This is news? Well.... I guess

BoyGenius Reports and other sites have been reporting on this model since April. I suppose it's news now that it's "official" and it looks like a cool little "entry smart phone" if I ever saw one.

At least it and the X1 are confirmed to have the AWS bandwidth so here in Oregon we should get T-Mobile's 3G around 2015. 🤣
Just in time for Sprint to move to 5g??

Well

Let me guess, 8210 goes to ATT, 8220 goes to T-Mobile.
T-Mobile is suppose to get this by end of month in september.

and, is it just me or does it like just like the Samsung T719? (which was a huge letdown)
Yeah the T719 was a huge letdown because it looked like crap and looked giant. I think this new blackberry will be pretty popular. Especailly with teenagers who want the flip and a keyboard for texting.

BORING

Let me guess, TM gets this thing? A bit letdown after the Bold.

And what? No 3g?
Not previously announced? Isn't this just a renamed Kickstart?

A Blackberry flip is big news. Will be one of the hot phones this fall. America is nuts about flip phones & smartphones. Kind of harkens back to the days of the Moto MP 200 & 220, excep...

i wonder if tmobile will get the wi-fi version?
If you go to the webpage that it is listed on, and click on the picture to enlarge it, you can see at the top of the phone screen it says T-Mobile.

Not Quite

"The 8200 series contains the same features as Research In Motion's Pearl 8100 series"


Not really. Maybee the Pearl 2 when it comes to features.

The 8200 has a brand new operating system, higher end features, and the build of the phone is completely different, obviously.
