actually i am guessing a multi carrier release, most likely t-mo being one of them, because it went so well with them and they also are promoting thier wi-fi service for select phones and we all know that the P2 should be great for it, eh?

Any updates on ATT release?

I played with this phone today. It's pretty sweet. The pearl feels much better than the 8800(which is already 10 times better than the 8310). I just don't like the keyboard.

Is it the new Pearl keyboard you didn't like (it's supposed to be improved over the 8100 - did you notice a difference)?

lol well i HATED the 8100 keyboard (which is why i use a full keyboard) so the fact that i just don't like the new one is a bit of an upgrade. To be honest i dodn't get to use it long enough to give it a full review but if i was to get a BB for mostly voice that would be my first pick. Plus the video feature is nice. I'll see if i can pick one up for a week and really try it out.

However, I would like for it to have built-in GPS as well as video-recordgin capabilities. and a much better image software pre-installed. I know this is the pearl and its not the phone intended for the business crowd in the first place, but One thing I never understood about BB's is if they are so business-oriented, why is it that you pretty much cant do nothing when it comes to office Doc editing or tools, unless you PURCHASE very EXPENSIVE software for it. I feel there should def be some kind of program maybe even an open office edition or something. As well if RIM is going to include a BB OS appl for windows-phones, we BB customers should have windows office on these phones,make it an even swap..

feel the exact same way... totally can't wait!!

Since this phone was released in Spain a couple of weeks ago, I would expect to see some for sale on ebay. Has it shipped? Any reason why a few units wouldn't be coming into the aftermarket?
