Thinking about selling the two Alltel 8130s I have and buying an Alltel 8230, having a flip version of the pearl would be so much nicer...plus the phone looks pretty cool, and has v4.6 OS which I imagine is a good thing?

Anyways, I was wondering where I could find full specs on the phone/software to help me decide if this is a switch I want to make. I love my 8130, so I don't really want to make any substantial sacrifices by switching to the Flip.

Some questions in particular that I have;

Is the screen/theme layout about the same as a Pearl? I love my L theme, and don't think I could end up liking any other theme/layout style.

Is there more internal memory with the Flip compared to the Pearl, or the same? I really hope RIM took note of all the 'low internal memory hate comments' and fixed that with this Flip.

Were there any huge changes between the pearl and the flip, apart from the ability to flip open, that could be considered bad?

The Alltel version of the Flip has the CMDA 1X RTT/EVDO Rev 0 technology...would this be the same as my current 1-year old amethtyst pearl or better? Which one is better, Rev 0 or Rev A? I get decent 1XEV reception at this time, and decent data bandwidth(anywhere from 450kbps to 750kbps), but better would be nicer.

Hearing some opinions from Flip owners that previously switched up from a Pearl would be awesome. Thanks!
