I spent a lot of time researching cell phones when my contract at T-mobile was up. I decided to stay with T-mobile, and I was most impressed with the Blackberry Flip 8220. from Amazon.com This was the worse phone I've ever bought, two weeks after I bought it; it started to freeze. I'd be in the middle of calling someone and the phone would stop functioning; then I would have to take battery out to restart it. If you're looking for a decent blackberry phone THIS ISN'T IT, DON'T BUY THIS PHONE... from Amazon.com Since I'd always wanted a BlackBerry but wasn't too crazy about the candy bar designs (I've always been a flip-phone fan), I jumped for this model when I saw it. The first Pearl Flip I received had a real startup problem. from Amazon.com BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 Phone, Black (T-Mobile) from Amazon.com Now, six months later, the headphone jack is broken (sounds fades from left to right and back again with any headphones I use) and the speaker stops working about 30 seconds into phone calls. In addition, the screen brightness fades in and out randomly as you use the phone. Sorry blackberry, but this phone is just really flimsy and poorly made. from Amazon.com Don't buy this phone. It might be the worst BlackBerry ever. I just sent back my THREE phones for credits (all had same type problems) and got the new BlackBerry Curve #8900 thats great so far. from Amazon.com I wanted a Blackberry phone but did not want to pay a lot of money for one. When I saw the Blackberry Pearl flip phone for .01, I thought great ! from Amazon.com Ok, the package came quick but with a surprise. When i opened my blackberry flip all my manuals were in another language and when i turned on the phone it also was in another language and i don't have a clue to change it to English... from Amazon.com I bought this phone as a temporary replacement to my AT&T iPhone. I'd never had a blackberry before, and've always been intrigued by them. I'd heard good things about this phone, and on "paper" it's a great phone for the price: wifi, gps, qwerty keyboard, flip phone, and quadband GSM. from Amazon.com The orginal one with the side track wheel I never liked due to its ergonomic limitations, even though it did work reliably. I also had the 8830 World Edition which was a great phone, but I accidentally killed it - may it rest in peace. The flipphone 8230 is a tremendous improvement over all previous efforts. The display is almost HD quality - it is small, but very legible. from Amazon.com
