I love my 7520. And I sold my 7510 on e-bay when I got my 7520. I now have 2 7520's (One as a backup) so when the 8702 is out I will sell one of my 7520's on e-bay and keep the other as a backup.

I have the 7520 and 7100i. I will probably sell the 7520 to get the 8702

I have followed their history, but you're wrong about the 7520. As I discovered when I went to a Nextel corporate store to buy the Extended Battery Door for the 7520, RIM's official name for the 7520's color is Arctic Black. So, RIM definitely considers it black.  |

They might consider it black, but anyone who can differentiate between colors can tell that the 7520 is blue. |

I've been looking at my 7520 under all sorts of lighting conditions for over a year now. And in that time, it's always looked like a metallic black to me... well, nearly black. It's obviously a tad lighter than true black, as verified by comparison to the antenna, scroll wheel and Esc key... more of an extremely dark grey. But it's never looked like a dark blue to me. That would make it look more like the color of T-Mobile's 8700g, which is very obviously a metallic navy blue.

Well, for us Canadian folk, considering that Telus just released the 7100i last month (and it's a mighty fine device) we're probably waiting at least another year before we see the 8702 (assuming that the rumours are true).
Oh well. I can wait a year. The 7100i was worth the wait, so I can't see why this one wouldn't be as well.

It never occured to me that my BB was blue. I'm looking at it now and I'd still say black, but I guess I could be convinced otherwise.

The 7100i operates on iDEN, the Nextel network, and will not use EV-DO.

Ive been thinking.. Since all 8700s so far support high speed data, and the Iden network is not capable of hi speed, maybe this will be the first hybrid?

I think it may support WiDEN, but that's about it. The 8700s for GSM don't support UMTS or HSDPA.

News from local nextel store
Hi all. I've been lurking for a while but I am kind of excited about the nextel 8700. Anyway today as I was passing by a Nextel kiosk at the mall the sales person stopped me. We started talking and he told me that they will be receiving a new blackberry in two weeks. I'm not sure if this is accurate but that is what he said.

Sprint is launching the 7130 - a CDMA device - the end of May.

Bad News! The Nextel BlackBerry 8702 is not coming out until SEPTEMBER!
bbhub.com/2006/05/10/new-info-on-sprintnextel-8702-see-you-in-september/
I'm pissed! I had my hopes pretty high for this one. The could sell a lot more phones if they would just make them available. I know, R&D, testing, etc. |
