Closing Thoughts
The Pearl Flip was a pretty awesome BlackBerry and I was hoping the Style would be a huge leap from that device. The external display is just as limited on the Style as it was on the Flip and this is an area where the engineers either got lazy or lack creativity. The form factor is ugly and the device is sort of awkward to hold.
On the other hand, lots of users out there are going to appreciate the flip form factor and with a full QWERTY keyboard integrated with BlackBerry 6, this is as powerful as clamshell communication devices come. I wouldn’t recommend this to a long time BlackBerry user, but if you’re going for something in the flip form factor, this is a really great option.
