The BlackBerry 8705g has made it to T-Mobile's website. It's QUAD-bank, with network support on 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS and EDGE networks. This makes it possible for international roaming between North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
This device also is functional as a tethered modem. This means you can connect your laptop to the Internet via your BlackBerry.
More deets about the tethered modem capability is here.
So newly posted, no definitive pricing yet. But I expect these details to be available in short order.
When they are, you'll be among the first to know.
1. I don't see any such 8705 on T-Mobile's web site. What (or rather, where) am I missing? And there is nothing in the cited specs that is any different from the 8700 anyway. This doesn't sound right.
