T-Mobile launches BlackBerry Pearl in white

Alright T-Mobile BlackBerry fans, get ready, today's your day. You may remember that we got word about the Pearl in pearl being launched today, and so it is. Expect to pay $150 with a 2-year service agreement for the device in white (with MyFaves).

You are a whore. Your posts are irrelevant, and you spam links to your stupid website. Either contribute or go back to your planet.

So, without further ado - go get yoru BLACK Pearl and shut up. Thanks.

Eh, it's certainly no iPhone.

[Intellectualdiot @ Jan 15th 2007 2:41AM]

Wow. Looking forward to hearing THAT for the next 6 months.

YEA...it isn`t supposed to be an iPhone.It does what it does well and is small and easy to operate one-handed. It looks like a phone , not that portable media center look of the iPhone. I have a bet that the iPhone will flop after the initial interest fades just like the revolutionary Mac of 1984 Mac still can`t do better than 2.2% worldwide market share and the rvolutionary Newton was a flop.99% of people wan`t a small easy to operate phone that makes good calls and they can text on.And their are hundreds of phones that fit that category from free...to very low cost.The iPhone looks like a brick with pretty icons on it.And it`s already hobbled by the Apple closed environment and that poor Crapular service. Showing a product so early (because they are so far out on a OSX upgrade) will backfire on them as it has already started to do just that. It gives people time to sort out the Jobs RDF :)I mean they even had me at first until I sorted out the details.
Job`s demos (just like a magician) rely on nobody being allowed to challenge him on his claims on the spot.

applesucksLeo,
You basically just made yourself look an idiot. Your argument is random and ignorant. You sound like a Microsoft paid Apple basher. You have no appreciation at real innovation and good design. And you also seem to have weaved history into your own anti Apple timeline. I think you should calm down and get your facts straight before dropping ridiculous comments such as that. If you did then you would realize how the first Macintosh completely changed home computing forever. How the Newton wasn't released under Steve Jobs (as he got wrongly fired during the 1980's). Or that the new OSX Leopard will be years ahead of Vitsa (which Microsoft copied off previous versions of OSX anyway). Oh and the closed iPhone/iPod environment your talking so negatively about, well I think you have forgotten how successful the iPod has been with a closed environment. It's meant anyone can pick an iPod up and use it. I even seem to think the Microsoft has also gone for the same closed system with it's Xbox 360 and Zune. Most normal people are totally amazed by the iPhone and what it can do. It blows this tacky looking BlackBerry out of the water on every level.

so, that would be a WhiteBerry?

[comrade @ Jan 15th 2007 7:12AM]

Looks very last century. Almost looks retro...

[sturmnacht @ Jan 15th 2007 1:09PM]

If you think the Pearl is last century will all the keys, one would think the iPhone is the 'now' phone. What about the LG Prada Phone? LG seemed to have the only phone other than Apple that seem to drive the technological evolution of mobile phones. I was very amazed on the capabilities of the Prada Phone when it revealed during the holiday season. I still am now.

@ joe
You sound pretty much like a Apple paid Microsoft basher yourself, so STFU before you even think about berating others.

SmartPhones of the Caribbean: Curse of the BlackBerry Pearl

Ha ha...

Also, Joe, you're just as bad as the Leo guy. Ever since the first Mac, Apple products have been more about what you see than what you can do. No, they're not better. No, the iPod isn't the best PMP out there. No, Leopard will not be years ahead of Vista. And the reason so many people are impressed by the iPhone is exactly why the iPod was successful. It goes something like this:

"Wow, that sure is pretty-looking.... look at all those shiny pictures on it... Hey, I can read emails on this thing too? I had no idea any device in the entire world could do that! I'm gonna buy one!"

You see, millions of people bought the iPod because millions of people are ignorant. iPod became synonymous with mp3 player because there were so many people that didn't know anything else. The thing just LOOKED good and that was enough. I'm no fan of Apple but Steve Jobs is not a stupid guy; he knows that more than half the battle is making something that catches your eye, and just expensive enough to be something of a status symbol.

This is the very definition of the famous RDF. Don't be fooled by it.

[Bart @ Jan 15th 2007 4:47PM]

OMG!!! at WHITE perl. The amount of inovation and technical hurdles needing to be overcome must have been staggering! This thing is going to stomp the iPhone. Holly shit!! I still can't believe it, a WHITE phone!!!

[Ruben GPXS @ Jan 16th 2007 3:17AM]

@Scooter:
No, it's a BlackBarry White. After the famous singer. "I'm dreaming of a white cell phone"; I see a campaign for RIM there ;)
