What's the difference between the Pearl 8130 and the Flip?
- I also posted this in the Pearl 8130 board, but thought I might get different opinions here. Sorry if I'm trolling....
I am in the market for a new Blackberry... I know there are better models than both of these, but I need a small one (I hate big phones).
I was chatting with a rep the other day and he told me the new Pearl has the updated OS and the 8130 doesn't.
Is that the only difference (aside from the fact that one is a clamshell)? And which would I be better off getting in your opinion?
I can get the 8130 for free, or the Flip for $49.99.08-01-09 11:36 AMLike 0 - I also posted this in the Pearl 8130 board, but thought I might get different opinions here. Sorry if I'm trolling....

8130 has 3g but no wifi ,8220 has wifi no 3g.08-01-09 12:29 PMLike 0 - The flip doesn't have 3g. The biggest difference is the wifi and the fact that the phone flips? Personally, I'd choose the 8130...The flip feels really uncomfortable typing. It feels like the buttons are too flat and almost inverted, but not quite.08-02-09 12:27 AMLike 0

And to me, the Flip is the most comfortable Blackberry i've typed on; but that only proves one thing. Keyboards are a VERY subjective thing. All I know is, the buttons are huge.08-02-09 10:11 AMLike 0 - 128 mb memory , external display screen with message preview and it flips so easy to put in a pocket and forget about it.08-02-09 11:13 AMLike 0
