Pics of BlackBerry 8705 surface

by Donald Melanson, posted Oct 31st 2006 at 5:13PM

The intrepid Boy Genius got the scoop on the BlackBerry 8705's specs back in August, but it looks like BlackBerryForums.com user "dc/dc" has snapped the pics of the T-Mobile-branded handset in the wild. Not that we didn't already have a good idea what it looked like -- being only a minor variation on the standard 8700 series BlackBerry, adding hearing aid compatibility and not much else. And sorry, 4.2 hopefuls: this one also looks to just be shipping with version 4.1 of the OS.

Um...T-Mobile can order the 8705g for anyone with a hearing aid, and have been able to. This would be like taking pictures of a T509s, they've been out forever and totally make this news post worthless....come on guys, let's get some NEWS!
