Here's one for the Pearl 3G users. OS 6.0.0.570 has leaked and is ready for the taking. This one is fresh so be sure to cruise by the forums if you do install and let us know whats good, bad or ugly. This one is good for both the 9100 and 9105, so you have no excuses! As always, use caution when installing any OS on your device.

*OS Disclaimer - Please Read: Keep in mind this is NOT an official release and as such is not supported by RIM or your Carrier. If you choose to install, do so at your own risk and only if you're comfortable in the process of upgrading and downgrading your device software. It is quite normal during operating system development for certain features to be crippled or disabled while others are tested, and these beta builds often reflect that. They are not always better. Depending on your BlackBerry comfort level, it may be best for you to wait for community feedback on a build before deciding to download and install for yourself or simply wait for the next official release. If you require support, you will find it in our CrackBerry forums via our extremely knowledgeable community base - do not contact your carrier or RIM for Beta OS technical support (their first course of action will be to advise you to downgrade to a supported OS). *

It's only been a short while since BlackBerry Pearl 3G owners had some official OS love. Last update being, OS 6.0.0.481 from Telus made some users happy but now, Rogers has gone ahead and released OS 6.0.0.526 for all. You can hit up the Rogers BlackBerry download page to grab the update and of course, if you're not a Rogers user -- just simply delete the vendor.xml file and you are up and running. Only to fair to note, this update works on the 9105 as well. Thanks, rroyy!

Here you go Pearl 3G users. Telus has officially released OS 6.0.0.481 for the taking. It's been a bit since we've had an official release for the Pearl 3G, so if you're on an older leaked or official OS then get to downloading. Not many reports in on what's new in this version yet, so head into the forums and post your findings. As always use caution when updating your device OS. Thanks rroyy.

Although it lags behind the leaked OS' for the Blackberry Pearl 3G, Aircel has now made OS 6.0.0.380 official and available for download from their Blackberry site. If you're not already running one of the higher, leaked OS you'll certainly want to get in on some official goodness. If you're not an Aircel user though, please be sure to remove the vendor.xml file before installing and also make sure to back up your device. Just because it's official doesn't mean you can't still lose your data. Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

If you're looking to get a deal on a no contract, BlackBerry Pearl 3G and live in Canada, TELUS is looking to hook you up. Be it in Black or in Pink, TELUS is willing to sell you either or for only $200. Which is a pretty sweet deal for a brand new, unopened, no contact device from any carrier.

To put some comparison on that pricing, if you were to go to AT&T right now and ask for a BlackBerry Pearl 3G with no contract you would be looking at paying $549.99. Also, if you're in the US and lucky enough to have some Canadian friends they might be able to hook you up. No details as to when the sale might end but I'm guessing it won't last too long.

Wow 2011 is sure starting out with some excitement! First the Bold 9700 and Curve 3G both got 6.0.0.424, and now the Pearl 3G gets to join them. Again, like the others we're not sure what may have changed but, if you load it up be sure to back up your data before doing so.
