Over the weekend, we got an in depth look at the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 smartphone and now the device has officially launched on T-Mobile USA. The first BlackBerry to flip, this phone has a ton of multimedia features including video recording, stereo Bluetooth support, a microSD card slot and a 2.0 megapixel camera with digital zoom.
There is WiFi built in along with the standards you’d expect from a BlackBerry including easy-to-use email, text messaging, picture messaging, web browsing and more.
