Three BlackBerry Javelin 8900, now named Curve 8900, have been spotted at an airport by CrackBerry author Kevin Michaluk. A French variant with an AZERTY keyboard was present between the normal QWERTY keyboards-bearing 8900.

The Curve 8900 is known as the Bold 9000's mini version, with all the style, but only few features missing. The phone features a 512MHz processor, microSD memory card slot, a display with 480×360 pixels of resolution, and a 3.2 megapixel camera.

The Javelin should be the more-affordable version of the Bold, and it should appeal to the businessman who is used to BlackBerry phones, and wants something more comfortable, especially to use as a second phone.
