Research In Motion has just stepped away from the usual format of their BlackBerry handsets and produced the first Blackberry flip, the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 flip.

The guys over at Engadget have given the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 flip the once over and this is what they think…

The BlackBerry Pearl 8220 flip is simply awkward or even fairly enormous and it would be hard to flip the device open on say some crowded public transport without it possible causing a fight and has a completely flush keypad.

The only real thing going for it is it is an interesting alternative to the BlackBerry’s more standard format.
