MODS - can we have his name changed to "GIBBERISHATRON?"

I truely am curious as to how I am going to like the 8800. I am loving the 8100 thus far, but I do miss the full QWERTY.

[allthumbs]

I am hearing March for the 8800 and it's going to be called The Viper??? can anyone confirm that??? I read that on another forum....

[LLDRU32]

Any price given out on the Blackberry 8800 yet?

[greggebhardt]

If Cingular is going to have it mid Feb then I would think we would be hearing some announcement. As we have not, it IS looking like March for the release OR later!

I hear Verizon is getting it first...

Verizon won't be first but it will be soon (this year)....It looks like there will be a CDMA/GSM hybrid of the 8800.

I just read about this on blackberrycool... engadget has a good write-up as well... Q2 of 07. It looks like the days of waiting a year or more for new phones is behind us "loyal" VZW customers.

Could they be being tight-lipped in the wake of the 8100 release date fiasco?

This is great to hear, as the poorly designed keyboard on the 8700 was a deal breaker for me. After everyother BB model which had a good keyboard, for them to create the 8700 with a dreadful keyboard was a shock.

Now I too will look forward to the 8800.

Thanks for your report.

Cheers...

I hope the VZW 8800 world phone has a camera (which I don't think it will) so that this could actually be a one device solution. I know a lot of you don't care for the cameras, but I have small children and capture a lot of unexpected moments with it. I can't carry one device and not have a camera, I've grown too used to it.

yea... tmobile
