BlackBerry Pearl 3G gets FCC clearance again, this time with T-Mobile 3G

Last time we went down this road, the Pearl 3G was earning its approvals on WCDMA 850 / 1900, meaning AT&T, Rogers, Bell, and Telus were all theoretically ready to roll. This time, it's the AWS version getting clearance -- in both 20- and 14-key flavors, no less -- giving T-Mobile USA along with Canada's WIND and Mobilicity everything they'd need to launch RIM's most consumer-friendly model. We still don't have confirmation either from T-Mobile or AT&T as to what their plans are for this thing, but at least we know we've got some legal hardware ready at this point.

Those damn canadians just regurgitated another phone on us... nasty...and I think they had polish sausage for lunch

i'll take the one on the left. I miss my old blackberry pearl. It made me feel like a 17 year old boss when I had it in high school.
