RIM 8830 Global Phone (Cyclone) Launch 5-14-07

Holy crap that is awesome. Just wish it was black, but that's only a small issue.

Knowing Verizon, a few months after this one is released, they'll be a black one, and red one and a pink one as well.

Just kidding, black would have been nicer, but the silver is fine.

I have a Verizon Blackberry 8703e and would like to get this ASAP.

I wonder what kind of contract modification is necessary to get global roaming?

[mediafreak24]

I want a blackberry, but I need it with a camera! Too bad they werent releasing the pearl for verizon

[k40jeep]

The Pearl Is Coming Too!

[FameCity23]

Because this thing is going to be a "World/Global Edition," does that mean it is also going to come with some outrageous price tag?

I have a 8703e and I love it but I want to be able to load a video on to watch here and there when stuck in airports or waiting for meetings.

Do you think these new verizon phones (xv6800,libra,Cyclone, etc..) will come out around the iphone release?

[ThinkALot]

Where's Roc A Fella? Surely he could give us the scoop on this new BB! Please...Roc...

I know the Cyclone doesn't have a cam on it, but does anyone know if it supports MMS? This could still be useful, especially since I receive many more MMS messages than I send.

I just wanted to QUOTE this as I find it FUNNY coming from someone with a username of VZW_CSR! If the name actually IS your job......please don't answer MY calls!

I, personally, will be at the store the morning either this BB or the Pearl is available with VZW. I love my 8703...left it twice and came back! Only thing better than a BB for me is a better BB! LOL!

I believe the 8700 has it, so I'd assume the the Cyclone will as well.

No, the 8700 does not have a camera and the 8830 Cyclone will not either. I assume that the Cyclone will be able to handle MMS, if not it will go through vzwpix.com (weak workaround, but does go through the BB browser)

Sorry I wasn't more clear. The 8700 _has_ MMS and no camera, so I'm assuming the Cyclone will as well.

Well, there has not been any internal training on the device as of yet, so everything I know about the phone so far comes from hofo.

I know.....It just struck me as ironically funny...hence all the 's LOL! Didn't mean any evil!

[phinger]

ok.

this phone IS coming out, and im going to assume confidently that its going to be soon.

there are 2 internal verizon documents for corporate sales presentations for 2 very large companies buying additional service with verizon wireless and the blackberry 8830 is part of it.
this device has been seen by managers and discussed with some employees stating how hot this thing is.
its coming, and its coming soon. id guess by june we will see it.

if i could post the document i would, but its verizon wireless confidential.
