After a few speculative stories, a random eBay appearance, then a scant tech blog tour, the White BlackBerry Pearl is no longer a myth or mystery. Officially announced and released by T-Mobile, the newly skinned BlackBerry Pearl actually follows its’ namesake and is not exactly “white” and closer to a pearl in color.

Now users who have been fiending for that QWERTY SureType keypad typing, Bluetooth connecting, 1.3 megapixel camera snapping, media player jamming, MicroSD card slot holding goodness in white can get their Quad-band world phone / myFaves fix.

This new variation of the BlackBerry Pearl finds itself with T-Mobile this time around and not with Cingular (yet) and is expected to be priced at $150 after 2 year agreement.
