BlackBerry KickStart just another piece in the Pearl puzzle?
We've been calling the KickStart "KickStart" for so long now, it's going to be awfully difficult to call it anything else -- even if it's just another name already in RIM's toolbox. Cell Phone Signal seems to have stumbled across some sort of internal documentation that suggests that the first BlackBerry flip on the market will go by the "Pearl" name, an admittedly logical choice considering its seemingly consumer-oriented slant. As we've heard before, there'll be both GPS (8210) and WiFi (8220) versions on tap; the document actually indicates that only the 8220 will go by Pearl, we'd be hard pressed to believe that they'd break it up in such a nonsensical way. But seriously, RIM, think twice about ditching the KickStart moniker, yeah?

This corresponds with information that BGR got too.

Huh? What do you mean "only the 8210 will go by Pearl" when the highlighted text in the documentation you're publishing clearly says "BlackBerry Pearl 8220"?

Whoopsie, meant the other way around!

BBCool's showing that Rogers will be naming it the Pearl as well.
