BlackBerry takes aim with the Javelin

The Javelin is set to take over from the BlackBerry Curve sometime next year, but that hasn’t stopped its specs slipping out onto the web. Although it’s not been officially acknowledged yet by its maker, RIM’s latest offering is shaping up to be a slick little multimedia packed mobile phone.

These spy shots, courtesy of Tech Radar, show the sleek new look for the Curve replacement. Under the hood it’s rumoured to pack a speedy 512MHz processor and 256MB of onboard storage. If that’s not enough, there’s a MicroSD card slot for expansion, which you’ll probably want to make use of as it’s packing a 3.2 megapixel snapper.

It sadly doesn’t pack 3G, but you can still jump on a fast Wi-Fi connection when you’re in range of wireless coverage.

Satnav sense
You’ll never be able to use the excuse you got lost for turning up late anymore as it comes packing a GPS locator inside.

Coming out: Early 2009
