With all the rumors out about new BlackBerry models coming out with joysticks, built-in digital cameras, and removable memory slots, this little gem of a device almost got passed us.
Here is a shot of big time Hip-Hop artist and producer Pharrell sneaking us a peak of the upcoming, 18-karat gold plated, if you’re a true baller you’ve got to have one, BlackBerry 8700b. (The b stands for Bling)
This BlackBerry doesn’t have a camera, but, chances are if you are carrying this bad boy around with you there are always some paparazzi near by that would be more than happy to take a quick picture for you.

For those of you who take RIMarkable waaaay too seriously, there is not really a BlackBerry 8700b, however, the BlackBerry 8700 that Pharrell is holding really is 18-karat gold…
- Looks like BoyGenius Blinged out his BlackBerry 8700g

- BlackBerry “Image Capture”… RIM just doesn’t get it.

A gold plated BlackBerry is to low-browe for me. I would only be satisfied if I could get a platinum plated BlackBerry with crushed moon rock from the last Appollo mission encrusted on the sides so that I can get a good grip next time I whack my assistant over the head with it.
Seriously dude, this is a great blog. I read it everyday…

Is this just a gold paint job or is it really 18 karat gold plated?
According to the person that sent me this picture and the story behind where it came from, it is truly 18-karat gold plated.
Does the 18-karat gold help with RF? If it doesn’t forget.
Where can i buy this thing?? It says ‘if you’re a true baller you’ve got to have one’ so i think that it’s available in some stores… ain’t it?
If you are a true baller you don’t ask where to buy the BlackBerry 8700b. You just tell one of your people to tell one of their people to get you one.
