For all of you lucky dogs that have the Javelin already, how are the latest OSes working out? Any problems? Why are updates needed at all anyway? Please let us know as soon as you download and install the all-new OS version 4.6.1.152 for the Curve 8900. I haven’t kept up with the forums lately, [...]
DavidB let me know about a good video comparison between the 8900, Bold, & Storm by MobileChic. While checking it out I also noticed that there are quite a few other video reviews on YouTube comparing them. If you are in the market and looking to see which device is better check out the [...]
The last time I mentioned an OS release here, you gave me flack because it was an official release and it wasn’t “new enough”. Heck, then take this: a very new and very unofficial release of OS version 4.6.1.144 for the Curve 8900. The novelty has just been announced at the CrackBerry forums and can [...]
Seidio let me know that they have just opened up preordering for their Innocase II hard-case for the new 8900 Curve. It comes in 5 different colors and there is a combo to get the case along with the holster. I personally have been loving the Seidio holster on my Bold so I can recommend [...]
T-Mobile announced yesterday that they now have 32.8 million customers as of the end of the fourth quarter and have added 621,000 new accounts during that same quarter. That does not stack up well when compared to the 2.1+ million accounts AT&T added that quarter and the 1.2 Verizon added.
I guess that means that the [...]
Our buddy Kevin over at CrackBerry did a nice compilation of all the 8900 reviews that have been published recently. I thought they were worth mentioning since many of you are considering picking one up soon.

ColorWare has been pimping out custom paint jobs for BlackBerrys for awhile now. Sarah just let me know that they are now offering their pricey paint job for the brand spanking new BlackBerry 8900 Curve. (Though for some reason they are calling it the BlackBerry Curve 2nd Gen)
The custom paint job will set you [...]
Our pals at DigitalMofo & Asif pointed out some links to newer OS versions for the 8900. With the 8900 just starting to show up stateside I thought it would be worth a mention. Not sure where the links originate from so I cannot vouch for them but it may be worth a try. I [...]
It looks like T-Mobile is offering a daily prize to a lucky winner of 6 BlackBerry 8900 Curves with 3 months of T-Mobile service. These devices are for you and your 5 “MyFaves.” You need to sign up by entering at the bottom of the page and putting in your info. It asks for [...]
Super sleuth Michael York spotted a AT&T 8900 Curve at the BlackBerry booth during CES. It looks like AT&T might be getting the 8900 after T-Mobile even though it does not have 3G. I guess they realized that the 8300 series did them very well and this is just an evolution of that fact. [...]

Oliver let me know that Vodafone has released OS 4.6.1.109 officially in certain countries for the 8900 BlackBerry Curve. Not [...]
Peter from BPlay just let us know about their newest, animated theme called Deep Blue 2.0. This is their first theme for the new year and it’s definitely a great way for them to kick off 2009. Available for 8100, 8220, 8300, 8800 (except 8830) and 9000 devices, Deep Blue’s main screen features a soothing [...]
Surprise surprise. T-Mobile has officially announced the 8900 Curve (aka Javelin) to be released sometime in February. I am just hoping that the February 11th rumor pans out! The BoyGenius seems to already caught one spotted in a store. Nothing really else new other than the fact that it comes in Titanium and supports [...]
Stephen over at BerryReporter caught a screenshot of T-Mobiles upcoming 8900 Curve formerly known as the Javelin. This new device looks like it is coming to T-Mobile USA on February 11th. Here is to hoping this is right since T-Mobile users have been left out in the cold with recent device launches other than [...]
Zach over at the BoyGenius scored a nice screenshot of T-Mobile USA’s upcoming roadmap for Jan-Feb 2009. It shows the 8900 Curve coming to T-Mobile on February 18th! Nothing much else of interest but this answers the question many of you T-Mobile fanboys have been asking. Yes the 8900 will be coming your way [...]
Another update from the thread on Howard Forums by Clearskies08. It looks like FIDO will be getting a 82XX, 8900 Curve, & 8110 Pearl around February~April 2009. Nothing crazy there but FIDO has been due for an handset refresh of their Berry catalog.
Mauricio let me know that the Carphone Warehouse has started selling the 8900 on O2 and Orange. This has been quite a slow launch for the 8900 so I thought it was worth mentioning. They are offering it free with an 18 month contract. I doubt it will be that cheap once it comes [...]
RIM has now published a Demo for the 8900 (Javelin) which follows the same flip page styling as we have seen for the Bold Demo. Not only have the released a demo for the 8900 but also the for the 8220 Pearl. Like previous demos, it covers just about everything to get started with using [...]
It seems that the guys from Elecite/eVeek are showing us ladies some love. Well, technically this lady has always liked their themes but this one is surely more geared to us girls. Called, iHeart, the design on this theme features luminous violet cosmic images set with cool looking icons. The font, as you can [...]
Our buddy Kevin over at CrackBerry spotted some new tutorial videos on CNN.cn detailing how to disassemble the Storm and 8900. Nothing crazy here but if you wanted to see the guts of a Storm or 8900 check it out at the links below:
