As I had predicted by the product page being up on the weekend, Virgin Mobile Canada launches the new BlackBerry Pearl Flip.  The pricing on the new phone is very competitive and beats out the big players in Canada.  Virgin Mobile has it priced at $0 / 3 year … $299 / 2 year …  $349 / 1 year … and $399 / no contract.   Comparing that to Telus puts the pricing all $50 cheaper (Telus would have the upper hand in terms of plans though… Smartphone Combo!).  The Flip comes with newer software than whats is on the Curve or Pearl thus making the phone a little bit more attractive.  Unfortunately, Virgin isn’t throwing in an 8gb card with this phone like they did with the Pearl and Curve at launch (probably reducing costs).   Overall though, for a $0 smart phone this is a great device, fully capable of much more than people will give it credit for.
