Blackberry Pearl Flip (8230) coming to Verizon

Butt dialers dial no more. The infamous Blackberry flip that is currently only available to T-Mobile users will soon be making its way to Big Red. What’s the big deal you ask? Well for starters it’s RIM’s only clamshell Blackberry. People who aren’t really to down with the whole pocket dialing thing or just like flip phones will finally have an option in the Blackberry world. While the Flip doesn’t bring anything technologically new to the table, it does offer everything Blackberry’s are known for in a new package. I do like the lighter housing on the Verizon model more than the darker T-Mobile housing. What do you think? Would you take this over the Storm? Will the Flip pull you into Verizon?

    I really like that white color. I think this help introduce some people to the blackberry but I don’t think it’s adoption will be all that much. The required data plan is always a hinderance. I also don’t believe that people will ditch their carriers for verizon for this handset. This isn’t a huge device launch like the storm was.
