WOW. It's not even available for sale in the USA yet, but as of right now there are a bunch of lucky BlackBerry Pearl Flip owners. I just received an email from a CrackBerry reader who tuned into ABC's The View this morning, and was shocked to see the new BlackBerry Pearl Flip Phone be given away as a free gift (with one month's free service) to audience members. Talk about LUCKY.

I quickly flipped on the tv and caught the last few minutes of the show, and sure enough, they mentioned the giveaway again at the end (but never showed a good pic of the Pearl 8220). I did snap the photo above of the audience though... you can't tell from the back of their heads, but I'm sure they're all grinning ear to ear!
