BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 Review
(8220) Score: 35.1 / 100BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 is a modest device launched some years ago, in 2008, provisioned with a 2 mega-pixels back camera and a 2.6-inches screen.
This time, Blackberry forgot about optimizing the weight, putting together a 3.6 ounces product. This cellphone is a bit thick compared to today's phones, with its 0.69 inches thickness. The BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 is 3.98 inches long, but it's only able to hold a way smaller 2.6 inches screen.
This cellphone counts with a poor 76,8 MB internal storage memory, which might be adequate for basic users knowing that this cellphone also has a slot for an external memory card to store songs, photos and videos and even some applications that allow being installed in the external memory.
This phone only has a 2 mega-pixels back side camera. This camera also has flash.
This device has a good level 320 x 240 (QVGA) 2.6 inches display, providing this phone with a nice image quality.
This cellphone provides wi-fi capability (but it can't provide it to other devices around, as a mobile mobile hotspot) and 3G internet connection, supported by EDGE technologies. The BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 uses a SIM card for GSM connection.
This phone also comes with Bluetooth (2.0), and Light Sensor.
This phone features a 900 mAh small capacity Li-Ion replaceable battery, which is quite low for a device like this. Blackberry afirms this cellphone has a stand by time of 336 hs and a talk time of 4 hs.
Blackberry is offering this phone for 109 dollars, which is not a really offer for a phone this level.
