Will You Flip for New BlackBerry Pearl?


Let's face it – BlackBerrys are arguably the best email smartphone around, but they're boring. RIM's latest attempt to spice up its iconic device is the BlackBerry Pearl Flip, officially the BlackBerry 8220. Its new populist clamshell form factor is either a logical evolutionary step forward for BlackBerry, or an ergonomic anarchronistic step backward in the age of iPhone and Android.

Like most flip phones, the quad band EDGE Pearl 8220, coming soon from T-Mobile, has two screens, one inside, one outside, and you can preview incoming emails on the 128 x 160-pixel external screen. Physically, the Flip measures 3.9 x 1.9 x 0.7 inches and weighs a surprisingly light 3.6 ounces.

Flip features the full array of BlackBerry business attributes, such as WiFi connectivity, Speaker Independent Voice Recognition (SIVR) for voice dialing, voicemail attachment playback, and the DataViz Documents to Go app for reading and editing Microsoft Office documents, and of course all of BlackBerry.

Fun functions on the Flip include a 2 MP camera, a music player with an iTunes sync application and Roxio Media Manager software, MP3 ringtones, stereo Bluetooth, and a microSD memory card slot that can support up to 16 GB of memory.
