Bell launches BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230
Surprise, surprise Canadian readers. Bell just became the first carrier to make the CDMA variant of RIM’s BlackBerry Pearl Flip a reality, and at a killer price no less. Bell’s Pearl Flip 8230 is available right now on the company’s site for a mere $29.95 with a 3-year contract. Don’t feel like signing three years of your life away? The 8230 will run you a ridiculous $349.95 with a 2-year contract, a whopping $449.95 with a 1-year deal or an unfathomable $499.95 with no contract. Seriously guys? As you well know, the 8230 packs 1xEV-DO, GPS, TV, radio and a SureType keypad into a slightly oversized clam shell form factor. It’s not the most solid piece of kit RIM has ever churned out but it’s definitely a great phone at a great price… As long as you choose the 3-year deal, that is. Good show Bell — now let’s hope Telus and Verizon aren’t too far behind.
Thanks, Bell Boy!
WooHoo! Free NHL decal!!! LOL…
So is that GPS in place of wireless on the GSM variant?
Some BGR love for the BB lovers!
Thanks Zach

Yes, GPS instead of Wifi, and EVDO as oppose to EDGE speeds.
snoooze..”niagara”
Do you still have ETF’s? The discount for a one year is only 50 dollars off the price of the phone and for two years it’s only 150 off….hate to pay the ETF on the 3rd year one.
