The Blackberry 8703e is the best last-generation Blackberry -- and as such (and in light of the snazzy new Pearl), it feels a bit left behind. The most advanced feature this updated device offers -- the tethered modem support over Verizon's EV-DO network -- is truly noteworthy, but the messaging and PIM interfaces, once the standard-bearers of simplicity, pale compared to those on the latest Windows Mobile devices. RIM aficionados with a hankering for an old-school 3G BlackBerry with a full QWERTY keypad will likely warm to the 8703e, but now that we've seen the future of RIM handsets, the 8703e can't help but seem dated.
