New Blackberry 8700 "Electron"


Folks, it is coming, real soon. Due out sometime in Oct/Nov, based on what others are saying. The new Blackberry 8700, or "Electron". Based on the info I've gathered, it has:

  • Speakerphone
  • Bluetooth
  • Full Keyboard
  • Polyphonic Ringtones
  • EDGE highspeed wireless access
  • GPS capable
  • IM built in
  • Faster processor, including 64 MB of RAM

Possible Drawbacks, however, include:

  • No Camera
  • No WiFi
  • Lacks VOIP capability

Check out The Unofficial Blackberry Blog for more info. This thing should be pretty awesome in functionality. The only problem/question I have, is that it will only continue to blur the workplace and with your personal life further. It is only a matter time before technology will require that employees always be available. That time will suck!!
