Crackberry just beat the rest of the pack by releasing their exclusive hands-on review on the yet to be released Blackberry Kickstart 8220.

Making its mark as the first flip phone from the company, the Kickstart seems to live up to the reputation of being a Blackberry device despite the change in form factor. It’s got Wi-Fi, a 2-megapixel camera, 3.5mm headset jack, microSD card slot, a 240×320 internal LCD, a 160×128 external display, and runs on OS 4.6. Unlike the other new release from Blackberry, this one doesn’t come with 3G.

However, as a result of the change in design, it does provide users with a relatively bigger keyboard, and even though it does look a bit on the hefty side, when compared side-by-side with other current clamshells in the market, it pretty much holds its own in the aesthetics department.

A rumored September release date for T-Mobile is circulating around the net with a too-good-to-be-true sub $50 tag price.
