CSL has announced the BlackBerry Pearl Flip is now available through 1O1O and one2free stres for $HKD 3688. 1010 is already enjoying the BlackBerry Bold and pretty much everything else as far back as the 8700, but is still lacking some of the latest BlackBerrys like the new Curve 8900 and the Storm 9500, but remains the only real option for any Chinese folks looking to pick up a BlackBerry until China Mobile updates their product line after launching their initial service last year. If you’re looking to pick up the Pearl Flip, head over to 1010′s website. The Wi-Fi-packing 8220 really hasn’t caught on over here in North America, but maybe the oriental market will take more kindly to it.
