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?

You sir, are hereby banned for disrespecting the tuh…tuh…tuh…TOUR! Please go away and enjoy the horrible goodness of LG phones. The door is that way *points*
beth_horton2000 at yahoo…is about to get a whole bunch of spam mail.
We have a new idiot! You have no idea how Major wireless networks run. CS is going to raise prices now that they will make little to nothing on Roaming. Verizon use to roam off CS but with Alltel, Unicel and that other network in South west MS that Verizon will have, prices will change in CS. And BTW, all Verizon BlackBerrys are buy one get one free. If you knew anything about cell phones, you would know this also.
And that was toward Matt C

because tmobile’s network sucks, so RIM reques all GSM us based carriers ot have wifi on the device because of crappy 3g so their customers can use even crappioer battery drinaing HORRIBLE wifi signal to use a faster connection.
or have you not paid attention to how absolutley an abortion of technology the wifi is on the tmobile flip pearl…hell how bad it is on the bold for that matter. almost no range, and spotty luck keeping a signal
but yeah…gooooooooo wifi
I personally think this phone is sexy. just like all new BBs coming out. But if this phone is going to be 129.99 after rebate, how much will the tour be??
Who cares? What a peice of crap. Its had issues on every network its been launched on in Canada.
@kenny817 ur 1 funny guy. no, not funny. HILARIOUS….T-O-U-R!?!
@ everybody!
Breaking news!!! The Sprint Tour WILL be released mid-July! I repeat…mid-July!
Dunno about Verizon though. Possibly a simultaneous release???
Umm, did they strip out the Wi-Fi? Fuck you Verizon.
Sprint’s won’t be out in mid July. I have no idea where you got that crap from.
John, you idiot. CDMA ones doesn’t have WiFi. Go see if Alltels, or Bells, or Telus has WiFi on theres. They don’t.

@Tony
The pearl flip is rev0 and the Tour will be RevA for faster data.
OK guys, what is a TOUR. I’m waiting on an upgrade to the touch screen blackberry. How long do I have to wait.
When it says “GPS” does it mean “GPS” or does it mean “VZNAV”???
