Finally, two new reviews have hit the web for this phone – one from PC Magazine and one from PhoneScoop. Here’s what PC Mag had to say about the new Flip:
The BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 will likely be another winner from RIM—that is, once the company works out its many bugs. Don’t be a beta tester; wait until software updates make this phone work correctly.
Here’s what PhoneScoop had to say:
If you’re looking for a phone that does messaging first, and phone calls and media second, then there’s nothing wrong with the Flip. If media playback is super important to you, you’re looking at the wrong phone.
