Another lazy Sunday? I sure hope so, now that you can spend part of it looking at pics of the latest unboxing to hit/bore the Internet, that of the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220.

As for the phone itself, BGR hates on it pretty thoroughly, going so far as to call the display the “worst [one] we’ve seen on a BlackBerry since… well, a long time.”

Is this what it sounds like when doves cry?

Research in Motion will officially unveil the BlackBerry 8220 at a CTIA trade show, which starts tomorrow.

Did you know that this new BlackBerry is a flip phone? That’s sorta unexpected from prim and proper RIM.

CrackBerry already has a pre-release model, and this video gives a brief overview of some of the smartphone’s key features. What’s unknown, though, are pesky things like price and release date.

The BlackBerry 8220, something of a Pearl successor (in spirit?), will first be on T-Mobile in the U.S., according to previous rumblings in this space.
