BlackBerry has a new phone release in the USA

Columbus Day finds a T-Mobile-BlackBerry announcement with the introduction of the BlackBerry(R) Pearl(TM) Flip 8220 smartphone.

T-Mobile is the carrier of note of the 8220 and adopters should check with T-Mobile for pricing of the 8220 unit and for price plans.

This is the first, second generation(2G) smartphone being introduced into the United States, with more set to follow in the near future.

In keeping with this forum, 10%+ of computer users are, today, users of Apple Macintosh computers and the need for RIM to have true MAC user accessibility is imperative.

While RIM has alluded to Apple support in 2009 that could be as long as 14 months away.
