BlackBerry Javelin 8900 Hands On

Our friend Kevin over CrackBerry.com has done it again, to get their hands on this pre-release BlackBerry Javelin 8900. Kevin has not dug too deep Javelin characteristics still offer the last word in the group, but his first impression of "Curve on steroids," and 'encouraging that want to feed the BlackBerry Bold a smaller frame. Here is a brief summary of the device:

Improved screen BlackBerry Bold. It's hard to imagine, but true. The Javelin 8900 has a smaller screen but higher resolution of 480 x 360 pixels.

A camera better than Bold. 3.2 MPX camera, where the class covers to protect the lens and the flash makes the Javelin a full Shutterbugs.

The keyboard reminds BlackBerry 8700 Navigation buttons are also smaller than the Bold, and you may be able to change trackball color gray or black.

A very different side of the layout. On the right side of the BlackBerry Javelin features a headphone jack and a micro-USB port, in addition to monitoring the volume and the key to comfort.

Great job Kevin! So you're a brave man Javelin now or pure?
