... hesitant of the Flip’s size, but early reviews have been a-o-k with it. The trackball is considerably more recessed than previous BlackBerrys in order to account for the top portion, but that’s something even the most diehard BlackBerry user could get over in time. On the whole the Flip is being pitched as a fun consumer-end device, a market segment RIM’s been hounding since the launch of the first Pearl two years ago (almost to the day).

An utterly workaday phone, but one that probably scratches the itch of quite a few people. It's BlackBerry's first flip phone.
Unfortunately there's no price or timing lined up yet, but I'd expect once T-Mobile gets the Android launch out of the way late this month the Pearl Flip should soon follow. Should be of a price par with the Pearl, too — around $300 new, but $100 subsidized.

... with 'exclusive' network T-Mobile struggling to release the Bold in useable form. If you like the original Pearl, you might like this too, with the same SureType keyboard, along with W-Fi, Bluetooth, media player, two 'light-sensing' displays (inside and out), up to 16GB of storage (via card) and of course, an email-friendly interface. You can bag one in black from today in the US - red and silver to follow too, for what's likely to be the usual 'free on contract' deal in the UK. BlackBerry Pearl 8220 (via ...
