Mini BlackBerry With EDGE Coming to GSM Carriers
May 3, 2006, 4:13 PM by (staff)
The FCC yesterday approved two new GSM BlackBerrys. The existing 7130e will soon be joined by GSM/EDGE models: the 7130c for Cingular and a 7130g, likely to come to T-Mobile if naming conventions remain the same. Pictures and drawings both show the Cingular logo on one of the devices. The 7130c/g has a new more-rectangular form factor featuring the hybrid SureType keyboard, quad-band GSM/GPRS with EDGE, mini-USB and Bluetooth 2.0. Neither RIM or any carrier have announced this new Blackberry yet, so pricing and availability are still not known.

...which is only slightly smaller than the rest of the 7100 series. It's pretty much the same size as the 7130e.
