BlackBerry's First Ever Clamshell

Here is the first Clamshell from Blackberry, Pearl Flip 8220. So finally, Blackberry wanted a change? These guys are now thinking differently, targeting those customers who don't need their phone for work.         

This stylish clamshell has a 27x34mm outer screen displaying an analogue clock and a 240x320 pixel main display. The keypad is in BlackBerry SureType way, that is 2 letters per key arranged in QWERTY, as we explained in BlackBerry Storm's keypad options. 

Both Blackberry map and Google map are included. As there is no GPS you have to adjust with the 500m tolerance resulting from the cell site triangulation technique, which they use to estimate where you are. There is no 3G but the quad band. Wi-Fi and bluetooth connectivity are provided.

 

Pearl comes with BlackBerry OS along with a decent Web browser, email client and facebook app. 2 megapixel camera, decent audio player, 128MB in-built memory, 16GB microSD slot, 3.5mm audio jack are among other features of this good looking clamshell. Read Techradar.com review.
