T-Mobile now selling the BlackBerry 8700g

Both BBHub and RIMarkable are reporting that T-Mobile has officially started selling the BlackBerry 8700g. Up to this point Cingular had an exclusive with the 8700c.

What's so great about the 8700? Other than a much nicer form-factor it features a high-speed data connection (EDGE in the case of Cingular and T-Mo). Download speeds are at least 2x faster than regular GPRS BlackBerrys.

The question now is how much longer before a CDMA version (Verizon, Sprint, Alltel) will be available? My guess would be 4th quarter of this year.
