When it comes to smartphones and cell phones, one size does not fit all. So while it might seem like everyone wants the BlackBerry Bold, Research In Motion knows better. Enter the RIM BlackBerry Javelin. This rumored smartphone is like the little brother to the Bold. It drops the HSDPA support but offers EDGE, Wi-Fi, and GPS.

The Javelin is also said to have a 512MHz processor and 256MB of flash memory under the hood, while rocking a 480x360-pixel resolution display like the Bold. Some say the Javelin is in line to replace the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8320 in T-Mobile's lineup, but there has been no official word from RIM.

I really hope they don't use a Micro-USB connector, please, use the standard mini usb.

like it but stil the iPhone is good enough for me.

This is all assuming they actually release the Bold one of these days!

Figures...the 3G goes to ATT, the B-line goes to T-Mobile. Time's a wastin', T...get that damnable 3G network that you've been promising FOR YEARS up and runnin'.

That really sucks that they dont want to put 3G on this one I really dont get it.. this ones keyboard is like 1000000 times better than the bold.. it should have 3G. That really sucks...

I hate how the main title says "Javelin to replace Bold" It makes it sounds as if the Javelin will actually take over the place of the Bold. Yet in the body of the article it clearly states the obviousness that each are replacements the 8300s and 8800s. Anyways, that just annoyed me. But yea, there are just trade offs with each. Javelin's 3mp/size vs. Bold's little bit faster processor/3G - keyboards are debatable. I hate how you have to make trade-offs like that. I'm just getting which ever is released first. I've been due for an upgrade for months and my Curve is aging.

I happen to have a Blackberry Javelin and absolutly love it. I owned the Curve previous to this one and it was also a good phone but I had to replace it 6 times in a year because if one thing wasn`t breaking it was another. Thank god my phone company likes me (Rogers). I`ve never had my Javelin glitch out or not funtion properly in any way. I love the way it looks sleek and sexy.

My kinda phone ;)
