Tons of info emerges for Javelin, Thunder

Posted by Joe on August 11, 2008

We’ll start off with the Javelin, even though most people are most enamored with the rumored Thunder. Why? Because there’s a ton of new information regarding the non-3G device…enough to make us think that the lack of 3G won’t be that big a deal. The detailed shots, which will appear after the jump, make this look like a next-gen Curve. They keyboard is in the Curve’s spitting image, certainly. You can see all the specs on the images, but for a quick rundown: 256 MB onboard memory, 512 MHz processor, 480 x 360 resolution, WiFi and GPS, and a 3.2 megapixel camera.

I’m also digging the dedicated lock button. It definitely saves those of us who sometimes forget to lock via the keyboard, and end up making a number of unwanted calls.



In Thunder news, Boy Genius Report (who else?) lets us know that the Thunder will be the BlackBerry 9530. Better yet, it’s eyeing an October 13th release. Just over two months away? Happy happy joy joy. And yes, the naming is still in question. Thunder or Storm? Or just the 9530? With two months until launch, you’d figure we’d get the official announcement in three, four weeks. Guess we’ll have to wait ’till then.

I want a new phone. I have a pearl and wished I would have waited for the curve. I love the blackberry phones need an upgrade. Is the bold and 9000 the same phone? Is there a blackberry touch screen? What the difference between the curve and thunder? Please help me figure out should I wait for a better phone to come out.

Yes, the 9000 and the Bold are one and the same. There is a touchscreen BlackBerry on the way, but only on Verizon.

The difference between the Curve and the Thunder? Well, beyond the touchscreen, well, that would be an article in itself.

[...] listening’s not your bag, you can nab the info on the Javelin and Thunder in text format. There’s also info on the Nextel BlackBerry 8350i, and a seemingly untrue [...]
