Design
With a great glossy front, the Pearl Flip is compact and architectural in look. It fits perfectly into your palm. It is handy when snapped closed, and is elongated when open.

In fact, the Flip contains a wide color internal screen facilitating easy reading of text, navigating and executing of other functions. Its SurePress technology (SureType with multi-tap option/two alphabets per buttons), on a thinner QWERTY keyboard, makes sure you type with speed and simplicity. The buttons are roomy and finger-friendly too! Its external screen adds aesthetic brilliance and is perfect for timekeeping. Last but not the least in looks is its centrally-positioned in-built 2 megapixel camera with LED flash. Armed with it you possibly cannot go wrong while capturing a basic image.

The GPS service—both free and paid—with VZ navigator (giving turn-by-turn directions) and BlackBerry maps is its other advantage. All this can be used optimally using the headset and hands free provided. Of course, what add to Pearl Flip 8230’s flawless performance is the unparalleled 3G data speed combined with high data download speed (1x/ EVDO Rev. 0 standard).
