The BlackBerry 8220 launched on UK carrier O2 today, going for free, depending on contract. It still hasn't showed up on their online shop, so it's hard to nail down further pricing options, but you don't really need to beat free. T-Mobile's been doing so-so with the Pearl Flip, but Rogers seems to be taking a hint and offering it for $50, which could potentially rope some of the flip-phone crowd into the BlackBerry camp (especially since traditional BlackBerry users aren't biting). In the UK however, it may be more difficult to remain competitive when certain other BlackBerrys are also going for free on contract. Interested? .
