BlackBerry Pearl 8130
GETTING MY PEARL MONDAY
IS ANYONE ELSE GETTING THEIR PEARL MONDAY? I PREORDERED IT TODAY AND THE REP TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD SHIP ON THE 8TH. JUST ABOUT THREE HOURS AFTER I MADE MY TWO ORDERS, I GOT SHIPMENT CONFIRMATION AND TRACKING NUMBERS FOR MY ORDER. I TRACKED IT AND IT SAID IT WAS PICKED UP. SO IM CONFUSED WETHER VERIZON IS JUST SHIPPING ME A BOX WITHOUT A PHONE IN IT OR THEIR REPS JUST DONT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT......MOST LIKELY BOTH

I'm curious as well. When I talked to the rep - she said she'd pre-order it, but it wouldn't ship until the 8th -- and she wasn't sure how concrete that date was...

The reason why it is being shipped out early is because of the success of the Pre-orders. The original plans was for pre-orders not to be received by customers until the day that the phone was to officially be released(Nov 😎, however, the pre-order demand and sales were so high yesterday, that they changed the date to Nov 3rd, and started shipping out the phones yesterday. They even stopped online pre-orders, and made them regular online sales yesterday. If you like, or can get use to sure-type, this should be an almost perfect phone. Blackberry is already the best smartphone brand, but to add video capture(Blackberry first), 2megapixel cam(BB pearl first), built in gps(Pearl first), 3G data speeds(Pearl first), enhanced browser, improv...

It seem like it is slightly smaller, but slightly heavier than the pearl 1. I agree this is a winner of a phone. Most people love their Pearls, and this is basically a Pearl on crack.
The only thing it is missing to me, it the ability of the 8830 to be able to go overseas. But hey, nothing has it all.

Mine is actually coming today!!! I called a rep last night because I got an email saying my order was CANCELED, then I got another email saying the cancellation was reversed. Then another saying my order was on its way. She said it looked like I just got lucky and that my package would be arriving for sure by the 2nd. Crazy stuff!
