T-Mobile now have the new Blackberry Pearl 3G 9105 on pay as you go on their online store.

The network operator only released the Research In Motion-manufactured handset mid-way through last month, but has already decided to launch a prepaid version of the device.

Customers who are keen to get their hands on the latest BlackBerry without having to sign up for a contract can purchase the smartphone for £249.99, when bought with £10 of credit.

As a promotional deal, T-Mobile is also offering six months of free internet browsing and access to BlackBerry Mail with the Pearl 3G 9105.

People who top up £10 a month will also be able to take advantage of unlimited free texts for the whole of the following month.

Alternatively, those who would rather get the handset with a lower upfront cost can take out one of T-Mobile’s contract offers. The device costs £100 on a £15 per month, two-year deal and is free from £25 per month.

If you love the good old 12 digit keypad but you’d also love a BlackBerry® smartphone, you’re going to love the BlackBerry Pearl 3G. Keep in touch with everything and everyone with BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) for instant real time messaging and the preloaded Facebook™ and Twitter™ widgets. Navigate easily around the screen with the trackpad and type the way you know with the 12 digit keypad.
