Cell Phone Hits! – Daily Phone Buzz

The BlackBerry Pearl 8220 has been put out at T-Mobile’s website while it is long expected to be the official launch-carrier for Waterloo’s first BlackBerry flip-phone. The BlackBerry Pearl 8220 is still “coming soon,” according to T-Mobile, but it’s good to see T-Mobile giving consumers an official sneak-peak at the first-ever clamshell BlackBerry handset. The new color is the red one and we also are expecting the black one. T-Mobile still uses as a code name “Kickstart London”. The BlackBerry Pearl 8220 features a bright and crisp internal LCD display that should measure up to even BlackBerry Bold-standards. And, with a 2 megapixel camera and microSD slot, the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 will satisfy that multimedia-fix you’ve been craving. It’s not as deeply satisfying as an “In Stock” sign, but T-Mob’s offering a link to preregister for the phone, which’ll presumably give you first dibs when it launches in the next few weeks.
