According to internal inventory, the upcoming BlackBerry 8220 in red and HTC G1 are both en route to Best Buy via T-Mobile and due to drop on October 26th. Canadian launch parties have given us a hint at the Rogers release date for the BlackBerry Pearl Flip, but we haven’t heard much south of the border. There’s nothing on pricing, but Rogers’ $149.99 on contract should give you a ballpark for T-Mobile.
As for the first Android handset, the G1, it’s not a huge surprise, since the announcement put the launch proper on October 22nd., and should be available for $179 on contract. The UK should be getting it around November.
Man, Best Buy really has been giving us lots of info lately, haven’t they?
