When will RIM and Sprint officially announce the BlackBerry 8702?

According to Russell Shaw from BBHub, Research in Motion and Sprint will officially announce the BlackBerry 8702 at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium in Orlando that starts on the 15th.

Russell states for the record that WES is when and where the BlackBerry 8702 will be unveiled citing that RIM often announces new devices at this annual event and since RIM isn’t known for announcing new devices far in advance of their ship dates, we will see 8702 in the sales channels by the end of the month.

Announcements could also be made at GLOBALCOMM, this June 4-8 in Chicago. RIM CEO Mike Lazardis is the opening keynote. Should be a great show with all the content they have lined up.

My SprintNextel government reps swear that the 8702 will not be released until end of 3rd Q of this calendar year.

I think nextel need to stop making blackberrys. Nextel is always the last to come out with new blackberry. And please stop the rumors about the 8702 blackberry coming out in September.

If this statement is true how come we don’t see any sign of the 8702 blackberry since we are in the last week in August?
