After dummy units of the BlackBerry Pearl Flip started arriving at Rogers outlets last week, it was a bit of a no-brainer that launch was coming. Still, official pricing and a release tomorrow is good to have finalized. Hopefully the $50 price point (on 3-year contract) will help the BlackBerry 8220 sell better than it has been on T-Mobile. There’s been a lot of contention surrounding what the final pricetag would read, initial rumours floating at $50, then jumping to $150, and even yesterday, I saw an ad at The Source showing the BlackBerry Pearl Flip for $100. Maybe some crazy miscommunication internally, but now the record’s set straight. The pink version should be available in a few weeks. Hit up Rogers for more info.
