Some higher resolution pictures of the unreleased BlackBerry Javelin have been posted. The pictures come from BBNews and their member Fr0zen. The pictures show the device next to the Bold, Curve and an iPhone. These images come right after a BlackBerry Javelin was listed on eBay, which you can see here.
Now one can only wonder how long until this bad boy gets released?
Seems RIM just can’t keep their pre-production models off eBay anymore. First it was the BlackBerry Bold, then Kickstart/Pearl 8220 and now its the BlackBerry Javelin 8900. The auction is currently sitting at $899.99 USD with just over six days remaining. So if you want to get your hands on a pre-release unit head on over to eBay at the link below BUT be aware all sales are final and even though the unit has been tested on Rogers BIS/BES networks the device could still be blocked.

So in case you didn’t know. A BlackBerry Kickstart looks huge beside its unreleased cousin the BlackBerry Javelin 8900. This picture popped up on HowardForums today and I can’t believe the size. Oh well I’m sure everyone will get use to it. Now if only RIM would launch the Kickstart and Javelin now!
We have confirmed with two sources that Telus will be launching RIM’s first touchscreen BlackBerry later this year, however details are still a little sketchy. You may have already heard that Verizon is launching the Storm and Vodafone plus maybe Rogers as well. Well after we didn’t hear about Telus we started digging. Two close sources (who both confirmed Telus launching the Pearl 8130 last year) confirmed Telus will launch the 9530 before or around Christmas this year. Now at this time we don’t have any pricing or official dates but stay tuned!

Finally some more details on the highly anticipated BlackBerry Thunder or Storm 9530. As you may or may not know this will be RIM’s first touchscreen BlackBerry smartphone. Anyways it seems that Verizon will be using the BlackBerry Storm name and not Thunder as we saw before. This puppy will be packing a 8GB microSD card in box, 3.5mm headphone jack, Sim card slot for international roaming and NO Wi-Fi (sorry folks!).
Boy Genius seems to think that RIM will go with BlackBerry Storm for Verizon and other carriers such as Vodafone and Rogers may see it branded as the Thunder. So maybe we will see several models (9500, 9530, etc.). He also notes he thinks the Storm/Thunder is still on track for launch later this year…
Ever wonder how big the upcoming BlackBerry Javelin is compared to other BlackBerry smartphones? Well someone over at HoFo posted an image comparing the un-released Javelin to a BlackBerry Curve and 8800. This thin BlackBerry will basically be the 3G-less version of the new BlackBerry Bold. It will be released sometime later this year for GSM carriers. Stay tuned for more details when they arrive!
Just when you thought Nextel’s iDEN network was close to dead. RIM will be bringing life to it again with the BlackBerry Curve 8350i, which we talked about before. This BGR got their hands on some launch details on Sprint’s Q4/Q1 handset roadmap. Nextel’s BlackBerry Curve 8350i will be packing an internal antenna, 2.0 megapixel, Wi-Fi, microSD slot, and of course Nextel Direct Connect. Not only thatbut it will be powered by OS 4.6.
More details of the un-released Curve replacement, the BlackBerry Javelin 9300. Crackberry got the full low down on all the Javelin’s specs including its 3.2 megapixel camera with auto-focus, Wi-Fi, metal battery door, faster processor, more on board memory, higher resolution display, micro USB charging port, improved browser, oh and its thinner body!
The Javelin is expected to launch near the end of the year in a Quadband GSM version (no 3G).The Javelin should be one sexy device when it arrives.
