Once again the only reason it is limited to the 8130 is because it is the only device with the current OS 4.3 required for streaming video. Sorry for not putting any pics.

Even has posted a great guide on BlackBerryforums on how to clean your BlackBerry trackball. This may interest many users including me since mine is already black from dirt and grime.

Seidio has released a great low-price cradle for the BlackBerry 8100/8130 Pearl. The new cradle uses the charging contacts on the bottom of the Pearl just like the original BlackBerry cradle that costs more than twice as much. The new cradle.

The today screen has got a nice [...]
