The new device has a number of improvements designed to improve both the calling and web browsing experience as well as RIM's solid push email implementation. The RIM 8700c will be a Cingular exclusive, available on November 21 for $300 with a 2 year contract and mail in-rebate.

Wait a minute...

Hold the phone. A blackberry? A RESEARCH IN MOTION Blackberry? Well, it looks like the RIM team is going to try to go out with a bang before they go out of business thanks to that patent lawsuit which had appeals rejected by none other than the Federal Supreme Court. Does anybody know when they are going to have to stop selling them in the US? I highly doubt that they have enough liquidity to pay the 400 something odd million that they owe, so the doomsday is going to have to come sometime soon. 😢
