Blackberry Pearl 8220 - Blackberry's First Flip Phone
Blackberry smartphones have followed a very set design over the years, the Curve editions are always slightly wider in girth but slim whereas the Pearl range is the closest a Blackberry phone comes to looking like a regular mobile device.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.

i bought the pearl 8220 a month or 2 ago. for a week it was fine, no SOS messages. the 1st day i bought it i put my old sim card from my other phone into it and it said invalid sim. so thinking it was my sim i went to tmobile replacing it. a week later i got sim card errors and sos messages. im sick of this phone & i dont know what to do. i put a piece of plastic behind the simcard to push it down and lock it in place & im hoping i dont get any more errors or SOS messages. this is my 4th phone in 3 months because all the phones ive been purchasing from tmobile are garbage and have some manufacturer defect & they tell me i have to just buy another phone. tmobile is garbage along with their policy.8220 Pearl stinks and so does T-Mobile
T-Mobile and Blackberry flip 8220 suck. Ever since I got the phone and hotspot router I have had to call about once a week for the 9 months I have had poor service. SOS all the time and having the phone 3 feet away from my T mobile Blue light on router and it says out of service.After all this time finally a rep said the blackberry is like a computer and needs the battery removed atleast once a week to reset - not just turned on and off. My PC is 8 years old and only gets turned on and off and works fine - suffice it to say they could have told me this 9 months ago or better yet before I signed up so I could have said FO and gone back to Verizon or anyone.
