Before solid info about the specs of the new BlackBerry 9000 came out, I’ve already heard a gamut of rumours and speculations within the span of a few months. I believe I speak for the majority when I say that the specs make the handset look promising; aside from the 2-megapixel camera, of course. If you ask me to name its best feature though, I’d have to say it’s the 3G connection with tri-band HSDPA support. But wait, what’s this? It seems BlackBerry’s stripped that spec altogether from a couple of its devices.

To be able to extend the BlackBerry 9000’s customer range to the, uh, more financially-challenged, RIM is developing TWO 3G-less versions of the smartphone. The two devices with the codenames Javelin and Niagara share the same looks, differing only in their specifications.

BlackBerry 9000 “Niagara” info:

• “Large screen family”
• QWERTY keyboard
• 480×360 LCD
• EV-DO Rev. A
• aGPS
• 3.2 megapixel camera
• 4.7 OS platform
• BES 5.0 support (HTML email, etc)
• Qualcomm MSM7600 processor

BlackBerry 9000 “Javelin” info:

• QWERTY keyboard
• 480×360 LCD
• Quad-band GSM/EDGE
• GPS
• Wi-Fi
• 3.2 megapixel camera
• 4.6 OS platform
• BES 5.0 support as well
• ArgonV processor

The Niagara seems to be the more advanced between the two, boasting assisted GPS, a higher platform and processor specs, and EV-DO Rev. A connection (which I suppose would do if 3G isn’t involved). One funny thing I’d like to point out is that RIM placed higher camera specs on these supposedly more affordable versions of the BlackBerry 9000 than its 3G version. Niagara would reportedly be released by Verizon on May of 2009. Hold on, is that a year from now? Those waiting for the 3G BlackBerry 9000 could only hope it’ll be released prior to that, or else who knows how long you’d have to wait.

Yes, we know, the HTC Touch Diamond is yet to be released. However, being touted as iPhone’s fiercest competitor thus far, it’s all the rage nowadays—not that I’m complaining; it seems to be quite promising. And indeed, the folks at CNET Australia seem to agree; based on their review of the handset, at least. CNET is all praise for HTC Touch Diamond’s interface and aesthetics, stressing the need for both for a smartphone to really hit it big.

However, just as the CNET review lauds HTC Touch Diamond’s user interface (TouchFLO 3D), the reviewer is also critical of the lack of a tactile keypad. Not that the iPhone needed any to be popular, but since the handset is somehow similar to Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X1, the lack of a physical keyboard is a disadvantage. Those who’re disappointed over the feature (or lack thereof) need not despair though; HTC is reportedly improving the smartphone’s on-screen keypad interface. Bottom line of the review is that the HTC Touch Diamond is a mashup of the iPhone and the Xperia X1 and is actually “a product capable of superseding them both”—whether it will or will not though, remains to be seen.

My friend’s got a Blackberry and the nicest feature I like about it is the built-in trackball. I find this much kinder to the fingers than the iMate Ultimate 8502′s joystick – yes I have delicate fingers, gotta problem with that?!

Delicate fingers aside, the new BlackBerry Curve 8330 will be available via U.S. Carrier Verizon in May this year. In a nutshell it has email, phone, organizer, camera, video recorder, Internet access, supported mobile streaming and GPS capabilities. Too bad about the no-WiFi…
