RIM & T-Mobile announce first ever flip phone BlackBerry Pearl 8220 (USA)

BlackBerry launches it’s very first flip phone. Research In Motion announces BlackBerry Pearl 8220 available with T-Mobile, for which specific date or price hasn’t been announced.
This phone’s fits better for T-Mobile rather than AT&T, as the phone is enabled with EDGE and Wi-Fi on a slightly older, and thus less expensive, platform than the 3G BlackBerry Bold. T-Mobile pushes Wi-Fi calling, hasn’t fully rolled out 3G, and likes less-expensive phones than AT&T does.
