That’s right folks! Even before RIM could rake in the credit for making its first clamshell BlackBerry (and by the looks of it, probably the last), Expansys decided to blow the lid off the BlackBerry 8220 aka the Kickstart.

It’s not that Sprint’s Airwave  is minty fresh — as a matter of fact, individuals in Indianapolis and Denver were able to pick one up last September — but the device is brand new to the rest of the nation.

Sprint Touch Diamond may be sooner than expected

Friday, July 25th, 2008

The Touch Diamond has passed through the FCC in CDMA flavor, making September 2nd look like a very good possibility.
