Video Review: BlackBerry Pearl 8220 flip mobile phone

Posted by Rhiain Morgan on Fri 21 Nov 2008

Flip reverse it...

With all the hoo-ha surrounding the Storm, RIM has sneaked another little gem through the back door. The RIM Blackberry Pearl 8220 flip smartphone is the latest in the line up of semi-precious smarties.

Snubbing the candybar design of its predecessors, the 8220 struts up sporting a first for RIM with the flip design. Sitting pretty in the hand it does conjure up images of a pimped Motorola RAZR, but when we say pimped, we’re talking Westwood. It’s slightly shorter than the likes of the Pearl 8130 but on the chunkier side, nothing compared to the likes of the Curves out there.

With the flip comes the buy one phone and get two screens offer. The first on its outer shell is a 12 8x 260 TFT LCD screen, which lets you preview messages and also check the caller's ID. It's not groundbreaking technology and most flip phones have the same feature, but it can prove useful to avoid unwanted 0800 numbers.

The inner screen is where the big money is. It’s a 240 x 320 3-inch screen which lets you view video in landscape or portrait mode. The quality is fantastic and sporting the new Blackberry UI (seen previously on the Bold), it’s a welcome update from the slightly poky 8130.

Other updates include a massive memory upgrade from the 64MB on previous Pearls to 128MB and the addition of the BlackBerry media synch that’ll let you whiz your tunes from your PC onto your 'Berry.

To get yourself a free iPhone, iPod Touch, or the latest Macbook Air all you have to do is follow the 3 easy steps:

Step 1 : Sign up for a free Gift
Sign up at the link below to get your free gift. We recommend this free gift site because it's been TRIED and TESTED to work.

Apple-FreebieJeebies.com

You can choose other prizes like free iMacs from this site too! Make sure you use a real email address. Use your real details when you sign up so that the company knows where to send your gift! Remember that they have been proven legitimate, so will send you your free gift if you do everything legitimately!

Step 2 : Try an advertiser's offer
Basically all you need to do in this step is complete one of the offers, this is where the freebie site make their money, if you complete an offer then the freebie site will recieve commission for it. So if you complete Coral which will only cost you £5 to complete, the freebie site gets £25 from Coral. The two best offers are Lovefilm Free DVD rental trial (where you rent any two DVD's for free!) and Coral (bet £5 on a sport). I would reccommend you do Coral as it credits in an hour and is really simple to do, Lovefilm however can become complicated and takes up to 4 weeks to credit! You can also try one of the other offers, most are gambling offers. Don't skip this step! You must complete this step to get your free gift!

Step 3 : Refer some friends

This part is a lot easier than it seems, especially now with free gift sites getting so popular. There's lots of people online who want a free iPhone, Touch or macbook too, so start referring them! You only need to get a few signups before you'll be finished. You can ask your friends or your online buddies. I already got a free iPhone without even having to ask my friends for help - there's lots of people online who want a free iPhone like you! One of the easiest ways to get a referral is to do a favour for a friend and ask them to sign up in return. That way, you both can get a free gift!

Basic rules
Don't break these rules! This is the only reason that you won't get your free gift, so make sure you follow these rules!

- One account per household - don't use a public computer to sign up!
- Use real information - this is a proven legitimate site and they will not give out your information.
- Only complete each offer once! You cannot complete the same offer again, even for different freebies.
- Don't try to cheat the system. This site has been proven legitimate, and they will catch you if you try to cheat. If you do everything legitimately, by following this guide, you will get a free gift!

Thats all, just follow my guide and you will have your free gift in no time.
