BlackBerry Javelin? I want one!



Posted by: Raj Perumal
RIM, BES, Bold, BlackBerry Javelin, 8900

So you may have heard about the pending new BlackBerry called the Javelin from Rim. I want one! A BlackBerry with the keyboard of my Curve but with a higher resolution than the Bold? I’m all over that!

 Unfortunately I hear it won’t support 3G but that’s the rumor for now. Apparently it will have a 3.2 MP camera which is sweet for the cell phone world. It will also feature GPS and bluetooth not to mention WiFi! I’m sure this phone will sell well in the corporate market. Sure the Bold is great and you can get it right now but as I’ve mentioned before, I’m not really partial to it. The smaller Javelin I think will definitely peak the interest of those BlackBerry users out there.

A few co-workers of mine are using the Bold and I have to say the display is excellent and the use of WiFi is cool, but I still love my Curve…..at least until the Javelin comes out! :) You can read more about the Javelin here.

-Cheers, RP

BlackBerry Bold



Posted by: Raj Perumal
BlackBerry, iPhone, BlackBerry Curve, Bold, BlackBerry Bold, Blackberry Bold WiFi

One of the latest mobile devices to come out of the RIM camp is the BlackBerry Bold. I personally use a BlackBerry curve but I have had a chance to check out the Bold and I have to say I wish it was smaller.

In this day and age of devices getting smaller and smaller it would make sense they would have made a device to trump the curve. Of course the screen is better, and it has WiFi now but I’m not a big fan of it’s size. Also the keyboard for me doesn’t seem as easy to use as the Curve’s although that would most likely be a personal preference.

What I do like is the inclusion of WiFi. More and more cell phone companies need to start doing this, not just on cool phones like the iPhone and the Bold, but also on normal everyday cell phones. Up here in Canada our cell phone costs are a lot more costly as compared to other countries around the world and I think a move to WiFi across the board would be a great idea.
