In a bout of good timing, the FCC filings for the recently-announced flip BlackBerry have been made available. Not much to be said, unless you’re a hardcore tech-head, but the testing did include the BlackBerry 8210, which will have the same kind of assisted GPS technology as in the BlackBerry Bold. Hopefully it won’t take too much longer for the 8210 to come out after its Wi-Fi cousin, the BlackBerry 8220. In terms dating, the test were started in  July, around the same time we saw the first video reviews of the device.
