...we heartily recommend the Pearl Flip as a stylish phone with ready Wi-Fi connectivity and good battery life.


Highs: Very trendy design; high quality voice calls; cool user interface

Lows: No GPS; average quality photos; predictive type has a learning curve

Where to buy:

Introduction

As the first Blackberry clamshell phone ever, the Pearl Flip is designed for a specific cross-section of mobile users: Those who don't really need a full QWERTY keyboard. Note that the original Pearl, still a viable alternative, started the trend of predictive type, where the truncated keypad automatically fills in words and letters as you enter them. The good news, of course, being that The Flip is just as useful. As long as, that is, you don't mind a steep learning curve.
