surprisingly music-friendly ; external play/pause button ; stereo bluetooth, standard headphone jack ; UMA capable ; unique form factor ; slick new BB interface ; more compact than other BlackBerries ; still has the BB office apps that keep executives ...

no GPS ; weak web browsing ; some lag here and there

The BlackBerry Pearl Flip is the first BB I really had a desire to play with. It's much more friendly to mainstream markets than previous Berries, and I think the new form factor will garner some new adherents.
