RIM has announced it's first Clamshell which is officially dubbed the 'BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8820'. The phone features EDGE, Bluetooth 2.0, 3.5 mm headphone jack, Sure Type Qwerty Keypad and internal as well as external LCD Screens. Other useful features include Voice Activated Dialling (VAD), MP3 ring tones, Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint editing directly on the handset and support for BlackBerry Media Sync which let's BlackBerry owners sync their handsets with iTunes just like iPhone does. Prominent omissions include absence of 3G & GPS and presence of just 2 Mega Pixel Camera. Overall it's a decent attempt if you consider that this is RIM's first Clamshell Handset. Hope their first Touch Screen attempt Thunder/Storm is better.
