I am still missing the draw to the Javelin but I guess we need something to rumorize about. Engadget Mobile got to videotape the BlackBerry Javelin again. Once again it seems to be a dummy device. Once again nothing really new.

First things first. No we do not know where to download OS 4.5 for the 8830. With that done Matt just sent me an image that he posted on CrackBerry forums of his Verizon BlackBerry 8830 running OS 4.5. The specific version is OS 4.5.0.33. In guess Verizon is testing out the new OS. [...]
