T-Mobile’s had their BlackBerry Flip Pearl showing in the online store, now Rogers has appropriately followed suit. Previous leaks about a $149.99 price point on a three-year contract are unconfirmed, but still seem pretty likely. It’s also confirmed that it you’ll be able to use Rogers’ voice-over-Wi-Fi service, Talkspot, with the Flip Pearl. Based on launch party info, the release proper of the BlackBerry 8220 could be around mid- to late-October.
