There is a new MP3 playing, QWERTY keyboard having, non-picture taking BlackBerry coming… It’s called the BlackBerry 8800

Boy Genius has the deets on a new QWERTY BlackBerry with MP3 capability and are friend Russell Shaw over at BBHub has decrypted them for us.

The new BlackBerry 8800, code named the Gamma Ray will have Bluetooth file transfer, GPS, Push-To-Talk, and a file explorer in addition to a QWERTY keyboard and an MP3 players. Voice Activated Dialing (VAD) and a digital camera are noticeably lacking however.

The BlackBerry 8800 feature set is very preliminary and definitely subject to change. If you remember, the BlackBerry Stealth, a.k.a the BlackBerry Pearl, was thought to be cameraless as well when we first heard about it. Additionally, if the Gamma Ray has a voice recorder it isn’t too far of a stretch to think that it will have VAD as well.

BlackBerry 8800, Gamma Ray, Boy Genius
