If you read the title, Virgin Mobile in Canada now has the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 and the Pearl Flip available for free on 2-year contracts. With Fido prepping a possible May 4th launch for the BlackBerry Pearl 9100, maybe Virgin will launch it in the coming months as well. Mobile Syrup has just some details regarding their upgrade policy.
Also, Virgin has sent out an e-mail to their “members” who have a CDMA device that they must mandatory upgrade to the new billing system. Virgin states that their members “deserve the best of everything” and that “this big time system and billing upgrade will make being a Member even better”. For these customers you’ll be getting (if not already received) an e-mail with a date that Virgin will be upgrading your phone, all you need to do is re-program your phone to work on the new network. It’s a mandatory upgrade and Virgin stated “if we don’t get you upgraded then eventually you wouldn’t be able to use your phone anymore, and that would not be cool”.
Virgin sent us a note that stated “While we are moving our members over to a new billing system, it doesn’t require any upgrades to HPSA – it’s completely up to you if you stick with your CDMA device or if you want an HSPA device. The new system is, however, necessary if you want an HSPA device, plus it gives you more functions to edit your account system, review your e-bill and change around your settings. All members need to do is edit the programming on their phone to move over to the new billing system – but a head’s up, changing the programming won’t change your phone over to HSPA. You’d need to replace your CDMA phone with an HSPA phone to hook up to the HSPA network.”
