New Javelin pic

[laurent08]

The Javelin looks awesome (now that ive seen a comparison shot), if there is a 3G version of this, it trumps the BOLD, otherwise I feel the Bold is the way to go ...

I assume the reason why it isnt 3G is because of battery life, they wouldnt be able to fit a 1500Mah battery in there!

Edit: Paul: the Bold and the 88xx are quite similar in size.

I agree

Its good to see the green number keys arent on this particular build. As long as the keys still have a bit of space between them i will be a happy camper. Looking forward to more pics.

If you look at the thread I started, l there are better pictures that show the key spacing. I don't think it's that bad. Or are you looking for comparison pics of the keys?

This definitely looks sexier than the Bold. Can't wait!

[FearlessBill]

Wow!! this will be my replacement to my iphone 3G(touch screen typing too slow) should've wait it for the BOLD oh well.

I might need glasses but it looks smaller than the curve in the pics of it beside it...just a larger screen...maybe you need your facts checked.

@ J MC

I love the passion you have for this device...
I am looking more towards the bold, and heres why.
1.) Size
2.) Keys
Really the Javalin is a beautiful device...But, and I say BUT as in my opinion...The keys look like the Curves keys, and I find the keys to be somewhat troublesome for someone with well I guess larger thumbers (no offense intended.) to type with less errors.
And if its thinner, I don't know if I would like it thinner than a curve. It might give off the feeling of being a toy, or flimsy build quality of sorts.
Again this is MY opinion, seeing as I have not yet held one, it is subject to change.
*Note the Specs are amazing - regardless*

It looks like they aligned the screens but if you look closely the Javelin goes past the curve on the bottom. The alignment of the screens is a bit of an optical illusion.

Well I have thin fingers and I like smaller devices in general, easier to slip in your pocket while at a club or just out and about.
I will grant you that the smaller size "may" lend to it "feeling" flimsy but no way to tell from a picture lol

Not sure who you were addressing, but the article for this already mentions that.

FACT: Smaller than the Curve, bigger screen.

I don't have like sloth from the goonies hands...
Really my opinion is groundless.
Its a Rim device so the chances of it feeling flimsy are pretty unrealistic.
Either way my hands would be happy to hold, abuse and cherish.

Man...I can't keep up with all these releases. I will definetly get the Bold, have to see what the javelin is presenting later on.

Best,

Otto

Agreed!
So are you sending them an email so they send us out some test units?

@ tsheidt: you're just a regular everyday genius aren't you? Have you held one of these in your hand? Have you personally compared the two devices? Nah, I don't think so. I on the other hand have. Also, I said the were basically the same size. I said the Jav was thinner, but bout same size as curve. ****, the Jav might actually be a tad bigger. That picture is decietful. It makes it looks smaller than it really is. OH, that's right, you already knew that huh? Wow.
