Specifications questions - I have almost made up my mind
- I wrote in another thread that I am losing patience with my Pearl. I really want to wait for the Javelin, but I don't know if I can. So I spent several hours researching, trying to figure out what I would be giving up, if I got the 8820 now. Here are my findings. I hope others find this useful as well
.........................8820.......................Bold........................Javelin
Processor.........312mhz......................624m hz....................512mhz
Screen............320 x 240.................480 x 360..................480 x 360
Wi-fi..................Yes..........................Y es.............................Yes
Memory(not sure)..64MB...................128MB............... ..........256MB
Connectivity.......EDGE........................3G. .............................EDGE
World Roaming.....Yes.........................Yes....... ......................Yes
GPS...................Yes......................... Yes.............................Yes
Ok, so it seems other than processor speed and screen size, there won't be much difference between the Javelin and the 8820. So, if I can live with those two things, should I get the 8820? I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE CAMERA!
Would I be giving any cool features? Would I be able to watch YouTube, etc? Basically, what exactly would I be giving up if I went with the 8820 and decided to not wait for the Javelin? Thanks for your helpLast edited by Carboran; 08-18-08 at 12:42 AM.

Are you getting an upgrade? If not, just buy the 8820 off Ebay for a cheaper price and then buy the Javelin when its released.08-18-08 12:30 AMLike 0 - GarzRetired ModI wrote in another thread that I am losing patience with my Pearl.

Javelin having 4 times the device memory and much quicker processor are the two biggest things from the 8820. I hear the Javelin is really nice!08-18-08 12:31 AMLike 0
