The fine folks at BlackBerry Sync have heard that Telus will be getting the fabled BlackBerry Pearl 2 before New Years. The jury’s still out on whether the Pearl 2 is going to be the BlackBerry 8130 with modest upgrades such as a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a 2 megapixel camera, or if it’s a beefier device with Wi-Fi.
No word of a Rogers release yet (but our best guess is mid-September), but if there are any employees willing to play defector out there, you could always shoot us a discreet e-mail ( info at blackberry cool dot com)… And all that stuff they say about loose lips sinking ships? Naaah. And, uh, nevermind that poster. We really should take that thing down.
I’ve been waiting for 2 years for the Pearl to come to Telus. I am just about ready to pay out my outstanding contract and sign up with Rogers! If Telus doesn’t have WiFi on the Pearl 2, I may well still switch to Rogers to get it!!
