Sick.
I'd call it disgusting myself. Whoever came up with the idea for a "flip-phone" should be beaten
Dude that is SWEET looking!!!! WTH did THAT come from???? OMG that is sick!!!! MUST KNOW MORE!!!
i love how this shot was clearly sneaked in some bathroom somewhere. Gotta love BGR!!!!!
I'm not a big fan of Blackberries but that is one tight flip phone. I wonder if Sprint will get it?
a year after at&t gets it...so be ready for it in 2010!
This would get me into a BlackBerry. I've wanted one for a while, but the flip of my SonyEricsson has always gotten me (I have yet to dial somebody accidentally from a closed phone in my pocket).
Somehow... the screen part reminds me of the RAZR slightly. It looks pretty hot for a Blackberry. Wonder if its GSM or CDMA and if it has 3G or not.
Me gusta mucho!!
Friggin... WANT!!! NOW!!!
yeah...i'm a mobile lover...can any one let me know is there is any new model in market of black berry...and also i want to sell my phone or go for phone recycling my old mobiles..I heard some sites give enough money for mobile recycling...If that's true i would love to recycle my old mobiles also a good way to save the environment...!
WWWWWWOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!! thats incredible!! i'll give you $500!!!!! GGGGIIIVVVVEEEE ITITITITITIT TTTOOOOO MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
o wait. i'm with NEXTEL! i havea powersource phone, which is all i can have until sprint actually makes us swap to sprint phones.............*tears*
I came.
ur n95 in ur picture feels cheated on. wants a divorce
it looks like a pearl mixed with a lg vx8700.. i likes it tho
If there is a God in heaven, T-Mobile will snatch this up and offer it in the US.
Please T-Mobile, please!
looks like a razr with more buttons, as do almost all flipphones now adays.
This IS NOT the First BLACKBERRY FLIP, however This is THE FIRST RIM MANUFACTURED FLIP! Original BLACKBERRY FLIP (SAMSUNG T719)
add the nokia 9300 as well. may have also hit before the sammy.
this thing is definitely sweet. they are going to sell millions. but i would just feel like im wasting a screen/paying for one i dont need. why view something on the outside then flip it open just to see the same thing on the inside + have access to the keyboard? seems like a slider would make more sense. this is what kept me from getting a v9. so now the z9 makes more sense to me. but im not getting that either with the iphone2 so potentially close. (not an apple fanboy. didnt get iphone1. but 2 seems likely)
