With the RIM 8800 having been through the review cycle recently, it seems fitting for Canada's Rogers Wireless to officially announce the newer Blackberry for sale from official channels -- not quite so fast though. The press release from Rogers states that the 8800 -- which will be exclusive to Rogers in Canada -- "is expected to be available in retail and business channels in March." Yawn, wake up when March comes, please. All in all, the Blackberry 8800 has now been "introduced" by Rogers as of, well, today -- but no availability for at least a few weeks. When it comes out, finally, customers on Rogers Wireless' service will have the newest Blackberry in their hands with all that EDGE goodness and thin-phone likeness -- as the 8800 is reportedly the thinnest Blackberry ever.[Thanks, Chris]
The more I look at the 8800, the more it grows on me. I swore that I would not buy another BB but this is making me think twice. I'm already due for a Phone upgrade, and if it weren't for the lack of a Camera and a Holster, as well as a lack of an S60v3 Device in Cingular's Line-up I'd probably be oogling for this. The N95 is calling to me...
