The new and upcoming BlackBerry Pearl 3G announced at WES is coming to Rogers soon and presumably T-Mobile at some point, but as far as the UK goes, the 9105 variant with numeric keypad will be arriving June 15, according to the Carphone Warehouse coming soon site. At least Vodafone is going to pick up the BlackBerry Pearl 3G, which packs all of the great features of the Bold 9700, like Wi-Fi, GPS, HSPA, 3.2 megapixel camera and HVGA display in a smaller body and a traditional keypad for those moving from a feature phone.
It’s been generally accepted this point that there have been delays stopping the Pearl 3G from hitting the shelves, but I got a chance to play with one for a week, so a public launch in North America can’t be that far away. Those in the UK can mark their calendars, or better yet, sign up for notifications from Carphone Warehouse here, or directly from Vodafone here.
