I also saw that ad. It was just sortof there, with no closeup, it didn't even get half as much screen time or attention as the Storm.

and it was that disgusting pink colour. For an up and coming phone, not too much screen time as others have said. However its understandable as it its not some sort of revolutionary phone

pearl flip price change. i guess telus saw the light after all.

449$ no contract

50$ 3 year contract

thanks kjb_ninja

Wonder if they'll drop the no contract price on the 8130's as well.

what still bugs me is Rogers had this phone for 350 bucks no contract price, though now its 399. I would never sign a 3 year on this phone, BUT if the price was right I would buy it out, FROM ROGERS THAT IS. Telus' no contract price is above 400, it just isnt worth it.

i agree the no contract price on this is ridiculous. this thing should not be a penny over 350 ill give em a break and even say $400

then again isnt the razr 2 500$

now that is absurd

**Quser112** · 03-03-2009, 03:09 PM

agreed.... for the longest time I thought pricing a PCS phone at this price point was very strange.

After many leaked images of Telus’ BlackBerry Pearl Flip, mainly through BestBuy, the device has finally appeared on the Telus website. Telus has both the black and pink Pearl Flip currently featured in the Telus Smart Fit Quiz, a micro site designed to help you pick the phone that suits you lifestyle. Again no pricing or launch date but we should be seeing the Pearl Flip on store shelves soon.

Take the Telus Smart Fit Quiz here.
