After a healthy batch of both video and picture leaks of the next generation BlackBerry Pearl 9100, code-named Striker, we’ve got the first signs of a commercial presence. Given OEM parts seller SW-Box has 9100 keypads in stock, and unlocked handset vendor Pure Mobile has it up in their shop as coming soon, it won’t be long before we start seeing proper carrier inventories populating with 9100 SKUs. A release before the holidays might seem like wishful thinking, but Popular Electronics is listing the 9100 as available as of December 15. We’ve got our fingers crossed!
