AT&T Rolls Out BlackBerry 8110 Pearl with GPS
April 23rd, 2008 by Todd Haselton
This morning AT&T added a third BlackBerry Pearl to its lineup, the GPS-enabled Pearl 8110. Previously, AT&T offered the BlackBerry Pearl 8100, which is now available only as a refurbished device for $79.99, and the Wi-Fi–enabled 8120 ($199).
The new 8110 is priced at $149, $50 cheaper than the 8120 and with many of the same features, including a 2-MP camera, 3.5mm headphone jack for listening to music, and a side-loading microSD slot for adding music and video to your BlackBerry. It also has the same SureType keyboard.
Oh, and it comes with an “exclusive Indiana Jones ringtone.” If you thought BlackBerrys were still just for business, there’s your proof that it’s not. On the business side of things, though, AT&T is hoping that the Pearl strikes interest in potential AT&T BusinessTalk subscribers, a service that lets small businesses talk to multiple phones on the same contract for free.
