Boy Genius, who seems plugged in to forthcoming BlackBerry model info, writes about the forthcoming BlackBerry 8820.

The device- which has not been announced yet- will have Wi-Fi but no camera.

Here's how BG deduces this:

From the Device.xml file that comes with OS 4.2.0.109 for the Cingular 8800c, we find…Click on for the rest including OS 4.2 8700 info!

What does this mean?  Well, while the details may not be completely clear and one hundred percent correct, but it shows that it will have a GPRS/WLAN radio stack, a first for BlackBerry devices, as well as the customary support for voice-activated dialing and push-to-talk capabilities.  Unfortunately, one feature it does not list is the camera, so let's rule out this device for that 8800 series CameraBerry model.. for now, of course.

No word on release date.
