Review: BlackBerry 8230 Pearl Flip

The BlackBerry Pearl Flip has generally received mixed reactions from the public who have used it. While some thought it lacks the looks that is expected of a BlackBerry smartphone, others think that the oddly placed trackball is the one that gives it the weird feeling. But those who have used the Pearl Flip from Telus are not really disappointed with it. While it does come with it problems, it also has a lot going for it.

The specs of the Pearl Flip include a SureType QWERTY keyboard, 2MP camera with video, Bluetooth, media player, microSD card BlackBerry Maps, wireless email and light sensing screen among the other usual stuff a smartphone offers you.

This device is shortly expected shortly on Alltel and Verizon, so we thought you might as well have a good look at all its specs. The pros of the Pearl Flip include a nice keypad that works well, appealing form factor and external LCD offering new functionality. The minuses include the fact that the phone is a wee bit on the heavy side, the trackball does not go too easy on the eyes and the video capability is not quite up to the mark. All-in-all, the BlackBerry 8230 Pearl Flip is definitely worth a look.

Take A Look At This Cheap Magic Trick

Take a look at this Magic trick. We are talking about this phone that closely resembles the Magic. But look closer and you will yourself understand that it is indeed not the Magic, after all.

The self-proclaimed follow-up to HTC’s G1 is a complete fake – and this very duplicate is parading around on eBay for the dirt cheap price of $122.99. Granted, that doesn’t buy you an HTC logo, Android or 3G, but hey, you just might end up impressing a few not-so-well-informed folk around town! Of course, the choice of purchasing or rejecting this one is entirely yours – we do not quite recommend it, though.

Samsung i8910 HD Slated For Orange UK

The Samsung i8910 HD is almost undeniably the largest-display S60 device ever produced and one of the most heavily-spec’d smartphones ever made for any platform, featuring a huge 3.7-inch 640 x 360 capacitive AMOLED touchscreen, 8mp camera, an S60-specific implementation of the Samsung TouchWiz with 3D enhancements, and HSUPA.

The bottomline is that if this phone does not get you all excited, S60 definitely is not your thing. Thanks to Orange UK’s retail launch of the device, Brits are getting really lucky anyways. You can now grab this handheld for a very affordable £97.50 (about $151) on a £35 per month plan, which seems like a pittance to pay for one of the real hugely stylish (pun intended!) handsets of 2009.
