  • 3.2 megapixel camera
  • An upgraded display
  • Ability to record video
  • 4.3″x2.4″ and .6″ in thickness
  • Removal of the trackball in place of a track pad
  • Fast 624Mhz processor
  • Networks: 900/1700/2100/800/850/1900/2100MHz (3G)
  • Blackberry OS 5.0
  • Media player for video
  • Continued BES support
  • Battery with 6 hours talk time and 17 days of standby
  • Background noise suppression
  • 256 MB Flash memory

This phone will be available from AT&T and T-Mobile in November. AT&T is offering it at $199 after a mail in rebate. Pricing for T-Mobile is still coming although expect a similar deal.

As always the ringtones pre-installed with this device are not great and will need to be upgraded with a Business Ringtone collection.
