No guts, no glory – BlackBerry 8220 Pearl tear-down
You know what they say – “No guts, no glory.” Or was it “don’t hate the playa, hate the game?” Whatever the appropriate saying might be, there’s no denying that a hot new handset isn’t officially inaugurated into the mobile world without a proper hardware tear-down.
