[...] Speaking of Cingular, what happened with your Pearl release information? Your leaks in the past have been perfection. How’d you miss the mark? I pride myself on accurate info or I won’t post it. Did I drop the ball on this one? No. The information I got was off an internal Cingular Pearl presentation which clearly stated the Pearl would start shipping November 21st, I believe it was, that was moved up from November 28th. As we all found out it looks like they went back to November 28th. We as journalist can only report what we feel is credible. If a major carrier has a screwed up launch it’s not our problem. People can whine about it but at the end of the day, we leaked something that was credible and Cingular dropped the ball – not us. All we do is bring people the news, and info. They can then make their own decision. [...]

[...] Hearsay is just one of the things that fuel BlackBerry Cool (we’re not sure you want to know what else does). Rumours and the like can do a lot of things and unfortunately for us, one of those things is cause ruckuses and comment wars – and we’re sort of okay with that. Boy Genius, anonymous emails, and even yours truly are all culprits of spreading hope only to snatch it right back with little to no remorse. With all of the Cingular nonsense that’s happened amongst other “leaks” we’ve received, we decided to base our weekend contest around it. [...]

[...] We’ve been fueling this fire all week, we might as well slide in again with our commentary. Yes, still no Pearl’s. Readers are dropping us notes mentioning that Cingular’s BlackBerry Pearl shelves are still empty and that they’re ready to move over to T-Mobile (or anyone other than Cingular, really). Who’s fault is it? As much as I’d love to put the blame on Boy Genius (kidding, pal), this all comes down to organizational issues on Cingular’s part – and maybe some high hopes on the consumer end. Cingular customers have been waiting over two months for this device now, and there’s barely been any acknowledgement from their corporate end. Tired of waiting? Do what you want, folks. If you want a Pearl, you know where you can get one. [...]

[...] I’ll apologize on behalf of Cingular. There seemed to be a lot of excitement surrounding the release of the BlackBerry 8100c, Cingular’s Pearl. We were hounding them for a date, finally got one, and now – even more lackluster results as various reports surfacing on BBHub show a lack of activity in Cingular stores across the nation. No sign of the 8100c across the United States. Have any updates for us? Please, keep us in the know. [...]
