I’ve got some buds over in Romania, and I’ve already sent them a few messages imploring them to consider the BlackBerry Curve 8900 as their next device. Why?

Fido BlackBerry Pearl 8100 Details: Coming February 4th
You may remember a week or so ago that I reported Fido would start carrying BlackBerry devices up in Canada. The only sad fact being, that their first device was to be the BlackBerry Pearl 8100.
