More scuttlebutt about the BlackBerry 8100:
Unlike all other BlackBerry models to date, there won't be any carrier-specific letter labeling on this new camera-ready 8100 series.
By "carrier-labeling," I mean no more BlackBerry (model number) "c" for Cingular, "t" for T-Mobile, "g" for Verizon, "v" for Vodafone, "r" for Rogers, etc.
We hear this decision has been made to cut down on market confusion, as well as to reduce expenses incurred by re-plating physically identical devices.
Makes sense to us.
What do you think?
1. Makes sense to me. I found this site yesterday when doing research for blackberry models. I got so confused in regards to the lettering until I read more and figured it all out. Good that RIM will stop this lettering nonsense.
