as soon as it is.
Tried ordering it off the business website as I have a business account. Was unable to upgrade it to my original service, so I called Cingular and spent an hour on the phone with them. The couldn’t resolve the problem, and then within a matter of minutes it was taken off the business site… How annoying…
They said that they didn’t even have any stock yet, and it was for pre-order only. And they didn’t have any idea when it would be in stores..
yeah, I logged into the premier site at work yesterday and today and haven’t seen it listed at all… it must have accidentally been placed on the site prematurely.
incredibly frustrating but what can you do.
