We'll be honest --
KickStart just had a nicer ring to it, but we suppose Pearl Flip will do. RIM's long-awaited (and
not-at-all veiled) BlackBerry flip phone has finally arrived, weighing just 3.6-ounces and boasting a 320 x 240 internal display, Bluetooth 2.0, built-in multimedia player, 802.11b/g WiFi and a SureType keypad. The battery promises four hours of talk time / over a fortnight of standby life, and while pricing and exact release details are still hush-hush, Americans can count on seeing it "this fall"
exclusively on T-Mobile. In related news, RIM also announced support for AIM / ICQ on all BlackBerry smartphones, though it's only available for USers at the moment. Feast your eyes on the links below for more, more, more.

it tells me my phone doesn't support AIM when i try to download it to my curve...maybe it's because i have 4.5? and it hasn't officially been launched in the states?
My T-Mobile rep said he was heading to NYC in a couple weeks to check out the new Pearl Flip 8220.
He also said that the new 8100 device OS will be released in October. But then again, in July he said it was being released in late August.
So my question: Did they hold off releasing the new 8100 OS to entice people to upgrade to the Flip or just coincidence??
what carrier sells this fone?
If i purchase the curve or pearl now, will T-mobile release the patch to update the OS?
