BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 available in the UK via O2
Only few weeks after being released in the US by T-Mobile, BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 is now out in the UK too.
The smartphone is offered only by O2 for the moment, but there will probably be other carriers to also release it in the near future.
RIM’s first and only clamshell, the Pearl Flip 8220 is also the only Canadian smartphone to pack two displays: a 2.6 inches internal one with 240 x 320 pixels, and a 128 x 160 pixels external one. Obviously, the latter allows you to view incoming calls, messages, battery status and so on, without opening the handset.
Of course, in case flip phones are not your thing, you can wait for the touchscreen BlackBerry Storm, which should hit the UK soon, via Vodafone.
Anyway, here are the main specs & features of BlackBerry Pearl 8220:
-
SureType QWERTY keypad

BlackBerry Maps
