Verizon (NYSE: VZ)’s finally gearing up to release their 2.0 version of the popular BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Pearl – the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 is now available on pre-order from Verizon’s website. The Pearl 2.0, as you’ll remember, takes the hip style of the original BlackBerry Pearl and adds EVDO and a boost to a 2 megapixel camera. Oh, and you’ll have to settle for integrated GPS navigation and an improved web browser – we’re sure you’ll manage.
For just $200, you get dibs on the Verizon BlackBerry Pearl 8130 when it ships out on November 8. We were expecting Verizon to drop the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 on us today, but a pre-order announcement is good enough. Of course, the $100 discount that gets you the $200 price-tag is only available online – and after you sign away your freedom for 2 years.
