BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 Silver

The BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 for Verizon Wireless brings classic BlackBerry power and style to a flip phone form, without losing any of RIM's unique features. Like the original Pearl, the Flip version utilizes trackball navigation and a SureType keypad to fit QWERTY flexibility into a standard size cell phone. The Pearl Flip is compact and light, yet boasts a large color screen. Throw in excellent multimedia and productivity applications, and the BlackBerry Pearl Flip may be the best of both worlds.
