Big day for Bell and smartphones as they add the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 on top of the Pal Treo Pro launch a little earlier in the day. Thankfully the BlackBerry seems to have its pricing lined up and will squeeze your piggy bank for $29 on a three-year contract, a steep $349 on 2, $449 for 1-year and is $499 off contract altogether -- though the $29 is apparently only until the end of March. Telus is also prepping this flippier BlackBerry for launch, though no word on a date for that just yet. In case you've forgotten the pink or black 8230 features GPS capabilities, 128MB of memory, external 1.6-inch and internal 2.4-inch displays, and the oh-so novel 4.6 OS. Grab it now on Bell's site if you've been dreaming of the same ol' BlackBerry in an entirely new and interesting package.
Update: Pricing updated as site was updated.

249$ for that piece of junk. bell and rim must be smoking something. that is worth no more than being a free phone on a 3 year contract.. i dont care if it says introductory i think thats just a lie to make people think the price is going to jump back up to 249/$. no way in hell is bell that stupid to have such a ridiculous price for this phone. that would make it cost as much as the htc touch pro.
Where did you see at 249$ ????
I see it at 29.99 for a 3 year contract !!!
i just read engadget's post i didnt go to the bell website. engadget changed their post
the $29.95 three year term pricing requires a voice and data plan of $45/month
