Rogers makes the $49.99 BlackBerry Pearl Flip official

Rogers and RIM have announced the availability of the affordable BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220, and beginning November 4 customers will be able to grab one for just $49.99. That’s right, Rogers has come in quite a bit lower than the $149 that T-Mobile customers in the US will have to pay.

Of course, the Rogers branded Pearl Flip does have a few catches in order to get that low price. Thankfully, the few catches will be easy to handle. First off, customers must have a monthly service fee of at least $35, and second they must be willing to sign a three-year agreement. All in all this sounds like pretty good news for Pearl Flip loving Rogers customers, it seems the only decision would be which color to get. Initially the Pearl Flip will be available in black, and then a second option, pink, will be available in a few weeks.
