3G BlackBerry Javelin On The Horizon?

August 18, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 5 Comments

One of the questions we’ve often pondered is why Research in Motion came out with a 3G BlackBerry Bold only seemingly to backtrack and follow it up with the upcoming 2.5G BlackBerry Javelin. To be honest, I am still don’t quite understand this move, however, if the rumors are correct, a 3G packing BlackBerry Javelin called the BlackBerry 9220 is not too far beyond the horizon.

Now, if RIM really wants to make some noise, not only should they be working on a 3G Javelin-like BlackBerry 9220, but also a CDMA BlackBerry Javelin. Let’s face it, RIMs GSM first, usually on AT&T in the States practice is really burning them with continued BlackBerry Bold delays and no urgency on the part of AT&T to get it out. Additionally any new Verizon BlackBerry with a full keyboard on it will be a huge hit, especially since all indications point to a CDMA BlackBerry Bold being about a year away.

    I would just be happy to see something finally available. By the time RIM gets their phones out, and at some of the supposed prices, they may as well say they have given the consumer market to apple as they are concentrating on the enterprise market. Too long to wait, too high of cost. You might look at android before the Rim gets to market.

    I hear that Naomi Campbell was the inspiration and designer of the Javelin model. Her use of a blackberry and accuracy led to the curved edges for better dynamics, and its smaller size to fit her hand better when tossing.

    I can’t wait to see her next design!
