Verizon Wireless has decided two of its more popular  BlackBerry smartphones are deserving of a new body color as college students get ready to return to school this fall. The cell phone company is unveiling pink versions of the BlackBerry Curve 8330 and BlackBerry Pearl 8130, priced at around $100 and $80, respectively.

Verizon had this to say about the features of these two phones: “The BlackBerry Curve 8330 is the smallest and lightest full-QWERTY BlackBerry smartphone, which makes the handset a natural fit for fashion-savvy students who need to manage their responsibilities at school, while staying connected to their family and friends. Additionally, students traveling off campus can take advantage of Verizon Wireless’ VZ Navigator(SM) service on their BlackBerry Curve to access maps, audible turn-by-turn navigation and information on more than 14 million points of interest.

The BlackBerry Pearl 8130 smartphone in pink comes in a compact form factor, and college students can view e-mail and attachments from their professors, stay on-track with assignments using the organizer, and even surf the Internet to quickly look up information when they are studying. Because both the BlackBerry Curve and BlackBerry Pearl smartphones run on the nation’s most reliable wireless network, students can rest-assured that they will be able to perform essential tasks quickly and reliably.”
