Rim's BlackBerry 8820 lands at Orange UK

We've had this handset pegged for AT&T for ages, but the first operator to get it out the door is Orange UK. Orange will take advantage of the WiFi UMA angle by offering business customers access to its Unique service. Like a similar offering from T-Mobile on this side of the ocean, the 8820 can switch seamlessly between GSM and IP voice services using a provider's Internet access point. No word on pricing yet, but we're expecting that coming soon logo on the Orange 8820 page should be disappearing any time soon. Here's hoping that T-Mobile also considers this handset to boost it strong pitiful UMA handset lineup over here.
