Research In Motion (RIM) was in town last week, and held a short briefing to announce an earlier BlackBerry 8700g launch in Malaysia.
Operating on Maxis’ high-speed EDGE network, the new BlackBerry 8700g features a completely re-engineered device platform offering the best combined data and voice experience for mobile professionals. With a powerful Intel processor, 64 MB flash memory and 16 MB SDRAM, the BlackBerry 8700g provides noticeably faster web browsing, attachment viewing and application performance.
“We are very excited to cooperate with RIM to launch the new Blackberry. As the only mobile operator offering Blackberry solutions on EDGE technology, our customers are assured of speedier connectivity, greater mobility and convenience,” said Fitri Abdullah, Maxis Senior General Manager and Head of Enterprise Business Division. “With over 1,500 sites powered by EDGE which provides up to three times the data speed of GPRS and a nationwide GPRS network, our customers are seamlessly connected wherever they go.”

In addition, the BlackBerry 8700g incorporates a QVGA (320 x 240) LCD display with a unique light sensing technology that automatically adjusts the display and keyboard lighting levels to provide optimized visibility in outdoor, indoor and dark environments.
