Slow 3G speeds. Bulky. Hybrid keyboards time may have passed.
The BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 lacks Wi-Fi. The SureType keyboard takes some acclimation.
The smartphone lacks Wi-Fi
And the SureType keyboard takes some acclimation and isnt ideal for heavy e-mail users.
Feels a bit cheap and flimsy. Mediocre performance hurt usability. Lacked impressive battery life of larger BlackBerry devices. ...
Inconsistent Wi-Fi performance
Lacks 3G and GPS
Poor camera
No GPS and no 3GLook and Feel...
Ervative material takes just as much power to play. This isnt quite a smart phone. Five minutes with the web browser
Or a spin with one of the included games makes that much clear. It still does the mobile office stuff that biz users need

On the whole, BlackBerry has done a fine job of squeezing its emailer concept into a flip design. The keyboard is good, the screen is impressive and battery life is top class. It's only the sluggish browser and lack of 3G support that blot its copy book s...
Very trendy design, High-quality voice calls, Cool user interface
No GPS, Average quality photos, Predictive type requires learning, *
The whole point of the Flip is this: You get all the features of a Blackberry minus the full keyboard. As such, it proves an excellent phone for those either willing to learn how to use the two-character key typing or who probably wont be writing any ...
The Pearl Flip would be a great introduction to the world of smartphones for occasional users. It offers an experience that can't be replicated by a regular phone, and is competitive with most other smartphones. Although the full BlackBerry experience...
Great look, 3.5mm headphone socket, good trackball navigation, UMA support
No 3G, SureType keypad feels stiff and somewhat awkward, some play seen in the hinge
I was a very big fan of RIMs original mainstream consumer device, the BlackBerry Pearl 8100. It offered good functionality in a nice form factor, and had a great trackball for navigation. The Pearl Flip offers much of the same goodness in a new form ...
Abstract: Have I mentioned lately how much I love Blackberries? Well, I do. The Pearl series will never have a place in my pocket, but 70 percent of the population in the US who own a mobile phone carry a clamshell. To bridge the gap between the consumer sector...
