Pre-Production BlackBerry Javelin on eBay

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.

BlackBerry Javelin 8900 will feature OS 4.7

So most of you are still rocking RIM’s OS 4.5 and lower (unless you got your hands on a Bold, then you have 4.6). BBCool is reporting that RIM’s next up BlackBerry Javelin, which is the Curve replacement will be running OS 4.7. This new version of RIM’s OS will look a lot like the BlackBerry Bold’s OS, however its expected to give support for 16GB Micro SD cards and an updated version of the full HTML browser. The new browser should fix all errors users are currently having when browsing sites loaded with Javascripts.

OS 4.7 should make its debut on RIM’s first touchscreen smartphone, the BlackBerry Thunder/Storm later this year as well.

Kickstart looks huge beside a Javelin and Bold

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!

What’s after the Thunder? CDMA Javelin or Bold?

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.)

BlackBerry Javelin to get “Safe Mode”

The upcoming 3G-less BlackBerry Javelin will be the first BlackBerry smartphone to feature a "Safe Mode" feature. This will allow users to boot into safe mode (similar to Windows) simply by holding down the 'ESC/Escape key". This new feature will make its debut in OS 4.6.0.

Kickstart and Seawolf get remodeled to 8000 series

Rumor on the street is that RIM will be re-modeling the upcoming Kickstart and Seawolf models. Originally the BlackBerry Kickstart was thought to be modeled BlackBerry 9100, but now apparently it will be 8220. BlackBerry Seawolf was supposed to be the 9110 and now it looks like it'll be called 8210.

Not only that but BlackBerry Javelin may be modeled 8301 instead of 9300. This would make Javelin the next in the Curve sereis (8300 series).
