First up we heard that Verizon had the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 on pre-order back around November 1st 2007, then it was Sprint’s turn a few weeks later with a release in the same month. AT&T took a lot longer as it was not until March 2008 when finally AT&T customers could enjoy the extras on the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 just like Sprint and Verizon customers were with the 8130.
None of the above cell phone carriers took as long as T-Mobile, it has taken until today for T-Mobile to join Sprint, Verizon and AT&T with the BlackBerry extra features. The phone gives you extras like a 3.5mm headphone jack, external microSD slot and a 2 megapixel camera to name a few.
Sprint and Verizon had the 8130, but the 8120 that T-Mobile and AT&T share also have the extra feature of 802.11b/g Wi-Fi which in my opinion is something you will want. T-Mobile then adds even more for its customers with HotSpot@Home and myFaves via the wireless connection, you’re also able to use WiFi calling on the T-Mobile cell phone.
The BlackBerry Pearl 8120 on T-Mobile will cost you $150 on contract and that’s a good deal considering all you get with the phone and the network.
Which network do you like more: Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile or AT&T?
