We brought you first impressions of RIM’s new clamshell, the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220, earlier in the month, and whether you think it’s an unnecessary gimmick or design god, it’s out in the UK for you to make up your mind.

The QVGA, WiFi enabled flipper is an O2 exclusive, and while not quite as exciting as Vodafone’s touchscreen BlackBerry Storm, could still prove useful for business users with limited trouser space.

Bluetooth, the famous BlackBerry keyboard and a two megapixel camera are all included, but inexplicably, it’s not got 3G, meaning emails with attachments will become the bane of your existence.
