BlackBerry 8703e screen caps outed; no GSM?

by Chris Ziegler, posted Aug 22nd 2006 at 5:45PM

Far be it from us to suggest a screen shot of unknown origin conclusively proves that GSM won't be found on Verizon's 8703e, but the four little letters there on the display -- "CDMA," as opposed to, say, "CDMA/GSM" -- certainly have us thinking that the handset may yet be less world-friendly than we'd hoped. 'Course, we'll reserve our final ruling until this thing hits the streets, but hopefully these caps give our QWERTY-loving friends a little more fodder to chew on while they wait.

[Thanks, Brad]
