Filed under: Handsets , RIM , T-Mobile , GSM , EDGE Right on time , T-Mobile has added another piece to the smartphone side of the HotSpot@Home puzzle with the 8820, featuring both WiFi and GPS in a single package -- a somewhat rare combo from our friends at RIM, and a new, fresh answer to the 8800 and 8830 variants found on every other national carrier in the US (and, in the case of the 8800, on T-Mobile itself). The lack of a camera will be a detraction for some, but a boon for others given the device's all-business roots -- and naturally, no one's going to complain about the microSD expansion, myFaves support, or the ability to hop on 802.11g networks for a little VoIP action, T-Mobile style. As cool as the Curve ? No, but this one'll find it's own audience, no question about it. Look for the BlackBerry 8820 in stores starting today.

Filed under: Handsets , Features , RIM , GSM , GPRS , EDGE Well looky what we found this morning, RIM's new BlackBerry 8820 in all its WiFi-enabled glory. While we can't cheer and celebrate hot looks or bold new design, we are pretty stoked to finally see WiFi under the hood in one of these toys. As some rumors have pointed out, it is indeed lacking any type of camera, but hey, the new wireless option has given us plenty to smile about, so we won't gripe until the next iteration. We don't have any hard specs or pricing to talk about -- except what has already been rumored -- but the AT&T branding all over the place certainly hints at a potential carrier. Seems it may be a busy month for our big blue friends with the potential June 13th launch date for the 8300, and now the 8820 waiting in the wings.
