Full Specs & Features

 
 
 
 

The Blackberry Pearl Flip 8220 is the first ever clamshell device from the RIM stable.

It makes a refreshing change to the rather "staid" business range and brings a little bit of glamour to the world of work, work, work !

The Pearl Flip 8220 is a quad band device that has Bluetooth, GPRS, EDGE and WiFi connectivity. The "push e-mail" system is utilised & thus you have all the access you require for your "office on the go".

Design wise, apart from the obvious clamshell form, the Pearl Flip 8220 weighs just 102g and measures 101.1 x 50 x 17.5 mm so it's really quite a small phone to be packed with so many features, especially for a Smartphone too.

The multimedia support is very comprehensive & now supports iTunes too which is an added bonus. There's also a 2 megapixel camera for video & photography & expandable memory upto a very healthy 8Gb. Who says style & work can't go together ?

Smart, Sleek & Stylish Design

Small and compact, it easily goes with you. It conveniently tucks into pockets and fits inside purses without taking up much space. And when you are holding it in your hands, it is light, looks and feels good and lets you decide how, what and who you connect to.

External Display Screen

Discreetly screen calls and preview messages by viewing the high-resolution 160x128 pixel screen located on the outside of the phone. If you want to respond to the incoming call or read more of the message, popping open the handset reveals a crisp, clear display that is great for messaging and for viewing maps, pictures, games and more.

Camera & Video Recording, Snap and Send

Instantly capture those unexpected moments using the built-in 2.0 MP camera featuring an included flash to help brighten up darker pictures. And when you're ready to share your pictures, upload them to your favorite social networking sites such as MySpace, Facebook and Flickr.

Plus, with the video camera function, you can capture all the sound and action, then email it to friends and family.

BlackBerry Maps

The large, crisp high-resolution 240x320 pixel interior screen is perfect for viewing BlackBerry Maps. View maps, get directions and step-by-step instructions to help you navigate your way to restaurants, businesses, residential addresses and more.

Multimedia Player

Whether you want to watch a video clip or tune out the rest of the world by listening to your favorite songs, your BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 smartphone delivers visual and sound quality that keeps up with your needs.

And when you're watching videos, simply turn your smartphone on its side to enjoy a widescreen view.
