The word is the Research In Motion BlackBerry Pearl 8230 will hit Alltel sometime in May and will command a price tag of $79.99 according to a post over at engadget mobile.

The BlackBerry Pearl 8230 isn’t exactly one of the most popular BlackBerry handsets but it does deserve some limelight, and this CDMA version of the flip phone will feature a 2 megapixel camera, a video camera, and SureType keyboard.

Also the one thing going for the CDMA BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 is that it will pack 3G unlike its GSM counterpart the BlackBerry Pearl 8220.
