O2 has just released the BlackBerry 8120 in the UK today, packing Wi-Fi along with the usual new Pearl goodies (3.5mm headphone jack, OS 4.3, sideloading microSD slot, SureType) in a fetching blue case. There’s been a lot going on with the 8130 lately, but we can’t forget the long-lost cousin overseas, eh? Are any of you holding out through the hypestorm for the Wi-Fi version to land here in North America? Any of our UK readers can pick one of these up over here.

Any clue if T-Mobile will pick this up for the States?
This cellphone rocks!! I can’t wait to my my hands in one of them.
I saw this review video and got amazed about this phone: weshow.com/us/p/21756/verizons_blackberry_pearl_8130
The only thing I miss is VOIP functions.. But that’s not a big problem..
What’s you guys opinion about this phone?
What’s the price without any contract?
I’d love to tell you, Browser, but O2 won’t let you so much as browse their store if you’re not in the UK. I tried getting one of my MSN buddies over there to check it out, and even they couldn’t navigate O2’s site to a solid number. If they find something, it’ll get updated in the post.
Thanks
I was waiting for this one for about 2-4 months. Hope it will hit other markets soon as well so can buy one without any contract.
I’ve just found one on eBay (only one so far…).
