US Cellular's 8130 Pearl is also launching with the 2 megapixel Camera and software version 4.3 which will allow full streaming video such as You Tube and up to 8gb Micro SD support.

This came directly from BlackBerry when I was on the BES call on Monday.

They said our Pearl will have You Tube capability.

Also the price has dropped to $99.95 with $100 INSTANT rebate.

ok first of all. specify what market your in before you say how much the phone is going to be. i.e. im in the portland maine market and the phone is 200.00 with a 100.00 mail-in rebate. I am getting pissed off because customers come into my store and say oh well a us cellular employee on phonescoop said it was an instant rebate (this has happened before) so you have to honor this price. Well no i dont have to honor it because there is no way to prove that the poster works for us cellular. so just let people know the market your phone pricing pertains to before you post prices on equipment. thanks

well lets get a few things straight now that it comes out tom.

199.99 (100 rebate) for Consumers
99.99 (instant) Business

It DOES NOT SUPPORT Youtube.com only m.youtube.com just like the 8830. I don't care what some BB rep said they were confused. It will not play streaming video on espn.com, foxnews.com or any other site with video on the page. It will allow for mobile video streaming in a .3gp or .mp4 format. This is currently available through many services and applications on blackberry. (mobi tv, m.youtube.com, videostream ect....)

Still the BEST Smartphone US Cellular has ever had!!!! Period!!!
