RIMshot of BlackBerry’s First Flip Phone

By Kate Crowley

BlackBerry Kickstart

Oh dear… BlackBerry’s first foray into the world of flip phones doesn’t appear to be all that successful. Their creation, codenamed Kickstart, is reminiscent of the Razr in its design. The inside looks similar to the Pearl, with its trackball and SureType keyboard (i.e. not full Qwerty). Quite why this phone was made is unclear. Is there much demand for a clunky-looking clamshell BlackBerry? A more important question might be, were these photos taken in a public toilet?
