What is it: Clamshell BlackBerry email phone
What we think: It's well designed, but it lacks 3G and some may find it chunky

We like:
Wi-Fi; 3.5mm headphone jack is a bonus
We don't like:
Lack of 3G; camera could be better
CNET UK judgement:
RIM's attempt at cramming the BlackBerry into a clamshell isn't bad. At first we thought we wouldn't like it much, but after using the Flip for some time we realised it's actually very usable and performs well. Our only disappointments are that it doesn't have 3G and the camera isn't great
