Vodafone UK Getting BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9105 with OS 5.0.0.696 in Early June

Our Vodafone UK connect let us know that they had approved the BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9105 on May 21st. The Pearl 9105 with T9 keyboard will be releasing with OS 5.0.0.696, which is the highest build to-date for this device.

Our connect also showed us that the marketing posters will be arriving first week in June. We're expecting to see dummy phones arrive by the end of this week, which should follow with an early June launch.

The Pearl 9105 has gotten mixed reviews over its T9 keyboard, however, we know this keyboard is more traditional in Europe. Are you with Vodafone UK and looking to buy this phone?
