Pre-Release Review of the KickStart!!
 

Kevin is on a role lately! Hopefully this one is a little more legitimate than his last pre-release phone! Enjoy!

BlackBerry Kickstart 8220 Hands-On Hardware Review | CrackBerry.com

I am getting more and more excited for this phone. I can't wait to see one in person - might change my mind about getting a Pearl.

My wife and 13 yr old daughter want this phone. It's not the device for many of us but when people go into the store looking at cell phones this one is going to move fast.

Yup, its gonna sell a lot. You guys have no idea how many people ask about a "flip" blackberry, even though is a clamshell lol. Def not for me, but its gonna sell BIGTIME. Its for a different demograhic. And look at the supposed release date, september, back to school anybody??

finally my father can satisfy my 14yr old sister. All she wants is the curve like me and my brother but all she wants to do is text on the qwerty keypad. hopefully this will shut her up!

And this device will move even more units if the rumored $50 price tag applies.

yeah it's a very nice phone sometimes i do miss having a flip phone but a blackberry flip now that's what i'm talking about :smile:

My wife wants one too. But only if it's pink.

and btw, according to crackberry or some blackberry addict source, it's gonna sell for 49.99 with contract and what not, so it'll definitely sell well, i assume

my question is... Pearl candybar formfactor...dead?

John Clark in another thread seems to think not...and that some one at rogers got a little goofy with the naming convention....that being that the 8100 class will still be around
