T-Mobile’s BlackBerry Pearl 8220 gets unboxed

October 06th, 2008 | Category: Gadgets

There’s no telling what sort of crazy behind-the-scenes negotiations had to take place in order for our good friend Boy Genius to get his hands on the very first retail T-Mobile-branded BlackBerry 8220 we’ve seen in the wild — and let’s be honest, the whole unboxing takes on a sexier tone when there’s an element of intrigue to it, doesn’t it? Mr. Genius flatly pans the thing for having a pair of terrible screens and a prototype feel (despite the fact that he’s got a final production unit),

so odds are the Bold owners out there aren’t going to be throwing fits of jealousy any duration soon. To top it off, the contents of the box are about as exciting as flannel underwear (we guess it’s cool that RIM saw fit to throw in a pair of headphones), so don’t expect too much. At least it’ll be available in a few colors, right?
