Every want to change the colour of your Pearl trackball? Well if you have an older Pearl 8100 you can download the colour ball application, however if you have a the new Pearl 2 (8110, 8120 or 8130) you can’t use that application. In order to change the ball on the 8130 you will have to do a physical mod (which won’t void you warranty if you use tape). How bad do you want to change the colour?

The Red Pearl 8130 is available now at Bell stores and online for $99 with contract and data plan. Next up will we see more coloured Pearl’s come to Canada?
Bell found a way to clear out its out BlackBerry stock. They are offering buy one BlackBerry 8830 World Edition or Pearl 8130 and you can get up to four free BlackBerry 8703’s. This deal is great for almost any business we wants to get connected by the power of BlackBerry’s.
Bell also launched new data sharing packages allowing the 5 users to share certain amounts of data. For example: $25/4MB, $40/8MB, $60/30MB or $100/1GB (1024MB) then you can add any users over your 5 for just $20/month. Kind of a neat idea for small businesses. You can find the details over on Bell.
Ok the last official/un-official Pearl news for the day is that Rogers is releasing the BlackBerry Pearl 8110 within the next few days.

It features a newer updated QWERTY Suretype keyboard, upgraded 2.0 megapixel camera, external memory card, 3.5mm headphones jack, stereo Bluetooth and GPS. Pricing for the device is going to be a little crazy it seems, according to Treatz it will be $249.99 (with three year contract and voice/data plan).
