Italian carrier, TIM, has just released the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 on their website for 269 EUR ($372 USD).  After a bit of anticipation for the first-ever flip BlackBerry device to hit the market, Italians will be one of the first to tackle the stylish device in a black casing.  It is expected that the red and silver versions will also be available on the carrier, but for the moment you will have to settle for a single color choice.  The good news is that the Pearl Flip 8220 will ship with a 1GB microSD card so now Rogers Canada and T-mobile USA have a bit of expectations to fill.  Any guesses as to which carrier finishes second in the race for the ‘Pearl Flip 8220′?
