Very impressive phone with many features
By D. Truong TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on February 25, 2009
I've been using my new Blackberry 8220 flip phone for about a week now. Here are my impressions about this phone... the pros and cons. Keep in mind that this is my first Blackberry phone, so I do not review it in comparison to any other blackberry. Instead, I compare it to other flip phones I've had. My last flip phone was the Motorola KRZR K1. This phone eats it up, and spits it out.

Pros:

-Call quality: sound quality while making and receiving calls are good. There doesn't seem to be a difference in quality between making a wifi call or network phone call (see wifi)

- Wifi: This phone has a built in wifi receiver. This means that if you have a wifi connection at home (or any unsecured wifi signal) you can browse the web with this phone (for free). The pre-installed t-mobile browser is lame (it doesn't let you browse any website you want unless you sign up for the data plan). Download the free browser "Opera" for this phone, and you can cruise any website you want.

-Wifi calling: When you are connected to a strong wifi signal... you can make calls over the wifi connection, thereby not using up your minutes on your plan... very cool!

-web browsing: Web browsing is as good as it gets on a 240 x 320 resolution screen. Again, I recommend downloading a free copy of the Opera browser. When used with a fast wifi connection, loading time for pages is surprisingly fast.

-Built in mp3 player: The mp3 player works well and sounds good, but the layout/interface could be better. (tip: use button #4,#6 to skip songs instead of using trackball) For example, when the phone is closed... you can only access volume controls. The built in standard 3.5mm headphone jack is fantastic, though! All phones should have this...Read more ›

Excellent Blackberry - Different Look.
By Joseph Jespersen on March 27, 2009
The Blackberry Pearl Flip is an excellent Blackberry option for those of us who need our corporate or web email but don't want to lug something around attached to the belt. The appearance and design is exceptional and the functionality is equally excellent as expected from all Blackberry devices.

The Good:

- Small, compact design, full Blackberry functionality in your pocket.
- Excellent design (look).
- Large keys.
- Decent camera.
- Blackberry's latest OS.
- WiFi.

The Bad:

- Small screen.
- Non-customizable outer LCD screen.

The Ugly:

- Nothing.

For the sake of infomation, this is my second Blackberry owned. Previously, I have used the Blackberry Curve 8300 series for over a year. Prior to that, I was on the Motorola Q for several months as well. While my Peal Flip is company issued, I don't look like a corporate soldier when I'm away from the office. If you're going for the "I'm an executive" public image, then don't purchase/choose the Pearl Flip. If you're looking for Blackberry's functionality in a discrete pocketable phone, the Blackberry Pearl Flip is an excellent choice.

*** I also purchased the OEM Blackberry Leather Pocket case for the phone. Excellent choice for the phone, keeps the profile thin and looks fantastic. Just say no to belt-attached phones!! ***

A stylish flip phone, best for existing T-Mobile customers
By Aileen Chen VINE VOICE on May 22, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this phone as a temporary replacement to my AT&T iPhone. I'd never had a blackberry before, and've always been intrigued by them. I'd heard good things about this phone, and on "paper" it's a great phone for the price: wifi, gps, qwerty keyboard, flip phone, and quadband GSM.

However, I've learned the hardway that my iPhone data plan is not really compatible with this T-Mobile phone:
1) the data settings are already hardcoded to T-mobile, so changing them has been an unsurmountable challenge for me
2) Wifi browser is also hardcoded to only work with T-Mobile Hotspots, although I heard you can download a separate browser that will work with all wifi

Things I like
- LED indicator for new text messages, missed calls. (I really wish more phones would have this feature)
- Talk-time battery life, can easily go 4-6 hours of talk time+3 days of standby without any issue
- a typing game on the phone, cheesy, but fun
- standard 2.5mm headset connector (and it comes with the phone!)
- USB charging

Other things I don't like
- the camera. it's a tease. there is a flash and digital zoom, but the picture quality still sucks
- the clamshell joint seems to be a little loose
- the external LCD screen is made of a soft plastic, great for getting scratched

Bottom line: If you are a T-Mobile BB subscriber, then this phone should be fantastic as a secondary or "evening" phone (you laugh, but if you're shopping for this on amazon then I'm probably not too far off target). For other GSM users, this is still a solid offering for a smartphone but maybe something like a Windows Mobile phone might work better for you.

Rim did a good job with the new calmshell
By Wires on March 29, 2009
The phone is sold from T-mobile here in the USA and comes in red and black, the phone is very light, the phone includes everything you know and love from blackberries including wifi, pin messaging, web, email and other pda-like functions. The 8220 runs on the 4.6 OS but the stock software from T-mobile 4.6.0.180 can be slow and jerky because it runs on the older arm 312Mhz processor but I would recommended anyone with this phone to upgrade to 4.6.0.122 which seems to be the fastest most stable version thus far. The phone doesn't really live up to the build quality of other blackberries but many can overlook that and accept the fact that it is the first flip from blackberry and they did a good job with it.

Operating system: 4/5
Build Quality: 3/5
Features: 4/5
Battery Life: 5/5
Overall: 4/5

It's "almost" okay.

I had it for a year until I got tired of the freezing. I did like the external display. It allows you read messages without showing the Read notification to the sender.
