Looks like the folks at Engadget got their hands on Sprint's 4th quarter phone line up, and there's good news for Sprint BlackBerry users - the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 is a coming!! We knew it was coming, but it's great to finally see this on official Sprint letterhead. :)
Back in early August leaked slides finally provided visual proof of the long-rumored Pearl 2. And in mid August we ran slides of Verizon's BlackBerry Pearl 8130 (touting a November launch date). The CDMA Spring BlackBerry Pearl 8130 will of couse have GPS (look for GSM 8130's to offer WiFi) and will run on Sprint's high-speed EVDO network. BIG Picture w/ Details after the Jump.

Why is it when a carrier releases a new bb, the CDMA carriers get GPS and GSM gets wi-fi? Is this some sort of agreement with the carriers and RIM or what?
I'm going to upgrading from my 7130e soon, and if rather have wi-fi then GPS from TELUS Berry's.
Hmmm seems first there's bogus information the release of the 8820 and now your saying this.
Could you give us a list of your sources?
