While BlackBerry 6 is out and in testing we still aren’t seeing too many leaks of it yet. The majority of leaks we are seeing are the OS 5 builds, like this one for the Pearl 3G. Today’s leak is OS 5.o.0.921 for the Pearl 3G. This works on both the 9100 and 9105 models of the Pearl 3G. Its always good to see OS leaks because that means that RIM is constantly hard at work on delivering us a better user experience and the carriers are hard at work testing new OS builds for us to enjoy. If you have a Pearl 3G then check out this leak and let us know what you think of it over in the forums.

We haven’t seen a leak for the Pearl 3G in weeks, it’s nice to see some new software to mess around with. The latest leak comes care of BBLeaks.com. OS 5.0.0.884 is one of the highest numbered OS leak we have seen, well aside from OS 6.0.0.161 for the Torch…but that doesn’t count. So grab out those USB cables and boot up Desktop Manager 6.0 and let the fun begin. Oh, if your having issues installing your leak then check out our 101 on installing a leaked/beta operating system.

The grand master of pretty much the last stop for a device before it goes public is of course the FCC and they have just approved the BlackBerry Pearl 9100 with AWS bands. Just over a month ago the FCC approved the WCDMA 850 / 1900 pearls but now they have granted the 9100 sporting AWS the okay into the consumers hands, T-mobile has kept quite quiet about carrying the new Pearl 3G but this gets us a little closer to a confirmation. The AWS bands in North America are used on T-mobile and Canadian carrier Wind Mobile so it shouldn’t be long before the hot new pearl makes its way into the hands of those carriers customers.

A few weeks ago we learned that RIM bought QNX, a company that does car navigation software among a few other things. So its not surprising when we start to see the BlackBerry devices getting a better level of integration into BMW’s in dash computer system. The guys over at phone scoop were able to get a one-on-one with a BMW technician to learn about the new integration with BlackBerry, Now before all the BMW owners jump for joy, the moment the update only works for the Pearl 9100 but more devices will be added later.

up until now we have seen a lot of information about the 9100 from canadian carriers things like on and off contract pricing, but we haven’t seen a release date yet. we were just sent over a bell document showing a May 13 th launch date in canada. That’s only like, aaaaad, 12 sleeps away? Bell will sell the 9100 for a staggering $129.95 on a three year contract according to our tipster, sounds expensive in comparison to Rogers and Telus.
