Nope - no handle on the lower portion of the 2007 liftgate, it was actually a very poor design originally.  The button is under the emblem and that is were you lift the gate, which is odd from a leverage standpoint and makes the door heavier.  No wonder they redesigned it. 
  
I am doing a emblem camera on a 2007 now and it is quite the project.  I hope to have some more info once (if) completed.
