A T-Mobile austria representative has just confirmed that a new BlackBerry is indeed expected very soon! However, she didnt know number, date of arrival or more about the features!
Dont ask me if this is true or not. I never ever used a BlackBerry and doint really plan to either. However, a member of BlackBerryForums.org called athreya has just released the following information:
The new BB 8700 series will be out soon. Highlights are:
1. EVDO +BB and EDGE + BB device for Verizon (Sprint) and Cingular respectively.
2. GPS and IM builtin (Carrier fee applies)
3. faster processor + 64MB RAM
4. Better – more native – attachment viewing
5. No camera, no wifi, no VOIP.
6. Classic form factor + sleeker design, speakerphone
7. In testing now: Due out in Oct/ Nov from Verizon, Cingular and Sprint/Nextel. (I will have one in hand in about two weeks from now)Like the 7290, dont forget you heard it from me, first. I have shared everything i know.

Overall, these specs look realistic for me from a Palm man’s point of view! What really confuses me is the integrated GPS-if it really works like on the new IPAQ phone, Garmin seems to have a problem! The machine not having a touchscreen-however-is still the main deal breaker for me.
Do you beleive that this device is gonna come soon? RIM recently started to give away BlackBerries for free in some promo actions-who knows if they arent trying to clear stock…
