T-Mobile UK and Research In Motion announced an expansion of T-Mobile’s portfolio of BlackBerry devices with the introduction of the new BlackBerry 8700g. The device is expected to be available from T-Mobile throughout the UK from early February. The BlackBerry 8700g, developed and manufactured by RIM, has a full QWERTY keyboard in a new, sleek, lightweight design. In addition to standard BlackBerry functionality including support for “push” email, phone, text messaging, browser, organizer and corporate data applications, the BlackBerry 8700g was completely re-engineered to boost performance and features an Intel processor as well as 64 MB flash memory and 16 MB SRAM. The BlackBerry 8700g delivers faster Web browsing, attachment viewing and application performance. Using the BlackBerry 8700g, users can also view common attachments such as PowerPoint, Excel, and Word.
