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
Abstract: Here it is - RIMs first foray into the flip phone world. Yes, apparently people still buy flip phones. This is modelled on the massively popular Pearl, but with a little bit of spit and polish. You can pre-order yours for a non specified price here. O...
Flipping ’eck! BlackBerry’s sober business handset has tossed its glasses away, let down its hair and folded itself into a sexy clamshell. Well, sexy-ish anyway – this is no anorexic fashion phone but a classy all-in-one mobile. The gene...
It’s two steps forward and one step back for the Flip – just like a crazy Argentinean tango! While your hips are swaying to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, your shoulders will be jiggling with frustration at the lack of 3G connection and your feet itchin...
BlackBerry still hasn’t decided who its audience is. The Flip is too hip for executives, too chunky for street kids – but maybe just right for you, sir. Yes, you with the multiple email accounts, extensive media collection and trackball fixati...
The BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip is a truly sexy smartphone. Its modern, minimalist design is sure to draw stares - from men and women alike. But it also feels light and flimsy and the shiny black external display panel, the real focal point of its desi...
Keypad takes time getting used to, average camera, no GPS, unimpressive battery life, expensive
There is a first time for everything; the Blackberry Pearl Flip 8220 that you will see on the following pages is the first-ever flip phone from BlackBerry, who have so far made only slab-sided phones with large displays and full QWERTY keypads. But Bla...
Good design, Excellent battery life, Good audio quality, All regular BlackBerry features work very well
Video player doesnt use full screen, GPS is absent
Video This was probably THE most annoying aspect of the device. A preloaded video that we could not seem to access via PC played well enough and optimized the playback for the whole screen in landscape mode. The problem was that all the videos that wer...
Features a brilliant internal display and updated interface; continues to offer strong email support and adds Documents To Go; Wi-Fi; Bluetooth; 2-megapixel camera.
Doesnt offer 3G support or GPS; SureType keyboard takes some acclimation.
While its flashier siblings may overshadow it, the RIM BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 should satiate the appetite of flip phone fanatics by bringing in a clamshell design.

As with most other phones, you have to approach the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 from Telus Mobility with the right set of expectations. Power users with corporate inclinations will find the keyboard and display to be somewhat lacking for their needs, even...
Abstract: Cortesía de RIM, hoy analizaremos uno de los modelos de entrada Blackberry: el 8200 , miembro de la familia Pearl pero conocido en el mercado y foros simplemente como Blackberry Flip. Lo que destaca de inmediato en su diseño formato Clamshell con tapa, ú...
Puissance d’un Blackberry au format clamshell, indication/lecture des messages sur écran externe, lecteur multimédia acceptant Divx.
Lenteurs insupportables, clamshell massif, absence de véritable clavier alphanumérique, absence de GPS, caméra seulement 2 mégapixels.
L’irruption du gabarit Pearl avait été félicitée, il y a quelques années. RIM, confiant du succès planétaire de son Blackberry et déterminé à conquérir le grand public ...
