RIM BlackBerry 8700r Wireless Handheld
RIM and Rogers Wireless announced that the BlackBerry 8700r wireless handheld will be available November 29th in Canada. The BlackBerry 8700r is touted as an all-in-one device supporting e-mail, web and corporate data applications. This also happens to be the first device in Canada to support EDGE networks, so it's a little landmark of something there.
The BlackBerry 8700r sports a QVGA (320x240) LCD screen capable of 65k colors which automatically adjusts the brightness depending on the surrounding light. It features 64MB of flash memory as well as 16MB SRAM for applications. It's good to know the 8700r sports Bluetooth and integrated speakerphone for handsfree operation.
With quad-band support, the 8700r can work in more than 170 countries. Of course, you also have the usual QWERTY keyboard for convenient e-mail and web access.
Costing C $499.99 (with 3-year service agreement with Rogers Wireless), you can purchase the BlackBerry 8700r from Rogers Wireless' website.
