RIM Shares Seen As Attractive Ahead Of Pearl Debut - Forbes.com

"Other pending product catalysts from Research in Motion include the launch of the BlackBerry 8703e in Verizon stores and a possible QWERTY-keyboard BlackBerry for release in the calendar 2006 fourth quarter or first quarter of 2007."

OK, the 87xx is the QWERTY offering, no? Or are we to believe there is some other series coming along that quickly? I expected something later next year but not this soon. -Pk

They are probably talking about the rumored 8200. It supposed to be the 8100 minus the camera and with a QWERTY keyboard.

The current model of the rumored 8200 really bothers me... All I wanted was an 8100 with a QWERTY keyboard, and it appears (as of right now anyway) that they are going to screw me out of that, by not providing a camera... DAMN YOU RIM...
