I've seen a new device being used internally by RIM staff nicknamed "Electron". The resolution is spectacular, and the backlight automatically comes on in low light situations. not sure on any other new developments, since i only 'saw' it, and didn't try it yet.


edit:

well, i'm new to the lingo and didn't know that the 8700 series is already called Electron, therefore i'm not sure if this is news or not.

does the current 8700 have auto backlight?
