Other than Research In Motion’s stock taking a dip, there’s not much going on in BlackBerry land today (we wouldn’t make a big deal of the dip, either; it’s just part of the ebbing and flowing of the market). So we’ll just confirm some aspects of Sprint’s Pearl.

Verizon just began shipping the CDMA Pearl earlier this month. Now it’s Sprint’s turn. The Nation’s No. 3 cell provider will launch the Pearl 8130 — the Pearl 2 — on November 23. Black Friday. Though many stores have gone through measures to start the deals earlier so their stores aren’t completely swamped on that fateful day. Sprint stores will be, though.

We’ve been waiting a while for this one. Ever since the announcement of a CDMA Pearl a month ago, we’ve been waiting for an exact release date. RIM said November, and with that we figured late November, maybe December. But they’ve followed through, offering the device on Verizon starting November 8th. If you have an overwhelming need to click the “buy” button, you can pre-order it today find the Verizon Pearl currently for sale here.

Some people will tell you that Sprint and Verizon have the best BlackBerry service. We know quite a few of those people ourselves. The reason: faster data connections, especially with Verizon, thanks to their EV-DO Rev. A update. The problem, though, is that if you were a fan of the slimmer BlackBerry Pearl, you were out of luck with any CDMA network; the phone to this point has only been available through GSM providers AT&T and T-Mobile. That will all change in November, though, as RIM will introduce the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 for Verizon and Sprint.

Research in Motion does it again. Rumors are abound that the BlackBerry Pearl 2 will be released in the fourth quarter of this year. If you thought the original Pearl was a great concept and design, you’ll be even more satisfied with the preliminary details of the Pearl 2. Not much is available right now, but what is makes us salivate…just a little.
