Blackberry 8707g launched

The Blackberry 8707g is very similar to the 8707v in many ways, and this quad-band GSM device comes with UMTS 2100 support. The 8707g boasts a 65k color QVGA display with light sensing technology that automatically adjusts the screen and keypad’s brightness to suit the current lighting condition for optimal viewing. You can also use the 8707g as a tethered modem with your notebook to access the Internet. Additional features include Bluetooth connectivity, a speakerphone, 64MB ROM, and 16MB RAM. The lack of a camera for video calling is rather puzzling for a 3G device. It will be launched with Optus in Australia and it remains to be seen whether the 8707g will make it Stateside.
