RIM BlackBerry fans in the U.S. will be happy to hear that AT&T has finally started selling the good old BlackBerry Pearl 8120.

It is not the best smartphone there is, but still it's a good compact mid-range business messenger. The 8120 is basically the updated 8110 model, and comes with a 2Mpix camera, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, upgraded web browser, etc, but unfortunately lacks GPS support.

Research In Motion came up with a new lock-and-key system for its BlackBerry smartphones that have an on-board camera.

The idea is to lock-down and disable the camera while users stay in the office in order to prevent any corporate info leakages. RIM has filled in a patent application with the intention to implement the idea in practice.

FCC site has recently revealed a GPS-enabled BlackBerry Pearl 8110 smartphone.

Besides the GPS capability nothing else has changed. The phone wasn't officially announced yet, but it supports U.S. GSM bands.

Wow, now that's a price for real players! :)

For "only" £45,000 you'll be enjoying the new Limited Diamond Edition BlackBerry Pearl from Amosu. It is the same Pearl on the inside, but on the outside it's a piece of 18K solid gold in a form of a smartphone covered with approximately 900 diamonds.

Apparently, T-Mobile version of the BlackBerry 8820 smartphone will be available on March 5th.

It should be the same as the AT&T version, but will additionally support T-Mobile’s Hotspot@Home service.

Pricing details are unknown for now.

There's not much to say about it as apart from the exterior nothing else has changed, although one thing we don't doubt: expect a very high price.

The waiting is over! Rogers Wireless has announced that the RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8110 is finally directly available for their network.

The 8110 was a hit with every previous carrier, and we're sure Rogers won't be an exception. Some of the phone's features include:

• 2Mpix camera 5x digital zoom and a built-in flash;
• microSDHC slot with a 1GB card included;
• Music downloads through Rogers Music Store;
• GPS with support for TeleNav GPS Navigator, BlackBerry Maps included.
