The Blackberry Electron was announced in Q4 of 2004.[2] It was formally launched in the fall of 2005.[3] The gross profit reported by RIM's income statement, as of March 2006 (about four months after the release of the Electron), was US$1.37 billion.[4]

Networkedit
The 3 versions of the Electron differed in network support – the original (8700) model supported Quad-band GSM (EDGE/GPRS).
The 8707 (AKA "UMTS Electron") added 2100MHz UMTS 3G and the 8703 model was designed for US CDMA operators and supported both 850MHz and 1900MHz CDMA2K (EvDO/1xRTT) – the 8703 also has A-GPS support, which was not present on the GSM/UMTS variants.
The quad-band network (on the 8700 and 8707, but not the 8703) gave it an edge over its competitors, such as the Palm Treo, as it was the best network available for international travelers in 2005–2006. The Electron uses a mini-SIM.[2][7][8]
