They must employ kids to design their products.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/28/blackberry-8700-is-for-realz/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/28/blackberry-8700-is-for-realz/
Also, is this using that Intel chipset that RIM just announced they'd be using in the next generation of Blackberries?]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/28/blackberry-8700-is-for-realz/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/28/blackberry-8700-is-for-realz/
Now I can have one cable for phone, camera etc. I can also bring one cable when I travel.

I have given the bberry 3 tries, and everytime I really enjoyed it. Its got everything, even all the way down to having the best clip/holster EVAR. The only thing it lacked for me is the way it handles attatchments, the browser, and its lack of "fun". (Im sorry, "Brick Attack" is friggin lame! I dont care how bored you are, its sucks).

If this model handles attatchments better, and has a html browser instead of WAP, Im probably going to give this a shot. But that'll probably last for only a few weeks until I come across something really bad ass happening in the streets of NYC, like a bum doing handstands on the hood of a cab, and Id want to take a pic of it but cant.

C'mon RIM, how's about once, just once, making a model with and without camera option. Its in this tiny area alone that keeps the treo 700 (in MY eyes) looking better and better.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/28/blackberry-8700-is-for-realz/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/28/blackberry-8700-is-for-realz/Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/28/blackberry-8700-is-for-realz/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/28/blackberry-8700-is-for-realz/
Anywho, my 2 Cents.

Adios,

Word. So...coming out in Jan 14th, and spending my bonus on a 8700, 3 batteries, a new bluetooth headset, 2 holsters and a pack of Skittles sounds ideal to me.
And praise the GODS at RIM/Blackberry who didn't include a CAMERA. THANK YOU!
I'll be working in gov/mil circles and ANY cameraphone is a no-no; "24" is not real. You cannot enter secure isntallations with a Sanyo Sprint picture phone.

Any word if this is GSM or not? Ah, I am SO HAPPY!! Three cheers for RIM!]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/28/blackberry-8700-is-for-realz/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/28/blackberry-8700-is-for-realz/

For your info, since this BB supports EDGE. You will get 80-110kbits/s compared with 30-40kbits/s on GPRS.
TMO network is 90%+ on EDGE.

a huge plus is that the 8700 has not crashed, unlike my treo which might crash 5+ times a week over the last year...and yes i had it replaced 3 times during that period.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/28/blackberry-8700-is-for-realz/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/28/blackberry-8700-is-for-realz/Dec 19th 2005 1:25AM
