We had heard that Rogers would be getting the unreleased BlackBerry Pearl 9100, and now have some definite proof as a shot of a red dummy unit has found its way online.

BlackBerry Pearl Flip Getting a Brown Paint Job?
Going over the OtterBox release from yesterday, I noticed that the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 they’re using in one shot is in an unfamiliar brown paint job.

BlackBerry OS 6.0 Screenshots Surface!
Hooah! The first credible screenshots of BlackBerry OS 6.0 have surfaced, and they look nothing like that Concierge thing.
