NTT DoCoMo to get 3G-enabled BlackBerry 8707h
Making good on its commitment to bring some of that thumb-killing, Canadian love to Japanese shores, NTT DoCoMo has announced the BlackBerry 8707h this week. Those familiar with other 8707 variants won't find any surprises here -- you basically get a classic 8700 with a little 3G thrown in to sweeten the deal. Perhaps more importantly for NTT DoCoMo customers, however, the 8707h is a global phone (as its label clearly indicates) with quad-band GSM on board. Look for it to grace NTT DoCoMo's B2B shelves starting September 26.[Via PinStack]
Das BlackBerry 8707v now available on Vodafone Germany
If it's not the South Koreans or the Japanese having all the fun, it's those crazy Germans, what with their Autobahn, Oktoberfest, and now the BlackBerry 8707v. In releasing RIM's first UMTS device, Vodafone is upstaging T-Mobile Germany on its home turf, having just released the more pedestrian EDGE-only 8700g earlier this year. Besides the addition of UMTS 2100 and a fresh look, users will barely notice the difference between the two device's spec sheets: both come equipped with quad-band GSM, a 320x240 display, and 64MB of onboard flash. Some select 8707v pr0n after the break.
