The wait may soon be over for any Canadians hoping to snag a new BlackBerry Pearl 2. An internal carrier ninja has revealed to us that Telus is now training its employees on the new device, which reportedly sports integrated GPS and a 2 megapixel camera. We’ve also been told that it sports the updated browser that RIM has been touting. You know, the one with tabbed-browsing? It also will be running OS 4.3 out of the box. It sounds like this little package of CDMA joy should be available sometime in November, though we’re not sure as to the specific drop date or launch price. Stay tuned for more info as we get it!
UPDATE: Looks like the launch date will be the 17th of November, but that is not confirmed.
Thanks, Mate!

Just so you know, BELL MOBILITY is launching this as well. Not sure why BGR only gives props to Telus all the time. I guess it may be because Telus has so many people leaking info.

so, would it be possible to import this and use it on verizon’s network since its a cmda phone and legally we are allowed to unlock our phones in the USA. the gps without paying verizon for their direction service sounds intriguing to me.

bbking,
I have also wondered why the BGR does not give us more info on which BlackBerry devices BELL MOBILITY will be launching now and in the future.
IF it is a fact that they will be launching the BB Pearl 2, am very pleased to hear this. What about the CDMA BB 8330 Curve?
