Black Diamond - Diamonds - Black = White Pearl

If your dreams have been haunted by visions of VIPN's $300,000 Black Diamond but the thought of mortgaging a cell phone wasn't really sitting too well with you, might we direct your attention to the Black Diamond's less-costly sibling, the White Pearl. At "just" $1,500, the White Pearl's price should be music to the ears of folks who are merely rich -- you get the same Jaren Goh design in white instead of black and you lose the diamonds, but the rest of the specs remain the same. Heck, you even still get the 2GB SD card bundled in the box. We weren't able to track down the White Pearl on VIPN's site, but if this all checks out, look for the nifty candybar to drop about the same time as its bejeweled counterpart in early 2007.

$1500?!? For a phone?!? Honeys, I don't care if it is titanium. For that much, they should've added a qwertyboard aalso. Las.

you should at least mention http://www.esato.com or http://www.widgx.com since those were the two sites that had the exclusive (you can even see esato's watermark on it)
