RIM BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220

While much of the attention has turned to the rumored BlackBerry Thunder as of late, the RIM BlackBerryPearl Flip 8220 shouldn't be forgotten, as it's the first BlackBerry to sport a clamshell design. The flip phone comes in red or black and features BlackBerry OS 4.6, Wi-Fi, and a SureType keyboard. The Pearl Flip 8220 will be released later this fall and T-Mobile has been confirmed as the first U.S. carrier.
