I’m not sure the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 is the best choice for anyone right now especially since the Tour is coming soon. Verizon Wireless is nevertheless selling the phone as of right now and it can be yours for $79 after a $70 mail-in rebate and a new two-year contract. The phone is available both online and in store and if you’re not looking for an iPhone or a Pre right now then a Flip phone from Berry might be the phone for you.

Having been initially announced some time ago the Blackberry Pearl Flip 8220 successful made an appearance on carriers such as T-Mobile and Rogers but other carriers were effectively left in the dark.

Luckily, Verizon Wireless has released a statement saying that the Blackberry Pearl Flip 8230 will be available from them on June 19th for $129.99 after a 2-year contract and $70 rebate. If you aren’t familiar with the Pearl Flip it is essentially a Blackberry Pearl in a flip form factor with RIM marketing the phone to prevent “making calls with your butt”.

Anyways, the 8230 will be running RIM’s 4.6.0 operating system on a 324MHz processor, external and internal displays, 2MP camera complete with flash, GPS, and a SureType keypad. As for me? I’ll settle with a Blackberry Bold.
