Verizon had exclusivity on a number of top tier smartphones this year (like the WM Treo and the Q), but apparently couldn’t work their magic with the Blackberry 8703e. Sprint now carries the EV-DO enabled ‘berry on America’s largest cellular network. You can pluck a Sprint version of the phone for $349.99 with a two-year agreement starting on October 1. From what I see so far, there is little difference between the two models if you’re debating on which carrier to provide you one; I do see mention of integrated GPS in the Sprint announcement, but don’t see the same from Verizon. Those in the know: drop us a comment to confirm; thanks!
