The first BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) flip-phone from RIM has apparently made an appearance at the Future Shop! Even before the handset’s official announcement on Rogers (NYSE: RCI)’ network, it seems that Future Shop is offering the BlackBerry 8220 Pearl clamshell at an expected $50 price-point. Of course, a 3 year service contract with Rogers is required, and you’ll have to get off your duff and pick up the handset in a brick-and-mortar store.
Following on their product-listing fiasco with the HTC Touch Pro, Future Shop is likely going to have to take down their BlackBerry 8220 Pearl listing post haste.
On a positive note, the BlackBerry 8220 Pearl is probably going to be released on Rogers in the near term.
