BlackBerry Pearl Gets Google Maps with Voice Search

Google has just released a new version of their maps application that supports voice recognition search on the BlackBerry Pearl. That means Pearl users can load Google Maps, hold a side button, say "pizza, i said PIZZA...PEE ZZ UH" and have the application magically find tacos in your immediate vicinity. This upgrade doesn't look to be automatic, so hit the link to have Google text message your phone for the "experimental" update. [Google Maps via Gear Diary]

GPS-enabled Blackberry Pearl 8110 Arrives on AT&T

If the lack of GPS on the AT&T Blackberry Pearl was the one thing holding you back, today is your lucky day. The GPS-capable 8110 is now available through AT&T. Unfortunately, the $150 handset sacrifices Wi-Fi in favor of navigaton. [AT&T via IntoMobile]

BlackBerry's 8120 Pearl Goes Wi-Fi For AT&T

The Wi-Fi-enabled BlackBerry Pearl, which was previously Europe-only, has finally made its way into the US by way of AT&T. The 8120 had a 2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, and a price of $199 with a two-year contract and rebates. What would you use that Wi-fi for? How about watching TV shows over Slingplayer? [Crave]

WildCharge Releases iPhone, iPod, BlackBerry Pearl/8800 Wireless Charging Adapters

Wildcharge, the device that lets you wirelessly charge your RAZR, has just released new adapters for the iPhone, iPod, BlackBerry Pearl, BlackBerry 8800 and 2nd Gen iPod Nano. It still works the same: put the adapter on the back of your phone, place your phone onto the charging pad and wait for the juice to flow. No pricing information on this quite yet, but the old RAZR chargers were $34 (or $89 for the pad and the charger together). [WildCharge]

Pink BlackBerry Pearl Aimed at Consumer Market as RIM Feels iPhone Heat

RIM's response to the market-share-gulping iPhone is to try to appeal to the female consumer by splashing pink paint all over the BlackBerry Pearl. Sigh. Why do some manufacturers insist on churning out pink versions of their products for women? Research says women are not particularly into it—unless, of course, she is a crack-addled nutcase who has yet to leave her tweenage Barbie phase behind. [Reuters]

Hands-on With Slingplayer Mobile, BlackBerry Version

The last of the major smartphone operating systems, RIM's BlackBerry, has finally received support for SlingPlayer Mobile. Not only can stock brokers, businessmen, bankers, analysts and other jerks email their co-workers at their lunch meetings, they now can catch the game at the same time. We demoed this earlier in the week for ourselves, and saw that the quality was actually very good, even over EDGE. More »

Rumor confirmed. On Friday, November 23, better known to you Dealzmodo nuts as Black Friday, Sprint plans to roll out the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 ($200 with two-year contract and $50 mail-in rebate). Buyers of the BlackBerry can also get the new Power Vision BlackBerry Pack: For $30 per month on top of your voice plan, you get unlimited web and data access, unlimited text messaging, support for 10 email accounts, plus Sprint Navigation and Sprint TV, all on the EV-DO network. Black Friday will also bring Motorola's Windows-Mobile Q9c ($150 with two-year contract and $100 mail-in rebate) and the slim, sexy and military-grade dust- shock- and vibration-resistant Moto i335 for Nextel ($50 with two-year contract and $50 mail-in rebate).

RIM Sues LG Over the Words "Black," "Berry" and "Pearl"

Incensed over a pair of LG handsets that truthfully, probably were named to ape BlackBerry—the Black Cherry and Strawberry—RIM's taking LG to court. Fair enough. But RIM's arguing that any wireless device with the words "black," "berry," or "pearl" in its name isn't kosher, and requires RIM's consent. Apparently, Verizon asked for the okay to use Black Cherry and Blueberry for a set of LG's Chocolate phones, but RIM gave a wag of the finger, obviously leading Verizon and LG to just go for it. RIM's solution: total destruction of all LG wares with any of the forbidden words in its name. Bonfire! [The Globe and Mail via BGR, Flickr]

BlackBerry Pearl Available on Verizon 11/8

The BlackBerry Pearl 8310, which we got our hands on here, is coming to Verizon on 11/8 for $200. If you're too lazy to click over to see the hands-on, there's a GPS and will have a $45 BlackBerry Data plan on top of your voice plan. An extra $15 will let you use it as a 3G modem as well.

Rumor has it, on Nov. 4th, Sprint will pop a $30 BlackBerry plan with unlimited BIS e-mail and web, IM, text messaging and navigation. That's cheaper than T-Mo's $35 monthly rate, and way cheaper than Sprint's current $50/month BB unlimited plan. Very Pearl friendly indeed. [BGR]
