Oooooo, my Blackberry comes with a an G key, wow, the features they shove into these things!]]>Aug 31st 2006 2:07PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/31/the-boy-genius-report-verizon-8703-spec-sheet/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/31/the-boy-genius-report-verizon-8703-spec-sheet/

I think it came from BlackBerry Forums or something]]>Aug 31st 2006 3:35PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/31/the-boy-genius-report-verizon-8703-spec-sheet/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/31/the-boy-genius-report-verizon-8703-spec-sheet/Aug 31st 2006 4:43PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/31/the-boy-genius-report-verizon-8703-spec-sheet/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/31/the-boy-genius-report-verizon-8703-spec-sheet/
The 8703 is just the 8700 but for cdma/evdo. Yes, EVDO is faster than EDGE, but the device is also slower for many tasks because it does not have an 312 mhz Intel CPU like the 8700 does. This is the same as the 7130g/c devices versus 7130e device. The 7130e is hella-slow for somethings. For most currecnt use it won't matter - but if they are trying to make the leap into multi-media and gaming then the Qualcomm stuff won't cut it.
Once the GPRS networks bump up to UMTS and RIM follows through with an Intel based UMTS, the only signicant difference will be that the cdma/evdo devices will be lacking in processing capanbility - unless RIM takes some sort of, non-integrated approach to have Qualcom radio + intel CPU (i.e. more costly).

Interestingly, RIM has removed all the intel logos and the references to the Intel from the device spec sheets on their website. WHY? They don't want to tick off the CDMA carriers.
