Quirky flip design. BlackBerry pearl makes navigating menus easy.
No 3G and that underpowered twomegapixel camera.
Not the coolest smartphone around, but definitely not the worst. The Flip is a quirky addition to the BlackBerry family.“BlackBerry” and “sexy”, like “Gordon Brown” and “affable” aren’t terms you&rsquo...

RIM’s intention with the Pearl range has been to broaden the appeal of the Blackberry beyond its corporate beginnings and to make it just as much about all the other things that people buy phones for – style, fun, a camera, a music player, web browsin...
The Pearl series has done a lot to break Blackberry out of the business ghetto and this could well be the best one yet. It has all the Blackberry pluses with the only real minus being its lack of 3G, which seriously hampers the effectiveness of its br...

The BlackBerry Pearl gets the Flip treatment. The Flip 8220 features dual colour displays. One for viewing previewing text messages, emails or checking out who's calling and an internal screen for the rest of its functions. Also featured is a QWERTY ke...
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...
