BlackBerry enthusiast site Crackberry has managed to procure an unannounced quad-band GSM smartphone from RIM that is said to be the spiritual successor to the popular Curve 8300-series, currently being referred to as the BlackBerry Javelin 8900. Though its form factor, screen, and non-keyboard face buttons are reminiscent of the company's flagship Bold 9000 handset, the keyboard itself more closely resembles that of the Curve or 8800-series. However, its components, such as a 512MHz processor,  a 480 x 360 display, and both 802.11b/g WiFi and GPS, are more in line with the former model -- save for the lack of 3G -- with some, including the 3.2-megapixel auto-focus camera, even besting the recently-released Bold. Whenever it starts shipping, this device will reportedly be powered by the latest BlackBerry OS, version 4.6.1, and sport 256MB of flash storage.
