BlackBerry Javelin 8900 Reviewed

Hardware Reviews - By: pdaBlast! Staff - September 22, 2008


The BlackBerry Javelin isn't even out yet and it's already being reviewed. The Javelin hasn't even been officially announced but CrackBerry got their hands on a pre-release model and decided to give it a run through.

The basic consensus in the review is that the Javelin is simliar to the Curve in size, but blows the Curve away in almost every area. The Javelin is small, fast, has a better screen and camera. Check out the link below for the review.

  • Quad-band radios: GSM/GPRS/EDGE (no 3G)

  • 512 MHz Processor

  • Hot-swappable microSD slot - located under the battery door
