Verizon 8703e in the flesh

by Chris Ziegler posted Aug 22nd 2006 at 1:12AM

If you'd closed your eyes and thought really hard about what a Verizon-branded BlackBerry 8700 might look like, we're guessing you would've come up with something like this. Granted, it looks like we didn't get a launch today, but the wait should be measured in weeks at worst, days at best -- so we're hoping this eye candy is enough to hold everyone over in the meanwhile whilst you get ready to eBay your 7130e.

Not really Ryan, you can set your own themes for the BlackBerry. And they work for all blackberry's so that shouldn't be a problem. Of course, the theme that it will probably default to would be the Verizon theme, but then you can always customize it yourself =).
