In an internal communique to employees this evening, Rogers announced that it has launched the BlackBerry Pearl 3G. Now en route and expected to arrive at dealerships across the country over the next few days, Rogers has priced the Pearl 3G at $49.99 on a 3-year contract with voice and data or $449.99 outright. Anyone planning on picking one up this weekend?

UPDATE: According to another Rogers connect, the device is now showing up in Rogers’ system with a promotional price of $29.99 on contract. Hit the jump for a screenshot.

    this phone sux… why would you want a blackberry that you have to multi tap when you can have a REAL blackberry with a full qwary keypad??? if you go for the pear you are better off with a basic phone. come on people use the brain god gave you

    • sno crash

      pear? whats a pear? or a qwary? wth is that?

      Oh, right, must be that full QWERTY keyboard giving you trouble.

      If you knew anything about the PEARL (not pear), you’d know that you don’t multitap like you would on a basic phone.

      But then again, you’d have to use the brain god gave you…

    Seriously?? – the pearl is not even on the chart anymore – who is running this ship now that Ted is gone? Last month they shelved plans for upgrading to a 4G now they are focusing on low technology phones – I used to pay Rogers high prices because I knew I was getting the best technology but clearly that has changed.

    Roger’s pricing = Fail. To all those interested, Rogers charges $500 for ECF +Data ECF. Think before you sign away.

    If you know you are gonna take the phone elsewhere, sign up MTM

    There is definitely something is wrong with rogers.ca website:
    http://www.rogers.com/web/link/wirelessBuyFlow?forwardTo=PhoneThenPlan&productType=normal&N=52+11+4294967111

    I mean, prices are just ridiculous!?
    Curveâ„¢ 8900 – $24.99
    Curveâ„¢ 8520 – $29.99
    Curveâ„¢ with GPS Red(?) – $9.99 (!!?)
    Boldâ„¢ 9000 – $49.99

    Of course, this is 3 Year contract, but still…
