It looks like Bell in Canada was the first out the door wit the CDMA 8230 Pearl Flip. I thought Verizon had a chance of putting it out first but I guess they missed the boat. Just to keep in mind the 8230 has GPS integrated instead of Wi-Fi like the 8220.
The Bell 8230 is going for a surprisingly cheap $29.95 until March 12th if you sign a 3 year contract. BTW what is the story with these 3 year contracts? 2 years in the US is bad enough. The 8230 with a 2 year contract on Bell is $329.95!!! WTF…
If you are still interested you can pick it up at this link on Bell’s website.
