We hope everyone appreciates that due to NDA we have to sit back tight lipped while the speculation and grainy leaked photographs make their way around the internet, but we’re convinced that the new BlackBerry 8300 will have been worth the wait.

I currently have the veriozon 8703e and am going to switch to Cingular. It looks like waiting for the 8300 will be the move. Let me know.

The headphone jack pretty much makes my year, I'm SO tired of carting both the BlackBerry and iPod. Now let's hope the media player on it is decent so that iPhone can be put out of business. I really hate the idea of a touch-screen keypad. I’m so excited! The headphone jack pretty much makes my year, I’m SO tired of carting both the BlackBerry and iPod.

First off, thanks BG for sharing this precious information with us. I am thankful that I heald off and did not buy a 8800. Second, why do people compare the 8300 to a treo? I don't see the physical resemblance at all. Third, everyone that is talking about cingular getting the 8300 before tmo gets the 8800 has to understand, BG did not make an official launch out of this post, this is a soft release. Its not known for sure or not if we are going to see the 8300 before a tmo release, who knows, there is still time for anything to happen right? Hopefully though, the 8300 will be out sooner than later, I am very excited! I am confused about a couple things. First off, thanks BG for sharing this precious information with us.

From what I've been reading, a lot of users who have gone out and got a BB 8800 are saying they are going to return it and get the BB 8300. What will this do to RIM's market share? And on top of this, rumour has it that RIM will be launching BB 88xx in Q-2. I know this will ultimately give us all more choices, but should we WAIT until these launches have taken place before we decide to get the BB we want? Thanks for any clarification you can provide.

Most BB's in service. Just makes sense to offer more to those customers. Alot of 8800 buyers were just replacing devices, but the Pearl brought alot of new users. Much love to the 8100!!

The 8300 and the 8320 will not have GPS. The difference will be wi-fi, 8300 no 8320 yes. The 83xx (Papa Bear) will have GPS, camera and wi-fi. BGR did an article last week about the differences.
