Starting early next month, Alltel will be selling the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 for $80.Despite the fact that Verizon Wireless purchased the bulk of Alltel Wireless, the company still operates in 91 markets across 22 states with 2.2 million customers. If you're among those lucky few, you'll be the first to have access to the CDMA version of the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230.
The Flip was first introduced in the third quarter of 2008 and sold via T-Mobile. While that version was limited to EDGE data, the new 8230 carries EVDO 3G on board. That means speedier mobile Web browsing and access to data services.
