RIM rolls out UMTS BlackBerry 8707g
Yes, it's a repackaged 8707v -- which is in turn a repackaged 8700 series with UMTS thrown in -- but let's face it, UMTS BlackBerrys still aren't the easiest devices to come by. We don't know where all this 8707g variant will be launching, but an early customer will be Austraila's Optus, which intends to drop the device Down Under in the next few days. Besides the quad-band GSM and UMTS 2100 radios, the device includes the usual 320 x 240 display, Bluetooth, 64MB of ROM, and 16MB of RAM. What, no camera?[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.
