BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 Review
(8230) Score: 33.9 / 100BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 is a low-end cellphone, packing a 2.6 inches screen and a 2 MP back facing camera. But let's get into more details.
The BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 is a little bit thick for current standards, being as thick as 0.69". This phone isn't a very compact cellphone, taking into account that it is 3.98" long and 1.97" wide,but it only packs a 2.6 inches display. Blackberry didn't put much effort to reduce weight in this 3.6 oz cellphone, far heavier than other similar phones.
This cellphone has a good 320 x 240 (QVGA) 2.6-inches display, which makes all pictures and videos look good.
This phone has only a 2 megapixels back camera. This cellphone also counts with flash.
The BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 packs a 900 mAh poor capacity Li-Ion removable battery that can keep this cellphone running for some hours, although you will find yourself looking for a place to charge it even after moderate use. According to Blackberry, this phone has a reported 3.5 hs talk time and a 216 hours stand by time.
The BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 doesn't have a SIM card, because it doesn't work with GSM connections and it can connect to CDMA networks.
This cellphone also includes a couple of interesting characteristics such as Bluetooth (2.0) and GPS, and Light Sensor.
