I like the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 for a number of really simple reasons. First, it is a BlackBerry. It has all the communication skills of any other BlackBerry. Second, inconspicuous. it is small and can go on a case on my belt and just look like any other phone. Third, reception is outstanding, phone calls are clear. I am a PDA junkie, there are seldom less than 5 devices on my desk. currently it is holding 4 Blackberry phones, a Palm Treo 700WX, Palm Centro, and a Motorola Q for phones and a Dell Axim Pocket PC. I know a good PDA when it hits me and this is really the best of all worlds. Small, bright, easy to read screen. Sure Type just rocks. Web access, while the BB browser has always had it's detractors, is good enough on the Pearl Flip to keep me happy. The buttons don't go and push themselves like on some devices. Battery life is not amazing, but, is certainly good enough for a day on the job. I will take a BlackBerry any day, and this one more days than not.Read full review
I like the idea of having a blackberry but still being able to have the protection of a flip phone. If you are worried about learning to type on the keyboard, don't. It has a sure type program that will take care of that and you will be typing with ease in no time. The only bad mark I can give this phone is the processor speed. It's a little slow, but it still gives you everything you have come to love and know about the blackberry. Just one warning. Save your contacts on some external source somehow or keep your old phone with all your contacts intact. The BB Pearl Flip has no backup assisstance to download your contacts. I lost all mine in the transition, and unless you have your old phone so Verizon can transfer them for you at the store, you are out of luck.
Here is what I think of the Blackberry Pearl Flip 8230. It's a great phone overall, and I purchased it used. Since it was used, the battery didn't perform at it's full potential, but a new battery fixed that problem. It gets scratched up easily, especially on the front, so a case is a great help. If you get this phone, I'd suggest putting a screen cover on the inside screen right away! The inside screen gets all scratched up from the keys and chrome accents! I was only into a week of using it and the inside screen got scratched badly. The scratches make it hard to read off the screen. It's speakers are loud and clear, so no problem there. All in all this is a wonderful phone and I could spend all day listing pros and cons about it, but long story short, it's the best Blackberry I've had yet!Read full review
Bought from page plus dealer here on ebay. Works great! So far. A week of use. Internet works well. I have to have a flip. This is probably the best phone for me right now on page plus service. I am happy I got it. The suretype is great once you get used to it. You can type any word you want, once you figure it out. It's fast. It's almost like having a qwerty keyboard but with less buttons and bigger buttons. Battery life is not that great, especially if you use the internet. It will need charged everyday. This is my first blackberry and I find it easy to use and simple. Highly recommend!
This is a good value if you are looking for an entry level Blacberry phone. It's battery life is quite good, and the trackball makes navigation through its menus fairly easy. It has a wide range of apps and features many would find desireable in a phone. It has a decent internal memory, but shines better with a large capacity memory card. It has a visually clean and sleek appearance. as well as a compact form. You can drop it your pocket or a belt case and have quick easy access to all its features. The speakerphone is loud, clear and true to life sounding. The only downside is texting can be difficult if you are not used to "double tapping " the keys to change letters and numbers. Otherwise, it does what it is supposed to do.
