Looks to be in the 8800 Series

This could be the infamous BlackBerry 8820 which has been rumored for some time, but the ID label documentation for this newcomer to the FCC's ranks shows a poor rendering of a quadband GSM device that certainly looks in line with the 8800 series. For end users, that means we can expect a WiFi-equipped 'Berry that lacks the Curve's sex appeal, but may very well be the average business user's dream come true -- especially considering the inclusion of 802.11a alongside b and g (or so the SAR report alleges, anyway) and the probable lack of an integrated cam. No word on a release, but business focus aside, this could be a part of T-Mobile's Hotspot @Home lineup - more details will follow.
