RIM rolls out UMTS BlackBerry 8707g

Yes, it's a repackaged 8707v -- which is in turn a repackaged 8700 series with UMTS thrown in -- but let's face it, UMTS BlackBerrys still aren't the easiest devices to come by. We don't know where all this 8707g variant will be launching, but an early customer will be Austraila's Optus, which intends to drop the device Down Under in the next few days. Besides the quad-band GSM and UMTS 2100 radios, the device includes the usual 320 x 240 display, Bluetooth, 64MB of ROM, and 16MB of RAM. What, no camera?

Plus, they cost more than the E61.
