Hot on the heels of the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 Best Buy release date, comes rumors from a variety of forums as to T-Mobile’s pricing and launch date for the FlipBerry.
T-Mobile BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Pricing
* New Activation 2 Year Contract $149.99 (after $50 MIR)
* New Activation 1 Year Contract $199.99 (after $50 MIR)
* Full Upgrade 2 Year Contract $167.99 (after $50 MIR)
* Full Upgrade 1 Year Contract $217.99 (after $50 MIR)
* Partial Upgrade: TBD
* Retail Price: $349.99
The numbers aren’t much of a shock, considering the accidentally released Rogers promotion showed the same price, only with a three-year contract. In addition, there’s word on the Pinstack Forums that we may see the T-Mobile BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 by October 15th, 11 days before it appears in Best Buy stores.

First the BlackBerry Storm video, now this: those Italians get to have all the fun! That’s right, it appears that Italian carrier TIM is the first to release the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220, RIM’s first flip phone. Priced at 269€ (approx. $370 USD), the Pearl Flip should appeal to those fashionable Italians with its clean lines and black coloring. You can see the full specs (in Italian!) after the jump.
Thanks for the tip, Joe!

File this one under “to be determined”. However, MobileInCanada has published a photo today showing what looks to be a legit Rogers BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 promotion offering the device in pink for $50 on a three-year contract. Now we know from CTIA that the Pearl Flip will eventually be coming to T-Mobile in a bright red, but this looks to be different. As well, right around CTIA Rogers accidentally published a Pearl Flip promotion that showed the device to be $150 on a three-year contract.
Our thoughts? If the image is legit, expect Rogers to do the same thing they did to the BlackBerry Bold, and drop the price of the Pearl Flip 8220 around six weeks after launch — just in time for Christmas and in a new color. Stay tuned and buyer beware during the Rogers Pearl Flip launch.

We’re almost at the point with these BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 releases that we might need to make a ‘FlipBerrys Around the World’ post. Telefonica announced today that it is bringing RIM’s first flip phone to Spain this fall. As such, there’s no word yet on pricing, but by way of comparison, Italian carrier TIM released the BlackBerry Pear Flip last week for 269€.
For our Spanish friends, more information on the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 can be found at http://es.blackberry.com/, or you can view the full device specs after the jump.
