This is a model that has virtually everything that Crackberry addicts have been waiting for: WiFi, UMA, and GPS. However there seems to be rumors out there that is only coming to the UK, this of course makes no sense as European networks have no idea what Edge is as they have had 3G longer than we’ve had GSM.

Some might point to the fact that this device has no camera but I for one applaud the efforts to not have yet another bad camera added to a great multi-functional device. Blackberry devices are great for email, browsing, opening attachments, texting, and for having great signal footprints and this device seems to be no different in that regard but with the addition of UDA which allows for seamless WiFi to Cellular transfer along with the GPS capabilities this just might be the perfect mobile office. Of course we hope that the data gets upgraded to UMTS in the next model however with RIM’s seemingly novel approach of actually listening to their customers this should happen soon enough.

This will seemingly launch with AT&T even though it seems to fit perfectly with T-Mobile’s @Home service.

    Very nice, any idea on pricing?

    My guess is that it will be right there with the BlackBerry Curve, which is going for $199 through AT&T. No reason to think it would more expensive as the camera has been removed and the feature set is pretty much the same.

    BlackBerry Curve Price $449.99
    2-yr Contract Price $299.99
    Mail-in Rebate Card -$100.00
    Online Price $199.99*
    *2 yr contract-New service price AT&T

    yes i think it will be about the same in price,i don’t think i have ever seen a decent camera on a mobile phone,there all complete rubbish,they should just drop them from all mobile phones in the future,at the end of the day if i want to take pictures i would by a camera good enough to do the job properly!
