Category: Apps | Apr 08, 2011 |
My Review on the Verizon Wireless RIM Blackberry Flip 8230. The phone is used which I had bought today (4/4/2010) Contents in the box are Phone, Battery, USB cable, Travel Charger, VZ Access, Blackberry Software, 3.5mm Stereo Headset, and quick reference guide. Thanks For Watching! Have any questions let me know.
This phone is for virgin mobile and has alot of great features and is a pretty good phone over-all. 1.3 mp camera gps and3g CDMA internet. If you want me to review anything weather an app for iphone or a product, let me send me a personal message.
@queenbeeheather I don’t really remember since I didn’t use that feature, but most like it should have since it’s not too old. Not sure though. Sorry I couldn’t help you.
Does it have BBM
@achvoy Haha No problem. Thanks for you comment!
You’re the only person who mentioned the light sensor in phone! Thanks!
@TypicalB18 Welcome!! Thanks so much for the help! I’m planning on adding a data plan to it anyway. Best wishes, LamborghiniBMWftw.
@LamborghiniBMWftw No Problem, well hope you get a good deal considering it’s about a year or two old. Also just letting you know if you didn’t know when activating through Verizon Wireless you will be required to ad a Data plan. I had just checked they only require a minimum of a $15 data plan for Blackberries & Android Phones. About a couple months ago it was about $30. Well good luck with the phone if you get it. Thanks!
@TypicalB18 Hello! Thanks so much for the help. I’m probably going to be buying this new or refurbished.
@LamborghiniBMWftw Hi,well personally I don’t like predictive text, but it works fine but sometimes it can’t seem to get the word you’re trying to type. Since I bought this phone used the battery didn’t perform at full potential. It would last about a week on stand by which is pretty normal compared to other phones, but I don’t know about fully usage on the phone. I rarely used the internet on the phone so I can’t tell you much. Are you buying this new or used? Hope it helped a little.
I need a response ASAP. I’m probably getting this phone. Any Cons? Is the keyboard not good at predicting text? How much battery life? Is the internet decently fast? Does it CONSTANTLY freeze? This are questions I need answered. Think. I’ll be having this phone for two years. No one else has helped me so far. HELP ASAP! Thanks in advance
@DarkVolta84 Nope, once you activate the phone you will be required to sign a Data plan starting from $30 – $45. There is no way of getting out of it since you can only activate it through Verizon by phone, web, or store. You might get out of it if you have a GSM version. I have asked why they do this Salesperson says Verizon signed a contract with Blackberry (RIM) saying that a customers must have a Data plan with any Blackberry no matter how old or new.
Would you be able to use the phone solely as a phone? Lets say i don’t want to use the internet or text, would it be possible to use it only as a phone alone?
@totalheatherfan Well Blackberries always require Data plans not matter how old or new it is. So I had no chance to keep it and had to let it go. I made a fine profit on it though.
Y did u get rid of ths phone
picture messaging is included in the plans and i’m not sure what the frame was. Check out my newest review if you wanna save up some cash because the phone i have now is even better
Thanks so much for this review. It has sealed the deal for me and made me want to buy this phone. You didn’t go too in depth which was good but you showed the quality of the phone which is pretty mush all that matters to me.The only thing i thought was weird was that the phone was when u were in camera mode why did it have a frame? Do pictures have the frame? and are picture messages free on virgin mobiles plan? but other than those questions this was a great review.
@NOWAdwaltz can u receive sound messages from friends?
no this phone does not have wifi and virgin mobile blocks ringtone downloads for this phone. Thanks for watchin everyone and check out my review of the lg rumor touch i recently posted
