RIM have steadily been changing the face of their flagship Blackberry mobile phones to match today’s custom designed phones. With the 8900, RIM have come up with a unique combination of power packed into the slim and curvaceous body of the phone. Throw out that brick once called the Blackberry and welcome the Curve with a full QWERTY keypad, brilliant screen and full email features.

The Basics:

Design and Display:

For the features it packs in, the Javelin comes with just 110gms of weight on it. But the highlight of the design is the curvaceous compact body with a glossy exterior and a chrome finish. The phone comes with a full QWERTY keypad, with keys that are comfortably placed and a trackball that ensures effortless navigation. The keypad also has a backlight that flares up in dull environments.

The 2.4 inch high resolution TFT screen supports 65k colors.

Multimedia:

The phone comes with a 3.2 MP camera that is capable of capturing both still images and video. The camera comes with standard features like a LED flash and auto focus to get the best images even in adverse environments.

The Javelin is not just a music phone but is also meant for entertainment. Now you can enjoy your favorite music on the built in media player. The high resolution wide screen makes the movie watch experience a pleasure with the player that supports formats like MPEG4, DivX, XviD, H263 and WMV.

Organizer and Email:

As with all blackberry phones, the phone comes with a great organizer which is as good as your own valet, who takes care of your schedule and all your appointments.
