Found this over at crackberry.com

"Sweet!!! Following up on yesterday's pics of the BlackBerry Javelin, Engadget has posted a video of this no-longer-a-rumor BlackBerry smartphone. Be sure to watch the video. See that microUSB port? And look at that keyboard!!! If the Bold's keyboard is the "best keyboard RIM has ever built", then is this one better than best? It seems they have gone back to having spaces between the keys. Let's call it Curve 2.0."

Good time if you are looking for a new BlackBerry. They are really stepping up and coming out with great devices. I'm looking forward to the next few months and playing with some of these new toys.

What is the difference between this one and the Bold in terms of specifications?

I'm not sure about the specs but kinda makes me think jumping ship for the bold.

You are ready to jump ship for a short flick with no specs?

Be careful where you land.

i think its bad that most of these new blackberries will be over the $300 mark. i think i'll stick with my 8800.

I don't think I would go to a non-3G BlackBerry once they start making 3G ones. Its like taking a step back just for looks.

I was wondering what the difference was between this & the Bold. Unless the price difference is significant, I don't see why you would rather a Javelin over the Bold.

This basically looks like the Curve 2.0 - minor cosmetic upgrades and a new camera. Still looks amazing, but I agree, I would not go to a non-3g.

Ack -- nevermind.

again, the Bold has 3G and the Javelin does not. If you dont use your browser a lot it isnt that big of a deal.

Ohhh! Shiny!!!

I'll keep my Curve.

First its the keyboard on the bold that makes me go yuck and now its a possible Curve2 with no 3g? (possibly no gps either?)

Also a 3+ megapixel camera is nice and all but MMS only supports up to something like 300K. which means I wouldn't care about a 3 megapixel camera.

guess I get to save my money for quite some time yet.

No 3G = Curve 2.0? More like Curve 0.5.



Posted by: DipLoMaTz

Yeah I didn't know it wasn't 3g...

Bold for the win...



Posted by: CurlyT1

It's just a shiny toy...at this point I just rather switch back to my Curve just so i can have my camera back...The Bold looks exciting but I want to see it in action. I am a moderate user but i wear my device memory down often. Plus none of these devices are hitting Sprint in any near future.
