The Genius has got more details about RIM's plans for the next World Edition devices. According to Boy Genius he says that RIM will in fact create a BlackBerry Curve World Edition and a CDMA/GSM World Edition Pearl 8130. With Verizon, Sprint, Telus and Bell feeling the hurt on from GSM getting all of the latest BlackBerry devices we can only imagine the squeeze the CDMA carriers are putting on RIM. 

He also posted a list of how the BlackBerry 8000 series are modeled:  

81xx: SureType consumer device; camera-enabled
83xx: QWERTY consumer device; camera-enabled
88xx: QWERTY business device; no camera, GPS-enabled
xx00: GSM device
xx10: GSM device; step-sibling upgrade of xx00 (Pearl only)
xx20: GSM+Wi-Fi device
xx30: CDMA/EVDO+GSM device

Anyways stay tuned for more CDMA BlackBerry information as it arises.

Rogers’ Red Pearl

Did we miss something? NO official announcement came out from either Rogers or RIM that we could find yet Rogers Wireless now is offering the Red Pearl. It’s the same price at $249 with 3 year contract. With all the news about the 8300 and 8830 over the past few weeks maybe RIM forgot to tell us about the Red Pearl coming to Canada? Who knows.
