I had the opportunity to test drive a T-Mobile 8220 Flip BlackBerry the last few days and wanted to pass along my impressions, some facts and some opinions (take them with a grain of salt and a lemon wedge, if you wish).

Jai from Syco Tec Solutions has posted photos of the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 being disassembled. I noticed the disassembled phone had a pre-release sticker on it so it was probably useless anyway. Go check all the photos out via the below link.

Well, it appears that BGR has managed to get their hands on a pre-release T-Mobile Pearl 8220, and posted some unboxing shots of it. Seems BGR thinks of the device as a B+ only because of its target market, and finds it to be a complete dissapointment as a BlackBerry ...

BlackBerryCool is reporting "Italian carrier TIM is the first to release the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220, RIM’s first flip phone.
