The Blackberry Pearl Flip 8230 has been already reported to come on Verizon as soon as June 19, and it seems that a few more documents that have leaked into the wild lately are here to “confirm” what everybody already knows or has expected. There are only a few days left until the device will become available for purchase with the wireless carrier, and things seem to point, at this moment, more into that direction, without any possibility to change on such short notice.

To recap a little what we already reported last week, we should mention not only the June 19 as the expected release date for the handset, but also the $129.99 price tag the Blackberry Pearl Flip 8230 is expected to feature at the carrier upon the signing of a two-year contract agreement and after a $70 mail-in rebate.

For what it's worth, the new Verizon BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 does not come with anything that could get people excited about, yet it looks like a solid device in a flip form factor that boasts a 2.0-megapixel photo snapper, a microSD memory card slot that allows for up to 16GB of additional storage space to be used, a SureType QWERTY keyboard, as well as access to the BlackBerry App World.

The specs list of the phone also shows an internal display that features a 240 x 320-pixel resolution, an external display with a 128 x 160-pixel resolution, an HTML browser, stereo Bluetooth capabilities, messaging and communication features, GPS receiver, support for VZ Navigator, BlackBerry Media Sync and a series of social networking sites like MySpace, Facebook and Flickr.

This is not the only BlackBerry handset that Verizon will add to its offering in the near future, and some of the users out there might wait for the BlackBerry Tour 9630 to come to the shelves, yet we must say that the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 still sounds like a good option for a lot of people.

I like the Pearl Flip - I saw it for T-Mobile and liked it then, but was waiting for it to come out on Verizon.
