Product Description
The BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 is a multi-functional device on which information can be received, sent or stored with ease. The phone contains a built-in memory of 128 MB (user) and option to expand this memory using a 16 GB microSD card. A cool aspect is the Pearl Flip’s ability to double-up as a PDA device or a modem. Voila! You are organized and connected anywhere, anytime!
A bi-lingual (English and Spanish) interface further defines it. Irrespective of the phone language you use, you can connect the stereo Bluetooth hands-free attachment to prolong your verbal conversations. Meanwhile, the lithium-ion battery with a talk time of 220 minutes and standby time of nearly 9 days will never let you fall out of line. An added advantage is the phone’s TTY compatibility (with M4/ T4 rating) for challenged users.
Design
BlackBerry follows a minimalist design dictum and this aspect can be seen in this version. The Pearl Flip 8230 is a jet-black head-tuner. As the name suggests, the device is a flip phone (PDA style) that looks sophisticated yet cool. Steel edges frame the dark color and enhance the external features. Its thin, QWERTY keyboard (with BlackBerry SureType predictive text entry) eases ‘thumbing’ and navigation. The simplicity jumps out at you strongly. At 2.4 x 4.5 x 0.5 inches, the Pearl Flip is 3.6 ounces, which is not heavy in comparison to other BlackBerry versions. When the phone is flipped open, it is slim and long. It flaunts a LCD color main display (240 x 320 pixels) that supports over 65,000 colors.
Connectivity
A phone that irons out connectivity issues is a phone to mark. The BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 comes with in-built Bluetooth Wireless technology (version 2.0). The technology supports A2DP headset, handsfree and serial port profiles. You can share files with your friends to your heart’s content. It is data capable, where in you can use the phone as a modem to connect with your PC or laptop in areas where network is an issue. You can also synchronize it with your PC or laptop and transfer data—address book, calendar and e-mail—in a jiffy. Pearl’s GPS service is strong (although navigation services come at a cost). Utilize the Alltel BlackBerry plans and compatible rate plans (Blackberry or Alltel Smart Choice) to control usage costs.
Convenience
The RIM BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 offers 3G speed and connectivity. The phone provides strong e-mail solution together with software for attachment viewing (Word, Excel and PowerPoint). Its pre-loaded voice-activated dialing software makes you go handsfree anywhere, anytime. And the high definition speakerphone ensures great sound quality. Its organizing tools (to-do list options, alarm, calculator, calendar, and vibration settings) come in handy too. A fascinating aspect is the Pearl’s capacity to work as a PDA device (great for busy professionals) and the GPS BlackBerry maps that deliver accurate turn-by-turn directions. Suggested plan options (Alltel voice and Wi-Fi) increase your productivity (of course, they come at a cost).
Messaging
The Pearl Flip boasts full HTML mobile Web browsing with one-touch access. This feature ensures instant messaging (IM) service is hiccup-free. Moreover, you can take multimedia messaging to another plane. Confidently send and receive text (SMS), picture or video (MMS) messages without delay. The phone supports e-mail client with ‘push’ real-time technology that can integrate up to ten business-secure accounts (POP3, IMAP and SMTP). What’s more, Alltel messaging plan option makes sure you do not overshoot your budget for the month. Pick the one that suits you the best.
Camera
Use the BlackBerry Pearl Flip’s in-built 2.0-megapixel digital camera with camcorder to capture vivid, realistic photographs or record good-length video clippings when you are traveling. Click and share the photographs or videos via social networking or photo-sharing websites. An exciting aspect is the phone’s memory card slot for storing any added load. Automatic flash, digital zoom and a strategically-placed self-portrait mirror are other features that make this camera drool-worthy. A quickie: Upload a few photographs of your friends on the picture caller ID feature and freak out!
Music

Tip: Download a few tracks off the Net; you can synchronize these with your A2DP stereo headset and have a ball while you are on the go. This Smartphone allows downloading of MP3 real music ringtones. Set a few as your ringer or user profiles. Downloadable polyphonic ringtones (over 32 cords) are also in the offing. The phone supports memory card formats (up to 16 GB microSD card) for additional music storage.
