Canada’s hot BlackBerry deals! $0 Pearls, $25 Pearl Flips..

The Holiday Shopping season is now starting in full swing. The competitive pricing on BlackBerry smartphones is here. Both Bell and TELUS both now have their popular BlackBerry Pearl 8130 for $0 with three year term and Rogers is offering their new BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 for only $24.99 with three year term as well.

Let’s take a quick peak into the deals between the big three and see who is winning.

Bell: Currently offering Pearl 8130 for $0 (in four colors) and Curve 8330 for $99 (two colors) with three year terms.

TELUS: Currently offering the same pricing as Bell. Free Pearl 8130 (choice of 5 colors) and $99 Curve 8330 (choice of 3 colors) with three year terms.

Rogers: Currently offering Pearl Flip for $24.99 (choice of two colors), Curve 8320 (one color) for $99, Bold 9000 for $199, Pearl 8110 or 8120 for $49, Curve 8310 (three colors) for $99 all with three year terms.

Virgin Mobile: Currently only offering the Pearl 8130 in one color for $0 with three year term. Should be offering the Curve 8330 sometime this month as well.

Then of course if you wait just a little bit you should be able to pick up a BlackBerry Storm 9530 from either Bell or TELUS for an unknown price..

After you pick up your new BlackBerry smartphone head on over to The BlackBerry Sync Store and get it setup with hot new accessories and software!

T-Mobile BlackBerry Pearl 8220 unboxing!

Sure we have seen Kevin’s Pearl 8220 unboxing before but The Boy Genius managed to take it on step closer. He has unboxed a T-Mobile branded Pearl Flip 8220. He also goes on to say that he isn’t teribally impressed with the overall quality of the product “As far as the device goes, we’re pretty disappointed. Not so much because it’s absolutely terrible, just because the Pearl Flip feels like a prototype and not a final build. Even though this is a retail unit.”.

Media Sync for Mac is coming soon!

Today’s a good day for Mac users like myself. A recent post in RIM’s Knowledge database (Article KB16003) is showing RIM is getting ready to launch Media Sync for Mac OS X users. It looks like this software is designed for the BlackBerry Pearl 8220, however I’m sure it will work with all models. You might even find it will ship with the 8220? So keep an eye on here for this software as it should be out soon!!

Any luck at all and RIM will launch a Mac verison of Desktop Manager soon enough as well…

Silver BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 is the third color

So far we have seen both Red and Black in RIM’s new BlackBerry Pearl 8220, now RIM will be adding Silver to the collection. Silver brings a very nice professional touch in my opinion. We are not sure who will be launching this new color just yet, but most likely you will see it on both T-Mobile and Rogers.
