Purchase Your Rogers BlackBerry KickStart At Best Buy Canada
bestbuycakickstart
It appears someone in the marketing department knew the code name of the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 more than it’s name at release with the mention of “Kickstart” above. This is a small misprint compared to the Vodafone iPhone incident.
The good news is you can technically get the Pearl flip for free in Canada. It is $49.99 and you get a $50 Best Buy gift card. Who would turn down $50 free at Best Buy?
Thanks to raynicolini from BlackBerry Forums.

Comments - Posted 06.30.09
We've long had the Curve 8520 out of the rumor column and into the "just tell us when" column, and as further evidence, the FCC has now approved the 8520 specs. The 8520 is also known as the Gemini. Lots of people are excited about this more entry level BlackBerry, which according to the specs is almost a "Javelin-lite". I'm hearing ... continue -
