T-Mobile Germany Launches BlackBerry Curve 8900 (Javelin)

November 12, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 5 Comments

Well, what do you know…  T-Mobile Germany and RIM have released the BlackBerry Curve 8900 in Germany.  They are making it pretty cheap too…

The BlackBerry Curve 8900 will only set you back EUR 4.95 when you sign up to a two year contract.  I don’t know what the exact conversion to U.S. dollars is, but, I do know that that is somewhere well south of 10 bucks.

If T-Mobile USA or AT&T can get this thing out over here before Christmas and it is less than $10 out the door with a contract, it will sell like mad.

Which New BlackBerry Will Do The Best?

November 10, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 12 Comments

As you are probably already aware, quite a few BlackBerry devices, the BlackBerry Pearl Flip, the BlackBerry Bold, the BlackBerry Storm, and the BlackBerry Javelin, have already, or, are about to launch(ed) this fall.

By the end of Q4, Research in Motion will probably have sold quite a few devices. I am guessing more than they ever have in any single quarter to come before it. The big question, however, is which BlackBerry will come out on top?

Vote, then let us know why you think what you think in the comments.

Gizmodo Reviews The BlackBerry Curve 8900 (Javelin)

October 31, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 10 Comments

Gizmodo got their hands on an AT&T branded BlackBerry Curve 8900. It looks like AT&T will have a big seller on it’s hands…

RIM excels at many things, but keeping secrets ain’t one of ’em, so we’d eyeballed the BlackBerry Curve 8900 (nee Javelin) quite a bit before this AT&T-branded one dropped in our laps. It’s a Bolder version of the current Curve that improves it in basically every way: Lighter, tighter, but more powerful-and it feels like a phone that was produced in 2008, not when you were still keeping your 2006 resolutions.

Like a lot of BlackBerry users, I can’t wait until the BlackBerry Storm comes out, however, I know that a lot of Verizon subscribers want a new device but would prefer one with a physical keyboard.

I wonder how long it will take Verizon to get the BlackBerry Curve 8930?

BlackBerry Curve 8900 “Javelin” Up On T-Mobile Germany’s Site

October 9, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 5 Comments

 
I got a couple of emails this morning asking about when the new BlackBerry Curve would be out. I wasn’t quite sure what new Curve they were referring to until I saw this post over on BlackBerry News.

T-Mobile Germany has actually put the BlackBerry Curve 8900, a.k.a. the BlackBerry Javelin, up on their site and they are saying that it will be available in November.

The BlackBerry Javelin Is Very Small Compared To Other Full QWERTY Keyboard BlackBerrys

August 14, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 3 Comments

 
This picture, found over on Howard Forums, is a great comparison of just how much smaller the BlackBerry Javelin is compared to the BlackBerry 8800 and even the BlackBerry Curve.

I’ve said since the time when the BlackBerry 7100t first came out that I liked the idea of having a BlackBerry that was the size of a traditional cell phone as compared to a scientific graphing calculator. SureType works for me and I prefer the candy bar size of BlackBerrys that use SureType more so than I do having a full QWERTY keyboard.

The BlackBerry Curve was almost small enough for me to move back to a full QWERTY keyboard BlackBerry. If I didn’t already have a BlackBerry 8130 I probably would have gone with the 8330. The BlackBerry Javelin, on the other hand, is the first BlackBerry with a full QWERTY keyboard that I would actually switch from a SureType device to get. It looks almost as small as a BlackBerry Pearl.

BlackBerry Javelin… That’s An Awfully Nice Looking Device

August 8, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 8 Comments

 
Kevin over at CrackBerry.com got some pretty good marketing slick photos of the BlackBerry Javelin.

The BlackBerry Javelin is supposed to be a replacement of the BlackBerry Curve and, coming in a bit smaller than the Curve, might be the first full QWERTY keyboard bearing BlackBerry that I would choose over a SureType BlackBerry.

Rogers BlackBerry Roadmap

July 7, 2008 by Robb Dunewood Leave a Comment

 
A Rogers BlackBerry Roadmap has made its way onto the web and we now have approximations as to when the BlackBerry Bold, BlackBerry KickStart, and BlackBerry Javelin will hit the street.

We can only assume that these devices will hit American carriers around the same time. Time, however, will definitely tell…

BlackBerry Javelin Headed To T-Mobile

June 30, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 5 Comments

 
Those who follow BlackBerry launches closely probably have already guessed that the BlackBerry Javelin would be coming out on T-Mobile. It doesn’t really make sense for AT&T to release a 3G BlackBerry Bold only to launch a 2G BlackBerry Javelin months later. Additionally, T-Mobile tends to get Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerrys first because they fit in nicely with T-Mobile @Home.

It is, however, the recent API that all but definitively confirms that the BlackBerry Javelin is coming out on T-Mobile. The recent BlackBerry Javelin API includes T-Mobile WLAN error codes. I don’t imagine that RIM would code that elaborate of a bone to throw those speculating what carrier will get the Javelin off of the trail.

The BlackBerry Javelin model number will be BlackBerry 9300 and the device will sport BlackBerry OS 4.6.1 and not 5.0.0 as previously expected.
