Analyst Paul Howbold of Desjardins Securities notes this morning that Cingular Wireless will start selling the BlackBerry Pearl next month. That'd be November, only one month later than the Cingular devCentral tout I grabbed this summer- which Cingular freaked out about and pulled down in a nanosecond after they realized that sharing this info on the public Web was a bad, bad thing.

Although many of us have long believed an October or November launch to be the time frame for Cingular's Pearl rollout, the declarative way in which this highly respected analyst is declaring this as fact convinces me that well, yea, this time frame is pretty realistic.

Now I am going to deputize you BBHub readers.Any conversations you have had with your Cingular reps about the deets related to the Cingular Pearl release- well, just let us know.

And if you don't want your name released and want to contact me privately about this, well, then, we're talkin' russjourn@gmail.com.
