Sim Free BlackBerry 8220 Pearl

I wanted a replacement to the 8110 that used for personal use so bear in mind that this doesn't get the use and abuse that my work 8110 gets and liked the idea of a flip phone I bought it from Mobile Fun and received the usual efficient service and delivery First impressions were good and not much has changed with that view in the 5 or 6 months since I've had the handset It s a flip pearl But the flip provides a few interesting enhancements to the 8110 Most noticeable is the media player all of the basic functions for getting music to play are easily accessed Before long you won t even need to take the phone out of your pocket to drive the player Secondly the small outer screen does a good job of being able to get a summary of what s happening music tracks who s calling first couple of lines from the SMS or e mail that just came in None of these will save your life but they will come in handy from time to time I don't use the wifi so can't comment. Battery life is OK.

Had this phone a few months now. I keep getting an 'application error 200' for no reason and the phone freezes and you dont know it has so you miss calls. Also had battery disconnect itself and only reconnected on removal and refit. BUT I like the phone as it does what I need and the software in general is very good. Shame I cant get rid of the application error and the construction is suspect with the battery contacts loosing connection./
