White BlackBerry Pearl Flip spotted on RIM slide

Up until now, RIM's first flip phone was available in exactly one shade. And in fact, it's still only being offered in the standard hue. But if the slide shown above is any indication of the future, we'd say it's a safe bet that a white BlackBerry Pearl Flip is on the horizon. The shot was taken at a company presentation on BES 5.0, though no suit made any mention the sore thumb. Fingers crossed!

Actually, it's available in 2 colors... red and black. White will be lucky number 3.

^You didn't expect Darren to get anything regarding Blackberry correct (unless it was ripped from another blog), did you?

T-Mobile had exclusivity rights to the white original Pearl 81xx series. They may want to launch this one as their own as well right in time to combat ATT and VZW's release of this model.

Hopefully, the whole body will be white as opposed to only the inner keypad and shell around the internal display.

I can tell you guys right now that Bell Canada is getting a Blue and a Pink one (not the amethyst colour currently available on other networks)
