I am betting you are right. I would assume this is on the Cingular site? If so, what a find!
You are the MAN!

Cities for Launch
NY City on the 20th and SF on the 22nd
After looking at the site more its the 8800 for sure as the registration link header shows that pic, and is named 8800c.

Do we have any final features/specs? I think there are still questions as to whether or not the device will have GPS/WiFi built-in, right? If it has GPS, I'm in!

Nope - sorry I am not going to post the URL. It is very real and that is the launch date.

Hey Stinson -
So, you are pretty confident that the 8800 will have inbuilt GPS but no camera? I can take or leave WiFi... but GPS built in would be a doer for me, and it'd be straight cheese if it had the camera as well...
Thx,
Stac

Actually that was my attempt to do an advance release before I had a unit in my hand.
I am pretty sure most of it will work.
From someone that has used one, there is no wi-fi and no camera ,and yes there is GPS. |

Thanks for the heads up on the 20th. Don't care about the camera, GPS or WiFi. For those who this is a deal breaker, please step out of the line and let the other move on up!

Well Said! Thanks for the laugh!
I will certainly be keeping my place in line as I could give a flying leap about a CAMERA on My BB......

And this is what makes the 8800 a contender for me, but I'll have to prove out if wifi is either required or a high-need ability for some of our distributors. It could be a useful tool, but one that I don't personally require. Either way, I'm looking forward to exploring it, in one incarnation or another.  |

Hmmm, seemed like WiFi was mighty important to you not too long ago. |

Sorry, no evidence of that. I'd only have interest in using WiFi if/when it becomes city/county-wide. Even then, its usefulness for me is very limited.

Is that an actual photo of the 8800? Looks a LOT like the 8700 with a pearl to me, buy maybe that's what it is supposed to be. Brickberry II!
