Verizon BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 With the release of the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 (for GSM carriers), RIM marked a milestone with its first-ever flip phone.? Fast forward a few months and the device began showing up on CDMA carriers in North America and has finally come to Verizon. Positioned as an “entry-level” smartphone, the Pearl Flip is geared towards new BlackBerry users and Pearl 81xx converts. It appeals to those who value a mobile phone that's small to carry around and steers clear of the power users that prefer a full QWERTY device such as the Bold or Curve to get the job done (or in the case of Verizon, the soon-to-be released Tour 9630 ).? The device is solid and easy to learn, which makes it a great starter for those jumping into the BlackBerry world for the first time.? SurePress greatly resembles that of predictive text (or T9) found on standard phones, so users can more easily adjust to the typing style.
