| |  Verizon Pearl Flip Filtering Into Stores
Hey everyone i know this isnt my 1 millionth post on here but i just got some inside info on the New VERIZON WIRELESS Blackberry Pearl Flip. It has just started filtering into Verizon stores. A friend of mine sent me these pics so i figuered i would share it with the rest of you. Granted this is only the pics of the dummy but he has some real ones as well that he wouldnt picture for me. He says the release date is right around the corner 
UPDATE GUYS: Usually when they recieve the dummy it means the phone will be out within about 3 weeks so stay posted!!!

...and if it's anything like the T-mobile Flip (more like flop), don't waste your money. This coming from experience. The only good thing about the Flip in the anti-b u t t dialing feature...IMO |

What's with the analog phone on these models? I love my Pearl... The flip seemed exciting at first. But now I think its so ugly...UGH.

I've had this phone for a while now and it's really grown on me. Probably not the greatest for heavy e-mailers but more than sufficient for texting and occasional e-mail. It looks sleek, fits in the pocket easily and best of all.... no **** dialing. :-)

I find myself using the suretype more for texting than the full qwerty on my storm. Emails though I will use the full qwerty over the suretype.

I agree with gtstang462002, SureType is perfect for texting, it guesses your word and a text is usually short.

It's an upgrade over the 8130, has more memory and a faster CPU. The screen is also larger.

The 4.6 OS is a huge improvement along with the looks of the device. Hopefully the Verizon version will include a few updates that the T-Mobile is missing.

I was never a huge fan of Suretype either but I never really gave it much of a chance.
I always wanted a Pearl as an alternate to my Curve due to the size of it. I never got one though. Since I am planning on getting a Tour and it is larger than the Curve this seems to be a more appealing idea than it did before.
