The wait may soon be over for any Canadians hoping to snag a new BlackBerry Pearl 2. An internal carrier ninja has revealed to us that Telus is now training its employees on the new device, which reportedly sports integrated GPS and a 2 megapixel camera. We’ve also been told that it sports the updated browser that RIM has been touting. You know, the one with tabbed-browsing? It also will be running OS 4.3 out of the box. It sounds like this little package of CDMA joy should be available sometime in November, though we’re not sure as to the specific drop date or launch price. Stay tuned for more info as we get it!

UPDATE: Looks like the launch date will be the 17th of November, but that is not confirmed.

Thanks, Mate!
