Resurrect the 8200 Flip keypad ?

[17chrisw]

Although the 8200 was not a very good phone, the keypad is unmatched for anyone with slightly large fingers. I have tried the new Pearl 9100 but unfortunately cannot type with my pinkies. Is there any chance we will see this suretype keypad in a new phone?

Ummm...probably not. RIM is always looking for new ideas. If you want a large keypad, you should go for the Bold 9000.

I"d love to see a pearl "mini-slider" something like the LG GU295 Cell Phone - Wireless from AT&T or the Samsung a777 Cell Phone - Wireless from AT&T but with the Pearl keyboard, but i don't think RIM sees the need for a smaller form factor phone.
