Looks like the new BlackBerry Pearl Flip launch kits are arriving at Rogers in Canada. With that in mind, the actual launch can’t be that far away! From reports I’ve read, the device is going to start shipping out to stores tomorrow, which means the device could very well be available in stores by Halloween… Spooky!

With availability of the device coming real soon, the one thing we still do not know is the price. Rogers has listed it in fliers for $150, while FutureShop has listed it as low as $50. A recent catalog from The Source also had the device priced at $99 with a $50 credit.

One thing is for certain… The BlackBerry Pearl Flip is coming verrry soon for Rogers customers up in Canada. So if you’re looking for a flip phone with all the BlackBerry goodness you’ve come to love, the Flip might just be your answer. My advice? Head in to a Rogers Store to check it out for yourself. I’m always concerned about build quality when it comes to flip phones. Can’t wait to actually get the device in my hands to see if it meets my quality control tests. :P
