In the wee hours of this morning, I received an email with a photo of the forthcoming (couple of weeks at most, apparently) new Cingular BlackBerry Pearl.

I should point out that the source who sent this to me has proven quite reliable in the past, and I have no cause to doubt the authenticity of what I am about to show you.

With the caveat that yes, this shot- well put it this way- ain't gonna be hangin' in your local photo art gallery any time soon,let's see what is at least officially still under wraps.

Yes, there's glare, and yes, there appears to be a reflection. But you get the general idea of the form factor.

So what do you think, BBHub readers?

1. I thinks going to look nice when I take the keys out of the cingular and put them into my t-mobile 8100.. Maybe the side pieces to!

2. It looks much better in real life than that leaked artist rendering a few days ago...

3. Whoo Hoo what a veil of secrecy around this phone huh. Go to TMO website as this device has been in stores for a while now. Went last week to my retail location and played around with the device. Love the trackball instead of the 5way navigation pad. But this device has no wi-fi or push e-mail. Look guys not everything in real life is like james bond. do you homework and research and you will find knowledge is power. Please make sure before you get your panties in a bunch next time the top secret photos are of a not yet released phone, that customers of another provider already own.

4. ^^^Uhh... what? "no wi-fi or push e-mail." well, I'll give you there's no WiFi... and the TMo Pearl has been talked about extensively on this site already. The cingular version seems to be little more than a plastics change. Also, the side caps seem to be the same as the TMo one.
