Cingular and RIM in cahoots for BlackBerry 8710?

by Michael Caputo posted Dec 3rd 2006 at 8:39AM

Normally, when we get tips about the outlandish, we kinda chuckle a bit and put them aside -- except for when it's one of our favorite insiders, Roc A Fella. He's reporting that several of Cingular's call centers in the US now have the BlackBerry 8710c and the initial round of testing has begun. Roc says the device has a quadband GSM and dual-band 850 / 1900 UMTS radio built on the 8700 series body. Stay tuned for the pics!

So...it's a 3G 8700c? My significant other just got an 8700 last night, and loves it. Is there a real need to update?
