BlackBerry 8120 now available on T-Mobile
How’s this for a bit of good news? T-Mobile has gone ahead and launched the new BlackBerry Pearl 8120. For anyone that’s counting, yes, this is an early launch. Last we heard, the phone was destined for an April 14th release date. You certainly won’t catch us complaining about this one. The 8120 is a great little handset for anyone in the SureType camp, sporting a 2 MP camera, 3.5mm headphone jack, external microSD slot, and Wi-Fi support that couples nicely with T-Mobile’s Hotspot@Home UMA service. Expect to be able to pick one of these bad boys up beginning today.
UPDATE: Engadget pulled the post as this was incorrect. Sorry, fellas!
What OS is coming preloaded on it? The advertisements said “video record capability” which would have to mean 4.5. How soon can we get an open box from BGR to confirm?
Hey BG, I just scanned the T-Mobile website and didn’t see any thing there… Is this going to be an instore only type of thing? And what about colors? Got any info what’s going to be available?
The engadget mobile link goes nowhwere; I’m assuming the post was removed. I’m a T-Mobile employee and can say we have not received any shipment of the new pearls. Most likely a bogus story.
yea if this was ‘truly’ available today It for sure be in cor stores or online.
This phone is not launching today. It is launching April 14th.
Come on Josh where is your information comin from? Not to be rude but it seems that BGR has kinda been slackin in the last few months…anyone else think so too?
You can tell Josh is on vacation… who left the monkeys in charge?
Good going…take the news from another site and don’t check out the info yourself (how hard is it to look at TMO’s site to see?, or make a phone call to one of the store’s?). What you’re basically telling us here is that we should be reading Engadget and not BGR.
BGR sucks balls all day.
Someone insert a rickroll at the end of this post
where can we order this phone, and when, what colors and how much???
Thats the color, no more colors, at least at the launch, and the april date is right, for now.
it will be out in the gray color and to all channels on April 14th, specs are right on
This has been out on Cincinnati Bell for a few weeks now, maybe longer.

I wish all the carriers would release the devices at the same time. The consumers always seam to get screwed when it comes to cell phone companies.
