Verizon FINALLY announces the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230

*sniff* We thought this day would never come but Verizon has officially announced the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230. Available starting June 19th, Verizon asks that you fork over $129.99 after a $70 mail-in rebate on a 2-year contract. As for the specs, you know the deal: OS 4.6.0, 324MHz processor, external display, vertical QVGA internal display, SureType keypad, 2 megapixel camera with flash, GPS, so on, so forth. Anyone excited? The Pearl Flip is just as cool as the Tour, right?

I have been waiting for this one for awhile. I have had the 8130, 8830 and now the 8330 and really miss having a flip phone.

How much is the retail price for one? My hold me over until the Storm2…

199 after MIR for the tour I would guess
so 270 before MIR with a 70 dollar MIR

the storm was 250 with a 50 to make it 199, then they removed the MIR to make it just 199.

I have my pearl flip, and I will use it until the tour comes out. the flip is nice, cool looking, and fun to play with. the screen is sharp and the keyboard is better than the old pearl.

It will sell well, and it will be a while before the tour and storm2 come out.

this is a major rip off and it is announced so late
Look that http://cellularsouth.com. They have had it for weeks ,it’s 99$ and it’s buy one get one free I may also add verizon is a rip off cause their plans are outrageous 99$ and I have unlimated everything. Same for AT&T just cause they Re huge companys they don’t have the right to over charge for the see service I can get with someone smaller

Rant done

This is the first time I have posted btw

YUCK…..Silver is Gross! Why does verizon always go the ugky duckling route??? Hello guys, Black Phones are the way to go these days! As for the Tour, Vzw will find a way to screw things up. July would be sweet, but I feel a late Summer release coming on.

I personally dont want a flip blackberry, so I will GLADLY wait on the Tour to make its appearance.
