any information on contract free pricing? Also, if someone could try to see if this works with Fido's SIM card that'd be great

Excuse my ignorance, but is the hardware basically the new curve/javalin with the optical trackpad?
EDIT: just did a search, looks like it is.....
It's the Blackberry Javelin (8900) with a optical trackpad that costs $100 less.Originally Posted by mr_yellow
no 3G, 2.0 MP camera and a lower resolution screen.
Trackpad was pretty good last i tried in the U.S. Pocket lint is no lower the BB's enemy.
Its also:
-3.9g lighter than the 8900
-No GPS
-2.0mp(8520) vs 3.2mp autofocus(8900)
-screen is 320x240, compared to the 480x360 of the 8900
-No onboard memory, compared to the 256MB of the 8900
Info taken from the Blackberry website
The world is mine!
wow...it's amazing how awesome of a device the 8900 is comparatively.

Has anyone here used it yet? I am curious. My 8310 still works like a charm, but is looking a little rough...like the wi-fi, and am ok with having that instead of GPS.
The 8520 does have 258mb of application memory built-in. Every Blackberry must have some internal memory for the application installs.Originally Posted by MleXxus
