Sprint Pearl gets Sprint TV support and Sprint Music Store

Remember the BlackBerry Pearl? Yeah, us either. Some astute observers have noticed that the Sprint spec sheet for the upcoming BlackBerry Pearl 8130 launch indicates that Sprint TV and the Sprint Music Store will be an available option. This is great news for anyone looking to pick up one of the new handsets, as added media functionality is never a bad thing. While we personally don’t get much enjoyment out of Sprint’s mobile TV offerings, it’s a whole lot better than nothing. This service will likely be made possible by the handset’s EV-DO connection, which explains why we have yet to see such an option from T-Mobile or AT&T. Here’s to hoping that Verizon’s Pearl has V-Cast, which to our eyes is a far more noble stab at mobile video content. Wait, is it? Dude, I got Fergie. Dude, I got Joss Stone in my pocket.

    Any idea when we will see the VZW spec sheet. Is VZW still targeting Nov. As the release date? Any updates from the BG would be great…

    Thanks

    Galv – Bandwagon and Galvatron are the same amount of letters. Why is it not for you possible to type them all out? Ohh thats right because Galvatron is prolly saved as a cookie.

    Aww come on eJay, When I can decipher them, I actually find some of Gal’s posts entertaining; In a first grader learning to write kinda way.

    I really don’t see what he’s doing as something to get him banned.

    Just curious Gal, what are you posting To BGR with? a phone or a PC?

    no one knows when the pearls is coming.
    Could be next year for all we know. At this point you have
    2 or 3 carriers releasing / rereleasing current
    Pearls.
