BlackBerry 8100 cameraphone! Stealth revealed!

The stealthy BlackBerry Stealth slinks behind the scenes no more. It's the BlackBerry 8100 and it's got a camera, microSD slot, EDGE data, and media playback functionality -- just like we'd expected (so where's the damn WiFi?). This should be due in November on Cingular (no guarantees), but something tells us to expect an even earlier launch on T-Mo. Perhaps it's the T-Mo branding. We can't tell you much else as of right now, but big ups to Random Asian Dude for the hookup. Click on for a bunch more pics.

Sheesh, what a bunch of tech nerds here. "DUUUHHH, I'm not touching that with a 10ft pole"..."DAAAAHHH, I love my Treo". It's a phone people, a new phone for RIM that's not even out yet. To the SureType haters, if you can't type a sentence in your 71xx BB, then you need to stop using cell phones. I have never had a problem with typing on my 7100t, in fact I type faster on it than on my friend's baby-finger Treo keyboard.

It will be realeased on the 12th of september, the t-mobile retail stores already have the dummy versions, so they can get to know the phone and be able to answer all your questions.

I can personally say I saw this phone yesterday at a Chicagoland T-Mobile store. It was not for sale but a T-Mobile employee was using it/testing it for T-Mobile. He said they should be out @ T-Mobile before the end of the year. It is really cool looking; certainly better than the 7105 of which we have returned most in our office since the voice quality is crap. I still like the 8700 with full keyboard.

Does anyone know if Verizon is going to carry the Pearl?
