Here's a couple new pictures of the upcoming Blackberry 8900 Javelin. The device has some decent specifications, and if the lack of 3G suits you, than this handset may be just the one you're looking for.

• HVGA+ (480x360) display;
• 512MHz processor;
• 256MB of flash memory;
• microSD expansion;
• Wi-Fi with UMA;
• GPS;
• 3.

According to BGR, the upcoming BlackBerry Thunder for Verizon will bear the model number 9530, which proves its belonging to the 9500 series. They have also confirmed the release date, which is October 13th. So it's just two months left to wait...

RIM has suddenly decided to rebrand its BlackBerry KickStart 8220 clamshell to BlackBerry Pearl 8220. The reasons that prompted RIM to make this move are so far unclear, but who cares, right? :) Anyway, there will be two similar models available, the 8820 with Wi-Fi radio on-board for T-Mobile and the GPS-enabled 8210 for AT&T. The choice is yours...

Today Verizon has announced the upcoming Friday's release of the BlackBerry Curve 8330 in Pink color. The price is $99.99 after rebate on a 2-year contract.Sorry, I have nothing else to say on the subject...

According to BGR, the new Blackberry Kickstart will soon be available from the largest Canadian GSM carrier Rogers. The release date is not confirmed yet, but it's a matter of weeks... Rogers will also launch the Motorola ROKR E8 for $99.99, the Samsung T336 for $49.99, the Sony Ericsson Walkman W760a for $79.99, and finally the Sony Ericsson W350a for $29.99 - all with a 3-year contract.

Briefly: the new RIM Blackberry Bold is now available in Chile for around $588 on contract.

Still no word from AT&T, unfortunately...

As expected, T-Mobile USA has released the BlackBerry Curve in Sunset color.

Specifications and pricing did not change.

The device is available now in selected stores and online for $149.99 with a 2-year agreement.

 

Kevin Michaluk over at CrackBerry has made a 9 minute video preview of the upcoming Blackberry KickStart 8220 clamshell. A very nice piece of information considering that the phone is not yet available. Enjoy!

Australian carrier Telstra announced it will be bringing the new Blackberry Bold to its network in late September. While it's noticeably later than the global summer release, the handset will be available at no cost for business customers when it goes on sale in fall.

Reportedly, T-Mobile will start offering a customly painted Blackberry Curve within a week. It will come in sunset color, but won't feature any hardware or software updates. As usual in such cases...

With the Blackberry Bold making its way to the forthcoming release, we don't think this one will gain much popularity. Still, if you like it, don't forget to visit T-Mobile's website on August 4th.
