Simon from BBCool managed to get his hands on a Rogers BlackBerry Bold yesterday. He has posted some unboxing shots of the device. One thing I noticed right off the bat is that the BlackBerry Bold is shipping with RIM’s new in ear headphones that we saw a few months back.

Expansys seems to love outing RIM’s unreleased handsets lately. Just a few weeks ago they were showing the BlackBerry Thunder as coming soon. This time Expansys is showing RIM’s unannounced BlackBerry Kickstart aka Pearl 8220 and 8210 as coming soon. They also list that both models of the Kickstart will sport PTT (Push to Talk). The Kickstart 8210 of course will be the GPS verison and 8220 will be the Wi-Fi version.

Rogers Pearl 8220 gaming site

So Rogers has accidently listed the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 (aka Kickstart) on their gaming downloads page. This could mean one of two things either Rogers will be launching the Pearl 8220 within the week or two or that they simply made an error and listed it way too early. Our bet goes along with previous reports that you will see the Pearl 8220 instores for September 1st or so.
