I have had the pearl for a while now and I would like something new.  Any ideas how much this will go for retail and also the difference in the price with a 2yr contract?  Also I know it is going to have wifi.  Thats real great in all but,  that sucks bad!  They gave it a WiFi anntenna instead of GPS!!!  That just pisses me off!  I dont give two S about wifi I already have edge, and I dont care about having a WiFi calling at my house or hotspots.  I want GPS!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kraig]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 23rd 2008 11:31AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on T-Mobile's BlackBerry Pearl 8120 gets dated, detailed]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/16/t-mobiles-blackberry-pearl-8120-gets-dated-detailed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/16/t-mobiles-blackberry-pearl-8120-gets-dated-detailed/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well, it's the 18th, where the heck is the phone?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Greg Scavezze]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 18th 2008 12:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on T-Mobile's BlackBerry Pearl 8120 gets dated, detailed]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/16/t-mobiles-blackberry-pearl-8120-gets-dated-detailed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/16/t-mobiles-blackberry-pearl-8120-gets-dated-detailed/</guid><description><![CDATA[Have there been any updates to release of this phone?

I called tmobile and three of the reps I spoke with told me that boygenius was horribly wrong about the release date (although they all apparently know about boygenius's prediction).  Supposedly they were to release a statement about his incorrect info.  It's a shame.  Oh well.  If you want the next gen with GPS instead of WiFi, cross the Canadian border and head to a local Rogers Wireless store.  I bought the 8110 (Pearl 2 GSM version of the 8130 with GPS and all of the updated goodies), and then I sold my unopened 8100 on ebay.  Word of advice though - make sure you contact your credit card companies before spending more than $400 in Canada.  They may suspect fraud and suspend your accounts!  I learned that the hard way...<br><br>I predict the 8110 will be headed to AT&T.  If you look at the BB release patterns, AT&T gets all of the GPS models, while TMO gets the WiFi ones (remember the curve).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dweechin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 18th 2008 6:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on T-Mobile's BlackBerry Pearl 8120 gets dated, detailed]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/16/t-mobiles-blackberry-pearl-8120-gets-dated-detailed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/16/t-mobiles-blackberry-pearl-8120-gets-dated-detailed/</guid><description><![CDATA[About crossing the border for GPS, did you need to have the device unlocked for use with t-mobile (or other domestic carrier), and if so, did they do that in-store?  Does the GPS service require some manner of subscription with rogers, or does it work independently?<br><br>and I agree that the trend of TMO getting wi-fi models should hold, as they my start a heavier branding effort for their hotspot@home.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jtaclas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 19th 2008 10:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on T-Mobile's BlackBerry Pearl 8120 gets dated, detailed]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/16/t-mobiles-blackberry-pearl-8120-gets-dated-detailed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/16/t-mobiles-blackberry-pearl-8120-gets-dated-detailed/</guid><description><![CDATA[Actually, Rogers does not do unlocking anymore.  Period.  At least, that is what they told me.  I know - it's a little ridiculous.  I had to take it back to the states and have it unlocked online via IMEI.  It cost me a good $40.  <br><br>Rogers does not block the GPS feature, however you will notice that BB Maps does not show up on the phone.  It is installed, but Rogers doesn't show it because the want you to sign up for their service This is unnecessary, since the phone's GPS feature does work independently.  I had to do a couple of work-arounds (thank you blackberryforums!) to get it to show up.  If you don't need BB maps, just download google maps or some other third party app and it should detect the GPS in the phone.<br><br>Good luck!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dweechin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 19th 2008 2:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on T-Mobile's BlackBerry Pearl 8120 gets dated, detailed]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/16/t-mobiles-blackberry-pearl-8120-gets-dated-detailed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/16/t-mobiles-blackberry-pearl-8120-gets-dated-detailed/</guid><description><![CDATA[HotSpot @home on a BlackBerry?!!

I sent mine back already. It's a neat little device and the predictive texting is awesome, but somehow I don't like having to dish out another $40 so I can synchronize it with my Mac. The Mac software that comes with it is simply not working, so you pretty much have to buy Missing Sync.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bad Beaver]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 17th 2007 4:47AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on T-Mobile's BlackBerry Pearl 8120 gets dated, detailed]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/16/t-mobiles-blackberry-pearl-8120-gets-dated-detailed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/16/t-mobiles-blackberry-pearl-8120-gets-dated-detailed/</guid><description><![CDATA[I am so in for this, wow.
