T-Mobile gets exclusive distribution of one of the most-talked smart phone since the iPhone 3G. T-Mobile will be the sole distributor of the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8820 in key areas and cities in Europe and the United States.

Among the new Blackberry phone’s amazing feature is the Enhanced SureType keyboard that is perfect for texting and email. There is also a built-in WiFi that allows users to surf the internet and connect to T-Mobile’s Unlimited Hotspot.

The camera sports a 2-megapixel camera. It has digital zoom, flash and video recording capability. Because Pearl’s camera got a video recording option and a flash function, hardcore users see it better than iPhone (at least on this particular aspect).

The gadget can use a microSD card. It has a stand alone built-in memory of 128MB. Users can opt to upgrade Pearl’s memory thru microSD. There are options up to 16GB capacity.

The new phone is tagged at $349.99 thru T-Mobile. It will soon be slashed to $149.99 after the rebates, $50 lower than the priced 8GB iPhone.
