I was about to get this phone through VZW under its "new every two" program. This phone would cost me $29.99 and I would start a new two year contract. Can I take advantage of your offer of the same phone for free or is that what you consider to be an "Upgrade w/contract extension"?

Unfortunately, you would not qualify for our offer. There is difference pricing for contract extensions.

The BlackBerry Pearl Flip has a large external display (aka cover screen) that can be programmed to have a large clock as well as other information. However, when the cell phone isn't active the display is dark (as is the case with many other phones) - simply press the side keys and the display will be lit showing the time and other pertinent information.

This phone has many of the same features as the Curve 8300 series with many added benefits. It is the first Flip phone for BlackBerry and it has the newest operating system on RIM phones. The operating system with widgets, applications, etc. is a big added feature for the Pearl Flip.

Expert Reviews of BlackBerry® Pearl™ Flip 8230 (Verizon Wireless)
Expert Rating: 3.8
by Joni Blecher -- November 26th 2008
BlackBerrys first flip phone has arrived, the Flip Pearl 8220. While it might not be as compact as many of the flip phones currently available, that doesnt mean its not an attractive cell phone. Although the 8220 Flip sports a new form factor, theres no skimping on any of the features that youve come to expect from BlackBerry. Thats simply not the case. Like the Bold, the Flip sports all the favorite features wanted on a smartphone: WiFi, stereo Bluetooth, multiple e-mail options, the ability to view and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint docs, an impressive MP3 player that supports album art and finally a 2-megapixel camera with a built-in flash that also has the ability to record videos. Simply put its a BlackBerry with an edge. We just wish it had 3G support.
Most Helpful Customer Reviews of the BlackBerry® Pearl™ Flip 8230 (Verizon Wireless)
Customer Rating: 4.3
by Shannon M -- November 14th 2009 -- Albuquerque, NM
I really love this phone. I can carry it in my pocket or purse without worrying about it accidentally calling someone- the reason I wanted the flip phone most of all. The Blackberry texting took some getting used to, but now I am faster than all of my middle-aged friends because of it! The only thing I don't like is that if is almost dead, you can't plug it in and keep talking awhile- it's going to die anyway. Also if it dies, you pretty much have to take out the battery and reboot because it says "radio off" which I hear other Blackberrys do too. I still would buy it again though!

I was wondering about the buy out of Alltel by Verizon. Does that mean that current Alltel customers will become Verizon customers? If so, when will this take place?
