The Cingular Blackberry 8700c won’t even be launched until later tonight, but the first review has already leaked out. The verdict? Very positive.

This version of the crackberry is much faster than earlier models because of the new Intel chip. It sports 68MB of memory. RIM has listened to users and refined many of the user functions so that it is much more efficient. It’s lighter and thinner than its predecessors. The screen is amazing, download speeds are much better for web content and you can even have MP3 based ringtones and emoticons. The themes are also better to look at and easier to use.

Details will be much more available and we will have an idea about price and availability once the product is officially launched by Lance Freaking Armstrong tonight. Look out for it.
