BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230
 |
BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 is a phone that debuted in May 2009. This model has a clamshell design with dimensions of 101 x 50 x 17.5 mm and a weight of 102 grams. It comes with 2G, 3G and GPS support and a 2.6 inch 65k color TFT screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. The phone includes a 3.5 mm audio jack and a speakerphone. There is an MP3/4 player which delivers some mixed audio quality. Sometimes, we heard a bit choppy and interrupted sound. The phone comes with a 2 MP camera which delivers average images with a bit insufficient color density. Unfortunately this phone model lacks Wi-Fi connectivity so you must connect it over USB port to transfer files from and to the desktop computer. Blackberry Pearl Flip 8230 is powered by a 900 mAh Li-Ion battery that gives you talk time of up to 3.5 hours. On standby it lasts up to 216 hours. The phone runs BlackBerry OS and it is offered in three colors – black, red and pink. Other features found on the phone includes Bluetooth, BlackBerry maps, MP4 player, voice commands and dial, predictive text input, organizer and some other features. |
