From the desk (and BlackBerry) of Keith Parnell

The folks at BerryReporter are reporting a leaked date of February 11, 2009 for the T-mobile release of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 (Javelin). I reported here last month the date would be February 18th so that wasn’t far off. I’m ready!

See the Javelin’s spec sheet here.
