Rumor has it that the GPS-enabled Pearl will be hitting Verizon shelves come November 1st., although previous reports had the date set at the 8th. At very least we’ve got a ballpark idea of when the BlackBerry 8130 is coming out, and the we might still be able to count on the October 26th. pre-order date for anyone chomping at the bit to get one of these new toys. The 8130 will also be running on EVDO, packing a 3.5mm headphone jack, stereo Bluetooth, and a 2mpx camera with video capture.

It’s about time. I made a point of calling my representative at Verizon to tell them that I was not happy about their policy of disabling the GPS on their phones except for 911 service. I told them to add me to the list of customers that will be moving to another provider to get more of the phone that the manufacturer had intended us to get.
Don’t believe that GPS enabled means that Verizon will let you use it without paying addition funds monthly.
