A RIMarkable reader who just happens to work for the United States House of Representatives told me that they, they being Congress and its employees, were offered a special pre-release option for the BlackBerry 8703e from Verizon and that they just started showing up today.
This rumor will undoubtedly be dwarfed by the release of the BlackBerry Pearl tomorrow, however, for those Verizon subscribers still waiting for an 87XX series BlackBerry, hopefully, our wait will end soon.
No fair…those govt people always get the perks 🙂
Most rumors have the device going online the 17th, B2B the 18th…of course, with this device these rumors have been wrong before…
It is telling that so many in the federal govt rely on Verizon for their service…Verizon sticks it to you, but they do have great signal…basically, you can go anywhere and Verizon will work…
I absoulutely know that the rumors can be wrong and for all those emailing me asking how they can get in on the pre-release, I think that you may need to get elected to the House of Representitives or get a job working their.
Well, it looks like everyone will be able to get a BlackBerry 8703e come this Sunday…
The BlackBerry 8703e is now for sale…
