The Pearl 9100 is now available through Bell. This new BlackBerry can be yours on the following price plans: $49.95 on a 3-year contract; $179.95 on a 2-year; $279.95 on a 1-year and the no-contract price is a decent $329.95.
Out of all the carriers selling the 9100 – Bell has the cheapest no-contract rate so far. TELUS has this for $349.99, Virgin (owned by Bell) has this for $349.99 and Rogers has this on a no-contract for $424.99. We’re curious what price point WIND will come in at when they launch the 9100 in July.
Some quick features of the new Pearl 9100 is that it comes with RIM’s new trackpad, SureType keyboard, 3.2 megapixel camera, BlackBerry Messenger, Wi-Fi, and GPS.

That is pretty good. With pricing like that you just might have more people inclined to buy the thing outright. I hope Bell sells a ton of them. If my girlfriend wanted one, I would definitely buy it from Bell.

I wonder if I purchase it outright with no contract from Bell if it will work on Telus..(stuck with Telus for about 1 and a half years still)

Why wouldn’t you just buy it from telus for an extra 20$? After the unlock you’d probably save maybe 15$…
On other notes, its a cute phone. Nice finish

I want to buy it from Bell because A.) It’s $20 cheaper B.) It comes in black and not pink..
C.) If I was to get it from Telus I would have to wait at least 2-3 weeks for them to get their black version and I want to get it within the next week…

It will work fine once you unlock it. My understanding with bell and telus 3G blackberries is that you have to get two unlock codes, so its a bit more expensive then a rogers or fido unlock.

No Bell will not unlock it. They might still be unlocking for $75, but I can’t find it on their site anymore.

I want to buy the bell pearl 3g and then get it unlocked because I’m with rogers. How did get your phone unlocked for $30?

Isn’t there a way of unlocking it yourself? I think there’s a way after going to settings and then selecting Sim Card and entering in some text. Can anyone confirm this?
