The first flip phone from Blackberry, the 8220, is up for sale on the T-Mobile web site. Aside from the flip form factor and 2 MP camera, this phone is notable for offering Wi-Fi and access to T-Mobile’s Hotspot at Home. This innovative service allows you to make calls over the Internet without any extra fee (it uses your regular plan minutes). T-Mobile also offers unlimited add-ons for $10 that allow you to use unlimited Internet calling from any Wi-Fi hotspot (Tip: You can use this overseas to avoid roaming charges and you do not need a special T-Mobile plan for it to use regular T-Mobile voice minutes).
