No, it’s not the same as a product launch. But, for fans of the BlackBerry 8230 Pearl Flip with a loyalty to Telus’s network, the appearance of the BlackBerry Pearl 8230 on the Telus website is a good sign. Telus is apparently preparing to go live the BlackBerry 8230 Pearl in the near-term.
With Best Buy Canada already offering the BlackBerry 8230 Pearl on pre-order and Bell having recently launched the Pearl Flip, it was only a matter of time before Telus got their act together and started showing off the BlackBerry Pearl 8230 on their homepage. Telus is listing the Pearl Flip as “Coming Soon,” but stops short of listing pricing details. Word on the street has the consumer-oriented BlackBerry flip-phone commanding a $50 price tag when purchased with 3-year contract, or $449 free-and-clear of any contract obligations.
