BerryReporter has put together a really nice hands on review of the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 from T-Mobile.

“We have a little surprise for you guys today after we told you that the phone dummies arrived in T-Mobile stores today. I told you some good news was coming soon, and I try not to disappoint. What I have for you is the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 in the form of tons of great pictures, specs, screen shots, and a quick hands on video(the video was kinda impromptu on my Bold so it’s not very clear and I muted the audio)!!! This will be your one stop shop for Pearl Flip info. With this being so close to release(October 15th as T-Mobile reps inform us) we thought we would get you some fun stuff to read about if you are sick of all the Storm news. After the link is a gallery of images of the Pearl Flip 8220 screen shots, a live phone which is black, and a dummy that is red.”
