Video: Blackberry KickStart 8220 flip

by Thomas Ricker posted Jul 30th 2008 at 5:05AM

Sure, you've read the KickStart 8220 preview and seen plenty of snaps, but video is still the only way to demonstrate some features of a device. Especially when it's not yet available in shops. Fortunately, Kevin Michaluk over at CrackBerry put together almost 9-minutes of moving pictures demonstrating two-handed Suretype thumbing, the 8220's more deeply inset trackball, and slick OS 4.6 action. He even went head-to-head with the iPhone 3G to demonstrate the KickStart's Internet browser. But enough with the words eh, video after the break.

This is a really nice phone and great video. I use the 8800, and I think Blackberry will do really well with this one.

As soon as he described the BlackBerry logo as "pimpin'" a small part of me died inside...

When going to fullscreen video playback, does it rotate, or just get rid of the player body like with the Pearl? I hope it rotates to fill the entire screen...

When a nice CDMA flavor comes out, I will happily trade in my Curve for that.
