Apparently Nokia’s online sale last week was pretty effective because the Finnish manufacturer has decided to give it another go.

Right on time, the Pearl Flip has made its official debut on Verizon Wireless’ website and is now ripe for the picking. Surprisingly, sort of, the Pearl Flip has already been discounted — selling for $79 after a $70 mail-in rebate and two year contract instead of the announced $129.99.
