Kevin from CrackBerry has posted a video walk through of the un-released BlackBerry Kickstart 8220. As you may or may not know the Kickstart is RIM’s first flip phone with full BlackBerry features included. Its expected to launch on T-Mobile within the next few months. It will sport a 2.0 megapixel camera, Quad-band GSM, EDGE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, micro USB charging port and a next generation Suretype QWERTY keyboard.
Not only did CrackBerry post the first BlackBerry Bold review on the internet, but now they are the first to review the un-announced BlackBerry KickStart. The device is running OS 4.6 with T-Mobile themes and MyFaves application. Kevin has also cleared up a lot of information about the KickStart. One of the interesting things you may have noticed is its now the 8220 not 9100. The BlackBerry 8220 will be T-Mobile’s Wi-Fi sporting KickStart and the 8210 will be the GPS only KickStart seen on AT&T.

Ok let me start this off with NO we don't have any official news on this. However wouldn't it make sense for RIM to release a CDMA Javelin? Just think the Curve is the latest BlackBerry CDMA smartphone and next up will be the Thunder which some people will love and some will hate. What about the QWERTY keyboard people? They need love too…
This got me wondering this morning will RIM launch a CDMA Bold or Javelin after the Thunder?
(In case you don't know what CDMA is it's the technology that Verizon, Sprint, Alltel, US Cellular, TELUS and Bell all use.)
More news is trickling down about the BlackBerry Bold and Thunder. Rumor has it the BlackBerry Bold might be running late on some networks. BGR heard from two sources that the Bold may be pushed back until September due to a few small software issues with roaming and seraching, etc. Next up is the highly anticipated BlackBerry Thunder for Verizon. RIM might be starting a huge marketing push for the Thunder come September with an official launch around mid-October. So let's hope they get a move on with both devices!!
Sweet! After we showed you the media UI pictures of the BlackBerry Thunder news started trickling everywhere. Even though its a weekend the folks over at CrackBerry didn't take today off. Kevin got his hands on some REAL live shots of the Thunder and its touchscreen keyboards.
The BlackBerry Thunder will sport both a Suretype and a QWERTY keyboard. Keep in mind the BlackBerry Thunder is still in early production and the OS and keyboard could change a lot before the official launch. Not a bad start though! Click on over to see the pictures.. Read More
Some more hot shots of the BlackBerry Javelin have appeared online. This possible BlackBerry Curve replacement sure looks thin and sexy. This BlackBerry code-named "Javelin" is said to sport Quadband GSM/EDGE, Wi-Fi, GPS, 3.2 megapixel camera, 480×360 display, OS 4.6 and a new ArgonV processor (Thanks BG for that).
