bringing this back on topic:

we have seen the razrberry (Q), the htc wizards, now treo 670 running wm5, the electron must leak somewhere!

although the "charm" at the time popped out of no where and went official very shortly there after...RIM folks are solid on their NDA's eh?

any additional insight please share!

regards,
dolo

How come there's nothing new? it's been a few weeks. Did that tour happen?

I just ran across these pics of the Razrberry on engadget. Seems like it runs on Windows mobile.

Check it out

There are a lot of Threads about that already...

From my RIM source:Reliable The electron is already in Cingular's hands and WILL be sold by late October early November. Take it to the bank.

Paul,

Does your source know when it might be in T-Mobile's hands?

[Jack T. Chance]

Okay, that Electron is definitely the New Hotness!

I know it'll be awhile, but I can't wait for Nextel to get a version of that! ^_^

Lets pray it's 3G enabled, I'd love to have a BlackBerry with a faster browser on board, I recon I'd use the browser a lot more if it were faster.

It has been said that it will indeed have EDGE high-speed data.

Thanks for making my day Paul. I waited and waited for the Cingular 7290, and I've fallen in love with it. But a Cingular Electron? Wow! I'll ditch my 7290 in a heartbeat for a younger, more stacked, and firmer, toy.

It stands to reason that RIM would rapidly keep improving their units, what with Microsoft, GoodLink, Moto, and the others yapping at its heels.

Why not Nextel Dawg? You've got some insider info to RIM or Nextel?

[bperkins]

I would imagine that this BlackBerry would have a spearkerphone.....would it be the same one they have in the Nextel's? If so, how good are those now...Nextel users???

Electron

It is amazing and small, Dark Grey. Screen works pretty great in sun. The Beta version I saw is for CINGULAR. Fast as hell on browser upgrd Bluetooth, Keys are set further apart and shaped different than all previous versions. Its amazing and the design is very well thought out.

[bperkins]

Come on don't leave us hanging....more details please. First, are you a BlackBerry user? Smaller than the current 7290...in what way? Is it thinner? Did you get a chance to type on it? How is it compared to 7290 model. Upgraded BT.....more options (OBEX, etc.) or just to 2.0?

I can also confirm this, I am an IT Manager for a federal agency, we have 2000+ Cingular BB running, I am a newbie here but I visit HoFo quite often (same screen name).

Last week I asked my Cingular account manager, see if she can bring me some new BBs, like the 7270, later I learned that the 7270 does not have GSM, only Wi-Fi. Well I was drunk so I didn't notice that from their website, but she did told me that Cingular is completing the tests on a BB with EDGE, and it will be release in Q4. She did not say what model nor she has a unit. I asked her if she can bring me a demo because I am shopping for at 100 units. She said she will get back to me.

I will, of course, keep you updated.
