A little birdy that works @ the Rogers Head office in Toronto, mentioned to me the other day, how a mystery box from RIM arrived earlier this week. The mystery box is said to contain a new blackberry.

More to Come.

Apparently its supposed to hit the shelves by the end of september. Shipping to stores is supposed to start mid way though september.

Any idea what this mystery box contained?

Let's hope it starts with an "E" and ends with a "N"!

[thriller]

Hope they will pull off an intersting Ad campain

I'm thinking it's just the updated form factor on the 7100.

Sounds right. Wishing its the Electron is mere speculation.

blackberries are already crazy expensive...if the electron comes out then will the other BBs drop in price or will the electron just be $800?

i want a 7290!!

I'm sure if/when its out the 71xx and 72xx devices will drop in price.

I do believe its the updated 7100 series.

[MobileRC]

Word is the electron will be available for sale in november but the 7100 redesigned end of september... I imagine it could be either.

[Wolf6can]

Something must be on its way as you can now get a 7290 for $149 @ Rogers .

[dyzs]

A short while ago it was $99 to compete with Bell's offering the 7250 for free...don't read into the pricing too much.

[corey@12mile]

Edited. Sorry.

[dyzs]

Rogers only offers their best price with a three year term. Are you saying they will have it at an even better price with a three year contract?

[corey@12mile]

Edited. Sorry.

you are yourself confirming what i said abt the 8700 and have yourself talked abt Rogers..why are you attributing it to me then? dont you have the B---s to accept responsibility for your own words?

cd.

[T-Roy]

Hmm, yeah, Rogers is getting an updated 7100 like T-Mobile we hear... as well as an 8700.
