Blackberry today has taken the wraps off their flip phone 8220. This phone is an ancestor of the popular Blackberry Pearl series and sports similar features and adds an external screen to view incoming caller information without having to open your Berry. This most interesting feature of this model, which is expected to first debut in the USA on carrier T-Mobile, is the UMA capabilities. This means that with T-Mobile’s service you’ll be able to make calls over Wi-Fi at no extra cost (beyond regular airtime minutes) or for a slight additional fee you can get unlimited Wi-Fi UMA calling.
