The Jav is totally SEXY!! By far the BEST looking Berry present or future. Definitely a must have!! Also, puts into perspective just how BIG the Bold really is. ;)

is it wrong that I'm already contemplating the ColorWare paint scheme I'm going to give my Javelin when it gets released and I buy it??

I'm thinking ALL Black on this baby. Will Look HAWT.

I second that Kevin. All black would look so awesome; the sexiest one on the block.

It's not that big! I will say the jav is sexy though. (wishes it would come with 3g)

I sure hope this is out on CDMA networks by next year. I am upgrading my phone in April and Verizon is the only carrier which services my area.

will just disable the pin on the Jav, just like they did to the BOLD Kev got on ebay. The Jav kicks A**, and I will have it if and or when at&t gets it, but I just dont understand why someone would spend all the money for a paperweight...

the red numbers on the keys are ugly

 
 
Posted by KillingWthASmile Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1351 days ago

I agree about the red numbers. The green ones on the first Jav sightings were more complimentary to the device itself.

There is absolutely no way any company could have as many "leaks" as Blackberry seems to. Their marketing paradigm seems incredibly effective if they are intentionally letting their phone models and features be "leaked" to the public before launch. That's a really smart way to get feedback from customers online before new products are released, minimizing potential problems with less liability ahead of time. It would also save them a TON of money that other companies would spend in focus groups and surveys and it generates more immediate and honest feedback from a wider consumer base. I have to wonder if these Blackberry sites get kickbacks from RIM for being their PR/Marketing mouth piece. I do admit that I'm as interested as anyone about new product offerings, but am wary as always of being marketed to and remain skeptical of most things that are said before any product hits the market.

I have not been keeping up with the Javelin talk. Is there only difference between this and the Bold is the 3G network? Looks nice and just as big as the curve. Any word on release date. I really need to keep up I guess :)

I think the red on black looks pretty nice. It has enough contrast to immediately focus your attention to the numbers without distracting from the overall design.

 
 
Posted by risenONE Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1351 days ago

Am I the only one that noticed it is a Vodaphone phone?

 
 
Posted by crackberryhead Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1351 days ago

The jav looks ready for release...or at least prety damn close...

 
 
Posted by cuban_dudeca Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1351 days ago

I can't wait for this baby to come out. She looks so sexy; I think its the best looking BB out there.

 
 
Posted by Anonymous Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1351 days ago

I think the javelin is a better deal except being not 3g. I heard that theres to be a sort of blend of two, does anybody know of this?

 
 
Posted by R1cowl Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1351 days ago

If you could colorware this one all white would you switch from the Bold? or keep the bold as your workhorse?

Sorry I should read first. you already answered my question.

 
 
Posted by Xopher Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1351 days ago

I was looking forward to the USA release of the Bold... Now I don't know.... I'm not going to be switching phones anytime in the very near future, so I may just have to hold out for the Javelin... :)

 
 
Posted by atb376 Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1351 days ago

I like it. I currently have a Curve and am still wondering why the shift keys are sooooo small not only on the Javelin but the Bold too! It's leaves much wasted space that could've been used to widen them - See Curve. And am I the only one who wonders why in most pictures the trackball appears to be BLACK!?! I would love to get a black trackball for my Curve but don't have the desire to remove the housing and Sharpie the led beneath... Anyone else into the black???

 
 
Posted by serpico Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1351 days ago

Still like my 8330. Nothing here that makes me want to get off my chair and line up for. Next.

 
 
Posted by Radius Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1351 days ago

Yep, I'll get one since I love the Curve. I like the replaceable battery, something the Bold doesn't seem to have. I'm a sucker for aftermarket high capacity power cells.

Black trackball? Looks fine by me.

But atb376 has a good point, the shift buttons are too small! Right now on my curve it is so easy to get NUM lock on with just my thumb. On this thing, it might be a little more annoying. I don't know.

 
 
Posted by BB_addict Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1350 days ago

are you kidding me? The Bold has a replaceable battery.

 
 
Posted by SeaCow Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1350 days ago

I also do hit the NUM key with my thumb when going for shift sometimes - however I believe this new shift key will actually correct this problem, as your thumb will be forced to be pressed down more to the right. After a day of use, you will know there is no shift under the ALT key and your thumb won't even come close to hitting it. Does that make any sense?

 
 
Posted by stewdaddy Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1351 days ago

I could care less about the bold.

But the Javelin!!!!!!!! Now there's a WINNER!!!!
It's like the best of both worlds between a curve and a pearl.
Please, please, please come to Verizon

 
 
Posted by golfnut Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1351 days ago

the Javelin will come to AT&T still? I've read up on the matter on CB and just can't find the info or solid opinions.If it's been answered, can you tell me where? Also when?

 
 
Posted by fantom1023 Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1351 days ago

Talk about an awesome looking device!!! I can't wait to get my hands on one! I believe that this device will be the next Curve, as far as being the most sought after device by most people. I don't think it will come to AT&T because AT&T only wants phones that have 3G capabilities, and unless RIM makes one with 3G, can you say T-Mobile? These are the best pics of the device I have seen to date! Gonna be a good one!!

 
 
Posted by phoneking13 Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1351 days ago

Des anyone know if the Javelin will use the same charging cradle as the Curve, or will there be a new cradle like the Bold?

 
 
Posted by northstahr Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1351 days ago

Does anyone know what carriers will sell the Javelin?

 
 
Posted by sonny21 Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1351 days ago

Is this keyboard the same as this one?

http://crackberry.com/more-blackberry-javeline-images

Maybe it's just the picture but I like the keyboard of that one much better then this one posted today. I think it's just the picture quality though, but the one in that link I posted is the sweetest keyboard period.

What you guys think?

P.S. I hope we can get more info on bb 9220 which is suppose to be 3g version.

 
 
Posted by jujibee Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1351 days ago

beautiful.

 
 
Posted by glamcam Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1350 days ago

I must have it! I hope tmo gets it by Christmas time. It will be a sweet gift for myself. I've been a good girl this year.

 
 
Posted by Anonymous Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1350 days ago

Anyone know the Release date and Carrier??????

 
 
Posted by Navan Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 1350 days ago

When I'm up for upgrade I will def. get a Javlin if Rogers carries it!

 
 
Posted by CarBob Friday, Sep 12, 2008 1350 days ago

Hi Y'all,

In due course, probably Q1 of '09 - maybe Q2, rumour has it that the NIAGARA will be released. It will be like the Javelin, but will be a CDMA BlackBerry; have 3G, a better camera, better screen resolution, and a more advanced OS.

In the U.S., Verizon and eventually Sprint will be the carriers. In Canada, Bell Mobility and Telus will likely carry it.

Definitely worth waiting for.

Yo Carbob your a freaking dingus man. Verizon and sprint u.s carriers? They don't get blackberries till everyone else has them. Cept the storm. Tmo will have exclusivity on it first just like the 8220. That's what I heard from my girlfriends dad. I'm just hoping gay tmobile gets RIM to make them a 1700mhz bold like I've been hearing. I hope they don't take the javelin instead. The javelin is for ppl that don't live in 3g areas. Yea I think vodaphones going to be the first in the world to get it.

 
 
Posted by Vlad M. Friday, Sep 12, 2008 1350 days ago

Javelin is pretty sexy, may just because it's new and shiny...but I like it anyway.
Would prefer the Thunder though
Germany: need 3G, Javelin=no 3G, Niagara=only CDMA-EVDO, doesnt count :P we dont have CDMA in germany, so the only 3G is over GSM, 3G devices=Bold & Thunder, prefer Thunder of the two)

whats with the back of the jav? is it gonna stay like that or is it temp?

 
 
Posted by elya003 Friday, Sep 12, 2008 1349 days ago

Hey the screen says Rogers, but on the back it says vodaphone.

Must be official pics from RIM or a total scam!!!

....zzzzzzzzzzzz....

 
 
Posted by Anonymous Saturday, Sep 13, 2008 1349 days ago

They both look awesome, however, the bold is a little too large for my taste. That is why RIM needs to bring the Javelin over to T-Mobile when they release it! I'm def. looking forward to it!!

too bad no 3g
