Sprint next to get BlackBerry 8703e

Hot on the heels of Verizon's launch (ring any bells?), Sprint will be the next to add a CDMA variant of the BlackBerry 8700 series device to its portfolio. The handset drops on October 1 for $350 with a two-year agreement, matching Verizon's offering to the letter. With EV-DO, Bluetooth 2.0, integrated GPS, and as much push email as your poor thumbs can handle, the 8703e brings it strong -- which it has to, considering the amount of play one of its GSM cousins has been getting lately.

Wow....amazing....I mean who would have thought that the Blackberry would end up looking just like my TREO? Didn't Apple once have some window type programing that became a huge hit when MS copied it? Hey Sprint you were TREO first and now you put a different name on it and think we buy this as a "new" product. Please...us TREO fans have been on the leading edge for years and a Blackberry with a sex change does not impress us.
