Blackberry Javelin gets release date
By Benny Har-Even,
Carphone Warehouse has said that the Blackberry Javelin will be released exclusively in its stores just in time for Christmas on 20 December 2008, with the moniker 'Curve 8900'.
Carphone Warehouse could not confirm to IT PRO anything regarding pricing or the network carrier, but did say that the Javelin will have the, “sharpest screen, for the brightest, sharpest icons”.
At first glance the Javelin looks similar to RIM's Blackberry Bold, featuring a Qwerty keyboard and a trackball. It also has GPS with Blackberry Maps and a 3.2-megapixel camera on the rear. However, it is intended as an entry-level product and lacks 3G connectivity.
IT PRO posted some exclusive first look pictures of the Javelin back in September, when we caught sight of it at NetEvents, in Faro, Portugal.
