Verizon Selling BlackBerry Pearl for $20 After New 2 Year Agreement and Rebate
Verizon has begun offering steeper discounts on the RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8130 in order to clear out existing stock. The popular device can now be had for $20 after paying $119.99 for the device before an additional $100 mail-in rebate, bringing the total to $20.
The device is also the beneficiary of a new software update which unlocks the built-in GPS module and allows usage of BlackBerry Maps with other programs to follow. This makes the Verizon version of the device fall closer in line with other models found on Sprint and Alltel.

US Cellular has been selling this at FREE after $70 MIR for new activations or Qualified upgrades… Cheaper out the door and cheaper after MIR, also better Network (IMHO, at least in Chicago and Milwaukee)…
Yes, but Verizon is the only nationwide provider that is directly discounting this much. Most people are not in a US Cellular coverage area.
I did not realize that Phone News only reported on national carriers… I would assume that the millions of people in the US Cell coverage areas would like to know that a similar deal exists for them…
Zero, of course we report on regional carriers. You’re free to search our past reporting to see that.
However, we always focus on national carriers… for obvious reasons.
