14 DAY TRIAL // Canadian mobile phone users should soon be able to enjoy a new device available on the airwaves of their national wireless carriers, namely the BlackBerry Pearl 3G, which should land within a matter of days, it seems. Moreover, along with news regarding the phone's launch at these operators, came a series of details on the phone's pricing, which appears to be identical at the two.
When it comes to Rogers, the company is expected to make the BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9100 available for purchase for only $49.99 upon the signing of a three-year contract agreement, but also says that those interested in acquiring without a contract can do so for $374.99. According to a recent article on BGR, the carrier should have the device available via various channels within the next few days with a promotional price tag of $29.99 on contract.
As for TELUS, it should put the new mobile phone on sale during the next few days for only $29.99 on a three-year contract agreement, while making it available for purchase for $349.99 without one. However, TELUS is reportedly getting ready to launch only the pink flavor of BlackBerry Pearl 9100, though it expects for the black variant to arrive in a couple of weeks.
For the time being, the new BlackBerry smartphone is not present in the carriers' online stores, but it might not be too long before it is listed there, that's for sure. No details on why the carriers have Pearl 3G priced differently without contract are available at the moment, nor on whether other operators in the country are planning on picking the device up, though one might expect them to do so.
One way or the other, the new BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9100 should prove a nice option for those interested in purchasing an affordable handset with nice features. It comes with an HVGA display, a 3.2-megapixel photo snapper, Wi-Fi 802.11n connectivity, SureType keyboard, trackpad, and more. It might not be a high-end BlackBerry device, but it should do the job just fine.
