Mobile Syrup managed to get their hands on a pre-production BlackBerry Curve 8900 (Javelin). This second edition Curve is expected to hit Rogers later this year or early 2009. Check out their video review and see what they think of this hot new Curve.

The Curve 8900 features OS 4.7 similar to the BlackBerry Bold, 3.2 megapixel camera with auto-focus, Wi-Fi, large high resolution 480×360 display and GPS. Basically its a smaller verison of the Bold without the 3G part. Enjoy the video!

Rogers 2009 BlackBerry Lineup!

By James on Oct 20, 2008 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Canada, Curve 8900 Series, Rogers, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series.

We missed this one over the weekend. Boy Genius has released Rogers’ 2009 Blackberry lineup! Its filled with one new device every quarter and it will all start off with the BlackBerry Curve 8900 (formally known as Javelin) in Q1 then followed by a BlackBerry Storm varriant in Q2, BlackBerry “Magnum” (Curve 8900 with 3G) for Q3 and last but not least the BlackBerry Pluto (Bold-like device with touchscreen) for Q4 of 2009. Keep in mind they most likely won’t be getting the internal names and call the devices Magnum and Pluto. Also we should expect to see several new devices at WES (Wireless Enterprise Symposium) 2009 :-).

RIM working on Palm Treo killer next?

By James on Oct 17, 2008 in BlackBerry, RIM, Rumors, Un-Released models.

Boy Genius plans to keep everyone jumpy until WES 2009. Seems BG got a tip that RIM is working on a Storm-like Bold-like design. Apparently RIM will be showing off at WES 2009 (I know its a long ways away) this new touch screen model which is similar to the Bold and upcoming Curve 8900 (Javelin). It will compete directly with Palm’s touch screen models. So because this is very early information no official codename or model is known. Check out his mock up of this Treo Berry like device. Now I guess its time to sit back and wait for more details…

By James on Oct 09, 2008 in BlackBerry, Curve 8900 Series, International Networks, Pearl Flip 8200 Series, Un-Released models.

Sounds like T-Mobile Germany is feeling a little left out with all the Vodafone Storm news. T-Mobile has just listed the BlackBerry Curve 8900 (aka Javelin) on their website as coming in November. They have also listed the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 as coming this month.

The BlackBerry Curve 8900 is the EDGE only replacement for the Curve series, which also features GPS, Wi-Fi, 480×360 high resolution screen and a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto-focus. We should expect to see an official announcement from RIM soon…
