Today AT&T announced the BlackBerry Pearl 8120. The 8120 is the latest version of the Pearl, adding 802.11b/g Wi-Fi to its quad-band GSM/EDGE connectivity options. In most other respects, it is similar to the Pearl 8130. It has a 2 megapixel camera, 3.5mm headset jack, stereo Bluetooth and external microSD slot. It is available to AT&T customers for $200 with two-year agreement and qualifying voice and data plans.

8110
This device is great, the Wifi works great for data.
Now coming to T-Mobile
and finally a blackberry that does video recording!
color options will the silver at first, then red, blue, and black will also release.
im confused!

I guess my real question is can someone shed any light on this. Att really has no business carrying the wifi version just as tmo has no business carrying the gps version of the new pearl.
I am confused on whether TMobile will carry the 8110 or the 8120 though. I'm still leaning to wards the 8...

Nice But How About 3g?
Wi-fi Pearl
Either way I'm happy. I was about to pull the trigger on a Pearl with ATT. Now I just need to verify that I can get the wifi version. 🤣
The only carrier so far that uses wifi for UMA is T-Mobile with their hotspot@home service.
