Holy crap! Right after putting his Javelin on eBay, BlackBerryForums member fr0zen posted some amazing photos of his Javelin.

Keep on reading to see some amazing pics!

iPhone, Javelin, Curve, and Bold. Note how the 3.5mm headphone jack is on the right side of the Javelin, right above the volume rocker. Could this create some difficulties with headphone cables getting in the way?

What do you think of the Javelin now that we’ve got some really clear pictures of it? Would you rather have a Bold, Javelin, both, or neither?

Thanks, fr0zen!

  • I'll take both thanks!!

    The alure of that half-VGA screen on the Bold is undeniable. But Javelin looks to be the far "sexier" device.

    OBTW, I hate this rush to 3.5mm. Why? What was wrong with 2.5mm? What do I get besides a hole in the side that's twice as big? Why do I need either???
  • helmdawg
    I cannot wait for the Javelin release. Hopefully soon as I am out of contract now looking for my next BB!!

    RIM is trying to grow in the consumer market. Phones, especially ones like the curve and upcoming javelin, are very popular in that market. Putting in a 3.5mm jack for headphones only makes sense.

    It's a very nice device. Reminds me of my old Nokia E61i, that was a slick phone.

    I've been doing an informal poll of high end phone buyers, people with PDA phones, etc. and of the 500 or so people I spoke to only about 14% liked the look of the new BOLD or JAVELIN. I don't know, but food for the thought...

    @DavidB:

    First, rumors are that the Jav screen is actually slightly higher res than the Bold.

    Second, "What do I get besides a hole in the side that’s twice as big?" ... That's what she said.

    Is it me or does Bold seem old before it's avail in the U.S.? It's pretty chunky (8800 size) and actually a little thicker (depth wise). I love the jav form factor & 3.2 MP but if rumors are true about 3G only smartphones on att, then I'll need to switch to TMob. Can't wait for 3G Jav there, Chelsea will be in the oval before then given how long it's taking them to get out the Bold.

    I'd rather have the Nokia e71.

    DON'T BE A FUC*ING RETARD! IT'S SO YOU CAN USE EVERYDAY HEADPHONES!
  • The 3.5mm jack is normal. With that on the right side is not. ;-)
  • Nice site. I'll definitely be back. All the best, Jovanni
