When hearing the name "Blackberry" one would expect the device with the same name to be black. It doesn't mean that it can't have another color, but it would be more logical that way.

While Cingular announced their standard black version of Blackberry Pearl, T-Mobile seems to be one step ahead of everyone else and concentrate more on the actual name of the phone, "Pearl", planning to release a white version of the same handheld.

After all, T-Mobile has done this kind of thing before, by presenting Sidekick 3 in no more nor less that 28 different colors. The Blackberry Pearl is rumored to get this sudden make-over around Valentine's day, and it will be very interesting to see which of the two color versions becomes more popular.

In fact, Valentine's Day might even lose some popularity points, as most people out there will be too preoccupied with the release of the precious white version of Blackberry Pearl, to even care about anything else. In the end, it is quite nice that one can have some options regarding color when deciding to purchase this not only well designed but also very affordable handheld.
