Vodafone gets charmed by RIM's BlackBerry 7100v
And wouldn't you know? European wireless carrier Vodafone gets its own version of Research In Motion's new more cellphone-like BlackBerry that uses the same type of predictive-text keyboard as the one T-Mobile is carrying here in the States (where they put two letters on every key rather than trying to squeeze in a full QWERTY layout), but looks completely different (read: less fugly) than the 7100t. The 7100v (guess what the "v" stands for?) is otherwise about the same as the 7100t; it has the same built-in Bluetooth, 65,000 color screen, and quad-band GSM/GPRS, and fortunately no other significant extras that might cause some major jealousy, like a built-in digital camera or a memory card slot.
