The zany folks at CrackBerry have done the planet a kindness by posting up a short review -- though, it's anything but -- of RIM's newest unannounced set, the BlackBerry Javelin 8900. If you skim through the bit, you'll see words that hint they may like it, like "tight, sexy package" or "outperforms', though, reading more closely, we think they've completely fallen in love. The Javelin is compared to both the Curve and the venerable Bold and solidly trounces the Curve everywhere from screen, speed, OS, functionality, camera, form, and well, you get the idea. Even compared to the Bold it still stands out as being smaller, packing a better camera, more device memory, and even a higher resolution display. All these impressions are based on an early revision of the set, so we expect it'll get "awesomer" -- or something -- once it gets to retail. Follow the read link to get to the dirt, in this, the first of two parts on this new set.

Build a bridge and get over it!
You are (hopefully) not 5. So quit whining!
No 3g sucks, BB needs to get on the 3G train and stop messin' around.
just get the bold then if you want 3g.
Why would anyone expect the same trolling-fools at 'Crackberry', aka TreoCentral |The iPhone Blog | WM Experts | CentroSpot | Android Central to have knowledge resources deep enough to get anywhere past "awesomer"?? If they weren't shilling their grossly overpriced, Chinese-manufactured accessory-garbage, they would have no presence on the interwebs.
A pig doesn't change its lipstick!
I was gonna write endless praise, till that 'NO 3G' part came up.
What a waste of an otherwise perfect phone.

And where are we supposed to get this fabled "Bold". I talked to an at&t rep last week (business sales mgr) and he said "Definetly not October for the Bold. We are thinking right around the Holiday Season - Late November/early December"
Rumor has it that at&t refuses to accept the phone until the 3g chipset has been changed out because it isn't jiving with their network.
I looked up the first mention and accurte descriptions of the Blackberry 9000 with 3G just for fun. I was curious how long it's been and we still don't have it.
I was able to find mention of the "Bold" as a 9000, with 3G and accurate stats, as far back as early 2007.
For those of you living under a rock, it will be 2009 very soon.
