  • Nice

  • Hii does Blackberry 8230 Pearl Flip Verizon Page Plus PagePlus CDMA Smartphone 3G works in india, with indian carriers..

  • does it support for gsm network too.........

  • where do i get pearl 8220

  • freezes more often than not. adding contacts takes 5+min. many keys just stop working.

  • it is very nice phone love it!! black berry is the best ^_^ hope you can provide the amount..and wish it will be a little bit lower price..^_^ soon..but never the less GOOD one GOOD JOB ^_^

  • can someone please say if there is some sort of redress pertaining to how useless this phone was.........

  • Everyone who says this phone sucks must have the 8220 and not the 8230. I have had both, the 8220 is a piece of crap, it lags all the time. 8230 is a huge difference, and my battery life can go up to almost 3 days. You all probably treat your phone like crap.

  • da worst phone i ever came across please discontinue this phone

  • bluetooth stopped working jus in a week.... very worst cel ever found.... signal l not be der at any time.... no cam clrity.... everything is worse....pls don buy did model....better don go for bb....

  • No it isn´t better, this model doesn´t need wifi because of 3g capabilities with a download speed of 3.1Mbps plus it has built in Assisted gps (aGPS) which can track possition in less than 12 seconds. camera functions include Geo track which 8220 doesn´t allow.. Besides that CDMA technology allows encrypted channels for every call or data transfer made from the phone.

  • this phone is wack, blue tooth stopped working within weeks, really bad battery life

  • ur hopefully wrong cuz bb 8220 is so much better cuz it has wi-fi and a better camera and better battery life and more sleek and styleish and the blu tooth works much moreb better so BUY BB 8220 PLEAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!

  • I also bought my phone in Trinidad...Bluetooth ceased working...battery life is drained in a few hours...I have to charge it three times a day. Here's hoping BB improves this model...cause it is so cool to have a flip BB.

  • i bought this phone before 3 months its really a bad bad phone.no battery back up.bluetoth stop worknig an wifi also.please dont buy this phone.piss off

  • it is too expensive i canceled with servise after 6 mounth

  • BB 8220 it's defined by only one word = bbbbaaaddd batery life, BB 8230 is improved on this?, please comment
