BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 Maroon

The BlackBerry Pearl Flip is a phone of its own kind. It has most of the productivity features found in other Blackberries but a compact design and the flip action that makes answering phone calls tactile and cool. Familiar features include a stereo Bluetooth, a 2.0 megapixel camera, a nimble and accommodating media player and the tried and true trackball for navigation. Moreover, the phone has internal flash memory with the option to expand the capacity via a microSD card slot. With media transferable via microSD cards (that range from 1 GB to 16 GB and up), synching audio on your BlackBerry is arguably even easier than loading up an iPod. With a 3.5mm headphone jack (the standard for nearly every digital player), there’s no need for ungainly adapters and headset attachments – simply plug in any pair of headphones and listen away.

Like other top of the line BlackBerry models, The Pearl Flip has GPS, WiFi, Documents to Go support, and a pretty decent email interface. The SureType keyboard is an easy transition from a full QWERTY keyboard and messaging is quick and intuitive even for seasoned thumb typists.

Bottom line: The BlackBerry Pearl Flip packs a lot of features into a compact design. If you simply must have the best of all worlds, the Pearl Flip delivers. Mobile productivity apps for business, ample storage and file compatibility for music and videos, an excellent camera and, of course, flip phone action that you won’t find on any other BlackBerry make this phone a good choice for smartphone enthusiasts unwilling to compromise.
