The Blackberry Pearl and Palm Treo 680 smart devices have officially become red hot, literally.
AT&T annouced Monday (March 12) that they are rolling out a dark ruby-colored version of the BlackBerry Pearl and a crimson iteration of the Treo 680. The red BlackBerry Pearl is the first wireless handset to be branded for the new AT&T.
Both new, colorful PDA devices are available immediately and exclusively to AT&T customers at Cingular Wireless retail stores -- the Treo 680 initially at select outlets and the BlackBerry Pearl at all stores nationwide -- and through Cingular.com, AT&T's wireless business-to-business sales organization, authorized dealers and select national retailers.
"The new, red BlackBerry Pearl and crimson Palm Treo 680 are the next 'gotta have it' wireless handsets from AT&T," said Michael Woodward, executive director, mobile professional solutions, for AT&T. "The additional choices of color offer panache and style, and these world-class products boast all of the features that made the original versions very popular among AT&T customers."
Although noth devices boast a new choice of colors -- with AT&T continue to offer the original models -- the features and functionality remain the same.
Like their original models, the red BlackBerry Pearl and crimson Treo 680 have quad-band capabilities. Both can be used in more than 13,000 cities and towns across the U.S. and along some 40,000 miles of major highways, as well as abroad in more than 190 countries for phone calls and in over 125 countries to access data.
Both the Palm Treo 680 smart device and BlackBerry Pearl are available for as low as $199.99 with a two-year contract and after rebates.
