In September, BlackBerry officially announced its new Pearl Flip smartphone. The device has Wi-Fi with support for Wi-Fi calling and web surfing. A 2MP camera with digital zoom, flash, and video recording capability is featured. Our review partner Digital Trends tested this first clamshell BlackBerry for you.
Quote from the review: "As the first Blackberry clamshell phone ever, the Pearl Flip is designed for a specific cross-section of mobile users: Those who don't really need a full QWERTY keyboard. Note that the original Pearl, still a viable alternative, started the trend of predictive type, where the truncated keypad automatically fills in words and letters as you enter them. The good news, of course, being that The Flip is just as useful. As long as, that is, you don't mind a steep learning curve."
