For a device that should be released any day now on Rogers, the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 sure does have a lot of price points floating around. The accidental Pearl Flip promotion published around CTIA by Rogers indicated $150 on a three-year contract, while MobileInCanada got their hands on a Rogers Christmas promotion which shows a $50 price point, something that we told you about waaay back in August.
Now, our boy Troy at BlackBerry News has some screen captures of the inventory system at Future Shop showing the Rogers BlackBerry Pearl at a $50 price point and $350 unsubsidized (no contract or upgrade price point). If the Rogers BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 doesn’t launch at $50, BlackBerry Cool recommends holding off a few weeks until it hits that magic $50 number.

Another screen grab from The Boy Genius shows that a red BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 should be making an appearance as well. While there’s no information on pricing, we do have one other tidbit for you: the T-Mobile codeword for the 8220 is the “BlackBerry HummingBird”. Isn’t that a much nicer name than Pearl Flip? Oh well.
