Thanks to our friend Todd (more on this guy later) for this shot of the New BlackBerry Peal from Cingular fresh out of storage. Bigger pic attached. More soon...

I like tmo's better

[jongann]

I like how the ALT key says "ALT" and not some useless pictogram. Still, I love my 8100 (T-Mobile).

[jbj9871]

Yes tmo looks better I think its the off color keys that make it look not as well.

[cherrichiodo]

still no software/device updates on cingular's website - nor does the phone even show up on there....

[Mi|enko]

I don't like the silver at the very bottom of the phone, where the cingular logo's at. They shoulda put their logo on black.

[moses2628]

I agree. Tmobile's just looks way better than cingular.

[BBWrangler]

It's still just a Pearl.

As for the logo on the back, that would interfere with the "oooh, shiny" factor that gets the average person to buy it.


Looks wise, asides from the two tone keys on the T-Mo and the silver logo area on the Cingular, I see no difference besides the alt key saying alt. The all silver keys are probably easier to see in the dark though.

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~i don't see a big diff thank god they caught up to mobile

[somsek12]

i like my tmo better soo much better. The gray at the bottom of the phone doesn't look good.

[Toddboy71]

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~anyone notice that it looks like a skunk with a stripe in the middle?

[mbwilson]

Any word on Verizon getting new BlackBerry phones? Pearl, Indigo, Crimson . . .

i agree, i don't like that silver on the bottom, it should have said cingular on black. the phone would have been much nicer, even if the middle keys are silver.

[8lackPearl]

It looks as though cingular's pearl isn't chrome on the side; except for the buttons.

[hayden]

They needed to stick with the design that works. It's still a good looking phone it's just that we've already had seen a GREAT looking T-Mobile Pearl. Maybe the designs launched in the wrong order

[maz94protege]

awsome! Congrats to all you Cingular folks, now you can join us TMOBILE guys with the 8100!

[Bellidansa]

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~Naw, I too will keep my tmo pearl.Not feeling the silver. Reminds me of a race car stripe.

[jpl572103]

blahblahblah

[scampbell185]

I have to agree that this model does not look as sleek and professional as TMobile's design. Love the add on feature too only being 19.99 a month to use the phone and all of its capabilities and also being able to use the phone as a modem when I am traveling.

I HATE SureType

[trigga15]

yeah suretype hates you too

haha

[gruv15]

This device is nasty! Whether you like qwerty or suretype, it's still a great phone. I have an 8700c, 7130c, and 8100c. I love them all! Their BlackBerries. Enough said!
If the color scheme of this phone holds you back from buying one, you shouldn't be carrying a BB in the first place.
