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.
