One thing many people are concerned with when it comes to smartphone is the exposure of the keypad. Many such phones have no protection for the keypad, and if users do not lock it, they end up placing calls unintentionally, or wasting battery power navigating menus without realizing it. The BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 offers a solution by combining smartphone technology in a flip phone design.
The Pearl Flip 8220 has a great external display that helps you screen calls and messages. Additionally, it has a 2 megapixel camera, with a flash included, so you can take great pictures and either send them via picture messaging or upload them to your favorite social networking sites. The camera also has a camcorder function, so you can capture video and sound when you are on the move.
Another unique feature of the Pearl Flip 8220 is the SureType® keypad. The slender rows of keys are designed to offer users the ability to type messages quickly, and with great accuracy, on this compact phone. It also learns to recognize the way you type and word patterns to make messaging quicker and more intuitive.
The Pearl Flip 8220 also comes equipped with an excellent media player for all your music, pictures and video, with excellent resolution and clear sound. It also comes with BlackBerry® Maps, and allows users to view street maps and get step-by-step instructions on how to get where you need to be. With its cool flip design and range of features, the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 is truly a smartphone of distinction.

BlackBerry Curve 8900
The recently released Blackberry Curve 8900 is one of RIM's most compact and up to date phones on the market. The 8900 is slightly thinner than previous models and has less wasted space around the screen and the keys making it look and feel like a quality product.
The new dimensions of the 8900 makes the phone look much sleeker and modern compared to previous models and with it not being too small or too big it fits comfortably in the pocket. The look of the phone itself looks both smart and businesslike so will suit both teenagers and businessmen alike.
The screen on the 8900 is bright and large which makes it easy to read emails and view web pages on the phones browser. The full QWERTY keyboard offers a reliable and straightforward way of typing and helps improve the usability of the phone when writing email messages. Each key on the keypad is raised at one edge which provides enough definition to allow the user to find them with their thumb.
Just like previous Blackberry phones, the 8900 holds a tracker ball that allows you to scroll through your emails, web sites and other areas of the phone with ease and in the long run proves very handy as a navigational tool.
There are two keys located on the right and left hand sides of the phone which can be configured as shortcuts to different applications stored on the phone such as your web browser, music player or camera. The 3.2 megapixel camera is located on the back of the phone next to an LED photo light. This helps the user of the phone to take pictures with ease and the LED photo light helps to improve the quality when taking images at night.
Also included on the phone is a 3.5mm headphone jack which allows you to plug in any set of small headphones to listen to your music on the go. There are also keys on the top of the phone which allows you to lock the handset or put it into 'mute' mode with ease.
The phone's applications and games are enough to keep anybody entertained for hours on end. Boasting some great graphics for a mobile phone you won't be displeased when using them. Different apps can be downloaded from the Blackberry App Store which is located on the blackberry website. A handy feature included on the Blackberry Curve 8900 is the maps feature which doubles up as a GPS system.
Overall the BlackBerry Curve 8900 is in my opinion one of the best phones to be brought out for a long time. For other reviews on the latest cell phoneand Nokia cell phone, as well as the latest tech news subscribe to our blog.

Blackberry Pearl Flip
The Pearl Flip is a novel looking handset. It’s a clamshell design and Blackberry worked on the mechanism to give it a slightly different look with a chrome lump on the top of the device serving as a rather large hinge for the clamshell. Build quality is good over the front of the phone but the battery cover is plasticy and gets loose quickly. Other than that we like the design of the phone itself — it looks neat and the clamshell mechanism itself is intricately designed and eye catching. It has a decent screen and a pseudo-QWERTY keypad where a single key is shared by two alphabets. The outer screen is useful for displaying status messages and such, and can be configured to display different information. By default, this area shows a large analogue clock. For a clamshell, the Pearl Flip looks a little large but not overly so. The famous Blackberry trackball (which is how the phones get their name as its typically white and when lit up looks like a pearl) is also present and makes navigation a snap. The keypad is well laid out but it’s more suited for typing numbers than long messages and mails. It is not as good as a full QWERTY. The keys themselves are flush with the body and exude decent feedback; some amount of bevelling on the top would have made things easier.
The Pearl Flip has a decent antenna that offers good clarity on-call but it’s not as good as some of the Nokia phones. We like the audio quality of the handsfree unit, both on call as well as for music, although to be honest there are better options around. A plus is the 3.5-mm interface meaning your headphones can also be used.
Priced at Rs. 21,990 the Pearl Flip seems more like a fun phone than a serious Blackberry device and this will cause many to overlook it. People who want Blackberry’s usually want a full keypad since they’re typically using their handset to send at least 25 mails a day. The Flip is not as usable as the other Blackberrys in this regard and we’re suggesting you give it a wide berth as well.
