Gadget site Gizmodo confirms that Sprint will roll out the second-generation, BlackBerry Pearl 8130 the day after Thanksgiving.

That’d be Friday, November 23 here in the U.S. No official pricing yet.

For $30 over your regular voice plan, you’ll obtain  unlimited web and data access, unlimited text messaging, support for 10 e-mail accounts, plus Sprint Navigation and Sprint TV, all on the EV-DO network.

Hey what can I say. Although I’ve surely had my problems with Sprint “service,” I got to admit EV-DO is way faster than AT&T Mobility’s crawl-y and kinda suck-y EDGE service.

"Black"Berry Friday
BBRules 15th Nov 2007
The 8130 is a significant improvement from the 8100. Much faster, media card access on the side, voice recording, 3.5mm headphone jack and better bluetooth tethering.
