Orange UK gets pay-as-you-go BlackBerry Pearl 8120

Orange UK has chosen to Launch RIM's BlackBerry Pearl 8120 as a PAYG number for all the would be messengers out there who prefer to remain sans plan. Price for this exclusive indigo set seems set at £145 (roughly $200) and should be landing in a shop near you in early February. Price of admission -- handset aside -- includes needing to grab an Animal package (Dolphin, Canary, Racoon, or Camel) and taking out a £5 BlackBerry internet service deal as well. Enjoy! At this point, pay-as-you-go is about where this set should be in terms of its age, you listening, Fido?

I heard a rumor that Tracfone is going to include smart phones in the near future, I'm first on the list if they do. Just think, then they'll have the best phones and the cheapest minutes on the market, the contracts will go down fast and hard.
