There has been quite some drama going on over at Cingular’s website today. The BlackBerry Pearl was available for pre-order. Then magically it was actually available. Now it seems to have vanished completely as mysteriously as it once came.

Before all of the smoke and mirrors the Pearl was priced at $579.99, however with a contract and some soul signing you could lower it all the way down to $229.99. – Ben Longo

It’s not often us Verizon customers get good news (or good phones for that matter), but the boys in red have been schmoozing it up with the folks at YouTube in an attempt to bring Verizon V Cast customers access to YouTube’s massive catalog of videos. The deal, which smells of an exclusive, would also give Verizon an on-demand YouTube channel for their TV service. In addition to your phone, YouTube is also poised to invade your Media Center PC with Yougle, a plug in for your MCE PC that lets you view Google Video, DivX Stage 6, and YouTube flicks straight from the MCE interface. We’re more excited about the former, which would give us something to do with our phones when Tetris doesn’t cut it anymore. – Louis Ramirez
