It's about freaking time! It's been talked about & speculated about for months now, but this morning, RIM announced it's latest - the 8130, or BlackBerry Pearl 2.

The upgraded version of the uber popular smartphone supports 3G internet access, has GPS with Blackberry Maps, A2DP Bluetooth, 2mpx camera, a noise-cancellation feature on the microphone, SureType word completion, and weighs just a few ounces. The e-mail program and browser have been upgraded, as well - producing 'full page view mode.'

So it's tiny and packed full of features, but how does it look? Similar to version 1, but a bit sleeker, and is now available in amethyst-black or silver.

Keep an eye out for it to hit stores in November, priced at $200 with a 2 year contract.
