Remember those rumors about a white BlackBerry Pearl being on the horizon? Well, it looks like the white BlackBerry Pearl will be available even sooner than we thought. At least the one being sold eBay, that is.
One of Russell Shaw from BBHub’s friends let him know about White BlackBerry Pearl eBay auction and now we’re letting you know.
So far there haven’t been any bids on the White Pearl but the action doesn’t end for a couple of days. The starting bid is $300. The seller, ealmario, has 100% positive feedback, however, only has five comments and one comment in the last 12 months.
If you just have to have a White BlackBerry Pearl before everyone else, here, possibly, is your chance. For my minimum of $300, however, I would just wait until T-Mobile releases it.
This has been up on BlackBerry Forums since yesterday. You should do a bit of research before you give credit to the wrong person.

I don’t believe that I gave anyone credit. I said that one of Russell’s friends let him know about it. This in no way implies that BBHub had some type of exclusive on this information.
As I think about it, the person who put this up on BlackBerry Forums doesn’t deserve any “credit” either, other than kudos for a good find. The person that is selling this thing on ebay is the only that really gets any credit for anything as they are the one that created the story.
By linking back to BBHub you imply that it was the originating source for this story when, in fact, it had been posted many hours before on a site, which you are a member of, that has considerable influence in the BlackBerry community.
If you were a responsible journalist you would have checked sources readily available to you before you gave credit for a story to the wrong person.
Let me make sure that I’ve got this right.
Someone starts an auction on one of the most visited sites on the internet. Someone else sees the auction and creates a thread in a popular forum about the auction. If I understand you correctly, because I belong to this popular forum you feel that it is my responsibilty to give credit to the “first” person who talked about the auction even though this is not where I heard about it from.
(Long pause as I crack up laughing…..)
Like I said before, the only person that deserves any credit for anything is the person selling the White BlackBerry Pearl on eBay.
thanks Robb for posting this…and yes, im all about ready to dump verizon for tmobile to get the pearl or the 8800…giving verizon a touch more time to release the pearl before i just pay the fee and move on
Great now it’s useless and ugly. lol….
Ok, hold on before you get all offended. I love BBs, just not this Pearl
toy that was launched a few months ago…just my opinion.
I on the other hand have a useless and ugly 7130g..lol…
I wish my boss would get us on to full QWERTY asap.
If it means anything my daughter thinks it is cute and likes it better than the Palm Treo 680. She liked the white 680 better than the Black Pearl.
There is another auction on ebay for white pearl, item # 110077496102 if anyone is interested.
