Verizon
$70 - 700 Anytime Minutes 2 lines night hours 9pm to 6am
$35 - Blackberry Data Plan
$15 - PAM
$120 - Total
Sprint - My Plan
$70 - 800 Anytime Minutes 2 lines night hours 7pm to 7am
$40 - Blackberry Data Plan includes PAM
$110 - Total
Now these are before company discounts and other negotiable discounts. 
You start tacking on GPS to an already inferior plan and things get sticky. |
your vzw price quotes are a little sticky. But even in your sticky world. Ten more dollars gets me ten times the service,no? |

That's right Verizon customers, the Pearl 2 exists, and you will be getting a sweet CDMA BlackBerry before the rest of the GSM-using world (although this isn't "official" and a GSM Pearl 2 still has plenty of time to hit the market sooner).
The device looks good though - 2 mega pixel camera with flash, 1xEvDO, stereo bluetooth, and a 3.5mm headset jack. That's all the details for now. More specs are sure to emerge in the weeks ahead.

BlackBerry Pearl on Verizon? No problem | The Boy Genius Report |
Does anyone have any idea how much this will cost with a new plan? I used to have verizon and then I switched to tmo for the pearl and now that verizon is getting it, I want to come back because everyone keeps yelling at me saying I'm making their bill high (practically everyone I know is on verizon). So right now I am in the process of tryin to find someone to take over my plan so if anyone wants to switch to tmo...please come talk to me. I have about 22 months left, a white pearl and I pay about 90.96 a month for my faves 600 mins, unlimited data, unlimited texting to anyone, and equipment protection. |

I don't think Verizon has released the pricing for the device yet, but your data plan will probably go up. Tmobile has the cheapest BB plan around. |

Absolutely. I've been a fan of the suretype since I used it on my 7130e. The form factor (not to mention camera, bluetooth stereo, etc..) will make this a winner for me. I've had more issues with converting FROM suretype back to full QWERTY than I ever did from QWERTY to suretype.
The plain truth is: I like my 8830, but I'm definitely going to make the switch to the Pearl 2.

how come no one speaks about the Pearl 2 being capable of having video recording? i've played with the pearl 2 and you can record up to 2 gigs of video...the device is a little heavier than the GSM counterpart, but not by much. There is a microSD slot on the side. Verizon Blackberry users will love this device  |

I agree with you - the Pearl 2 does sound like a great BB... but I'm still planning to stick with the 8830 the more I read.
The camera would be nice, and the 3.5mm headphone jack was a big draw for me. However, it looks like they have now upgraded the 8830 to Bluetooth A2DP with the latest release, so that's less 'important'. With the full keyboard and GSM support, the 8830 is still the winner to my personal criteria. The fact that I've just learned I can "upgrade" it to the 8800 black keyboard for $6.00 from that heinous unreadable silver/blue 8830 keyboard is gravy too (from a thread in the 8800 forum).
8130 does look like a fantastic device for those that prefer the slim formfactor and suretype though. |
