"The BlackBerry 8210 and 8820 were said to look almost identical" ...<pedant> ... errrr ... the 8820. The one with a qwerty keyboard and isnt a clamshell? </pedant>
(I know, it's a typo, but it confused the hell out of me when the daily digest came through :). Mines the one with the curve in the pocket)
Its designed for people with no lives that have to be attached to e-mail 24/7, thats why the nicknamed it the crackberry and the users crackberry addicts.
When did an addict pay any attention to the design of anything?
Yeah, it looks like journalists on a whole don't seem to do research on Blackberry stuff before posting. Some twat on ZDNet was implying that the Kickstart, Thunder, and Javelin blackberries were all mere rumours, and that the Javelin was named as such to capitalize on the Olympics buzz.
And then implied that these rumours were leaks from RIM to generate buzz.
Shock! Blackberries that will be released within the year are being talked about?! WHAT IS THE INTERNET COMING TO?

Crap. Why don't they make sturdy casings? Sigh.

Nokia made an 8210 years ago. 100% re-cycled name.

Please don't tell me this is another phone artificially crippled. You want GPS? No wifi for you!

looks like a sack of shit. Boxy, flat, and whatever curves do exist are in totally the wrong place and look like they belong to a Motorola.
Hey, Blackberry, better luck next time.

So these articles on Boygeniusreport.com are just figments of my imagination?
First photo - 30th April:

More photos and the specs - 2nd May:

I expect a lot better from The Reg than lazy journalism like this.
