Continuing its multimedia efforts, RIM will next month offer the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 with Sprint Music and TV services.

Sprint and RIM today announced plans to offer the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 next month, sporting a range of multimedia features in addition to its core capabilities like personal and corporate e-mail.

Supporting the full range of Sprint multimedia services, the BlackBerry 8130 will offer access to Sprint's Music store, TV streaming, OnDemand news and entertainment as well as Sprint Navigation.

Featuring built-in GPS, a 2-megapixel camera, microSD/SDHC memory slot, Stereo Bluetooth, 3.5mm stereo headset jack and an improved media player and desktop media manager, the EV-DO enabled BlackBerry Pearl 8130 will be available in November 2007. Pricing has not yet been announced.

Make sure to check out our hands-on gallery of Verizon Wireless' version of the handset, which should pretty much be the same hardware.
