I know there are a bunch of you out there in the Crackberry nation that have an 8900 already in your hands and was wondering if any of the Curve 8300 series accessories fit it (skins, holsters, ect). The size and shape between the new and old seem to be very similar and was wondering if I could use some of my old stuff on a new one (hopefully soon!). Thanks
Hate to break it to you. Even if the Javelin was compatible with the accessories of the Curve, the thinner, lighter, slimmer Javelin would just fall out of the skins or wouldn't feel that nice. The difference doesn't look like much but it's noticable.
Sorry, but I asked the same thing not too long ago... here is the thread: http://forums.crackberry.com/f100/cu...uestion-87854/
BlackBerry Curve 8300 series accessories are not compatible with Javelin 8900.
Curve 8300 charging port - miniUSB
Javelin 8900 charging port - microUSB
Curve 8300 battery -- C-S2
Javelin 8900 battery -- D-X1
Battery doors, skins, charging pod are all different for Javelin 8900.
Good to know. I was wondering the same thing.

Does anyone know if anyone makes an external keyboard (to type long e-mails, notes in class,ect) that has a micro usb plug for the new BB???
OR is there an adapter to turn miniusb into microusb???
actually just found this.... http://www.motorazr.com/content/acce...5-19--3062.htm
but still looking for something native so I dont need to carry around an adapter
Any idea when RIM is going to have holster available for the 8900. Lots of people in Canada now getting them and I can't even get a holster. I tried it in a 8300 holster and the slight dimension difference definitely made it a little lose.
Blackberry and Crackberry have holsters, or at least some type of case for them... try using Google.
i had a pearl before so im just wondering but will a screen protector from an 8300 work of the jav...i know the resolution is higher but i dont know about physical size
I think it's a wider screen dude. Won't be long though....somebody'll have one out
It's a higher resolution, but the screen size is suppose to be the same, but I don't have one myself so I can not state that as a fact.... that was what I was told here on the forum.
The phone also doesn't lock when you use the 8300 holster =\
Im currently using original bb 8300 holster, it seems to fit fine just it does not lock when it is put in
n e one have any info on when OEM holster for jav will come out??
I'm using the OEM 8300 holster for the 8900 and it locks the phone when holstered with the screen facing in. Give it a try.
