Earthlink Wireless Gets BlackBerry 7250

Blackberries with Bluetooth. To me, it sounds like a pie eating contest gone messy. But according to Gizmodo, Earthlink is now offering the BlackBerry 7250 to its wireless customers. It may not be pie, but it’s still pretty cool!

Earthlink Wireless is now offering the BlackBerry 7250, probably most notable for being one of the few BlackBerries with Bluetooth. It’s still weird to think of Earthlink as a wireless carrier, but I was checking it out to see whose services they are reselling (it still doesn’t say, although it’s got to be Sprint or Verizon since the 7250 is listed as CDMA) and they’ve apparently been doing it to some extent since 2000. They didn’t really get serious about it until this year, though, when they partnered with SK-Telecom.

In fact, since Verizon just got the 7250 a couple of months ago, I’m betting they resell Verizon. This post is short on facts but rich in the process of discovery. [Get the links]
