BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220
BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220
Price: Not yet announced.

The Canadian phonemaker's first-ever flip phone has the same trackball navigator and keyboard as the candy bar Pearl. The 3.6-ounce device also sports external and internal LCD screens, plus built-in Wi-Fi (which almost makes up for the fact it will only run on T-Mobile's slowpoke network). Available later this fall.


NEXT: HTC Touch Diamond
