Word over at BGR is that some Fido stores are starting to receive their shipments of BlackBerry Pearl 8100s. This will be Fido’s first BlackBerry smartphone on the network and we wouldn’t be surprised if these we’re just left over Rogers stock. Fido will be selling the Pearl 8100 for $25 on three year term or $400 without term. The best news to come out of this is that Fido will be allowing unlocked BlackBerrys on their network so this means you could use something a little better such as Bold, Curve and even a Pearl Flip.

Stay tuned for Fido to lauch other BlackBerry models later this year…

Looks like the rumors about Fido carrying the BlackBerry Pearl 8100 has been confirmed more by the BerryReview team. It seems Fido will start selling BlackBerry with BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) only service. Pricing for the old school Pearl 8100 starts at $25 with three year term and ends at $400 with no contract/month to month. A couple things to point out Fido will not be offering BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server) support but they will allow tethering with their data plans. Fido will not officially support any other BlackBerry models, however if you were to pick up an unlocked Berry you would be able to use it!
