With the announcement of the BlackBerry Pearl 3G (9100), both Rogers and TELUS have formally announced plans to launch this new smartphone in May – expect Bell to follow with an announcement soon. Last week we got confirmation that TELUS will be releasing this in both Black and Pink and early price points on a no-contract was $449.99. In addition, we also had an inventory screenshot that showed the 9100 priced at $79.99 on a 3-year.
However, great news this morning when reading the TELUS Pearl 3G press release. It states that TELUS exclusively sell the Pink version, maybe they might even tie something into a Breast Cancer charity. In addition, the release said that “TELUS offers a broad range of best-in-class wireless devices on Canada’s biggest and fastest 3G+ network, now including the new BlackBerry Pearl 3G. Starting in May, this smartphone will be available from TELUS in pink and in black for as little as $29.99 on a three-year plan.”
Great price for this device at launch. Nice work TELUS!
…but what’s the real price? ie the price you pay without committing to a 3 year prison term?

Please have a reasonable no-contract price… $449 is a little steep for this device.

Actually, it is not phooshopped. Both keyboard layout will be offered. But as Connor says, will they be both offered on all providers?

9100 is Suretype QWERTY
and 9105 has a regular alpha-numeric keypad, just like the phones shown.
