Best Buy to Get Stocked With BB Pearl Flips and the G1

GeekSugar — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:00:14 -0700

There's not only one new handset rumored to be making its way to Best Buy on October 26, but two! The festive red BlackBerry 8200 Pearl Flip will be available to purchase on the 26, and the sold out HTC G1 will be arriving in Best Buy stores on the 26, but will make its big retail debut on November 16.

It is also rumored that you'll be able to pick up an unlocked Palm Treo Pro on October 26 as well.

If all these rumors are true, talk about a big day for Best Buy. Since Best Buy is now selling the
iPhone 3G, there really isn't a handset that would shock me if they got it in stock.

Do You Still Like Flip Phones?

GeekSugar — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 07:30:37 -0700

When I was in college, all I wanted was a flip phone. I didn't get a cell phone until my senior year, and being a student who could barely afford my voice plan, I took the free-with-service Nokia phone. It was a great little phone, but I just drooled over the fancy flip phones that some of my friends had. I have no idea why I thought they were so cool, but I was like Romy in Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion: "Ooh! A flip phone!"

Now it seems mobile phone design has moved away from the flip and back to a full body design that can accommodate a touchscreen or a keyboard (like the iPhone or the BlackBerry Curve), so I'm wondering if people are still into the flip body style enough (like Sarah Jessica Parker) to muster excitement for the new BlackBerry Pearl 8220 and the LG Lotus, both of which flip. I'm kind of over them - I've got an iPhone and a Curve - but think that these flip designs are more innovative than previous ones, and could bring in the second wave of cool flip phones. Tell me where you stand!

Similar to my desktop wallpaper, I like to keep my BlackBerry's wallpaper beautiful as well. What is currently adorning my BB's screen? A beautiful floral design wallpaper from the Kindred website which I manually resized to fit my screen perfectly.

But now I have even more lovely designs to choose from, thanks to Jonathan Adler's latest selection of free PDA wallpapers, which are easy to download and perfectly sized to fit the iPhone, the Palm Pre, the BlackBerry Bold, the BlackBerry Curve, the BlackBerry Flip and the BlackBerry Pearl.
