RIM’s latest Blackberry boast a flip

11 September 2008 No Comment

With the BlackBerry now representing one out of every 10 smartphones sold in the United States RIM announced Wednesday the latest in its Blackberry smartphone line, the Pearl 8220 Flip. The new BlackBerry Pearl Flip now features two high-resolution, light-sensing color displays. The external LCD lets users preview incoming e-mails, text messages and phone calls without opening the handset. But RIM has replaced the traditional QWERTY keyboard with a SureType keypad that assigns two letters to each key. This may be a drawback for traditional Blackberry users and even new users will need to learn this new system as the new Sure Type does not have the same key assignment as tradional handsets.
Like most clamshells, the new device has a small screen on the outside for phone and text functions, while the interior 240×320 screen is closer to what Blackberry users expect. Multimedia features include video streaming, stereo Bluetooth 2.0, a graphics equalizer with 11 preset audio profiles, a two-megapixel zoom camera, and a microSD slot.
