August 1st, 2008Deal of the week: cheap pearls
The sleek must-have wonderphone of just 18 months ago is now going cheap on ebay. Poor pearl we hardly knew ye. This year the little RIM that could has been overshadowed by the curve with it’s proper keyboard and of course by a certain apple device. As a result a fair number of used and second hand unlocked pearls you can find on ebay for only $100-$120. That’s a pretty great price for an unlocked smartphone with full bberry push email goodness. And it fits nice in your pocket.
Anyone out there still kicking around with say an old crufty old handset, it’s a cheap and cheerful way to get into the smart phone game.
Thanks to Michele for the tip.
further tips: second gen pearl’s (8120 vs 8100 is the gsm one) is a little better but also more scarce.
