Small BlackBerry to contain the look and feel of the Bold, but far smaller

BlackBerry's been on a roll in recent months, with the launch of the Bold and Storm all taking up thousands of column inches here at T3 alone. The launch of the BlackBerry Javelin will be no different, set to launch at the end of December, on the 28th.

We've said nary a leaked photo of the Javelin, however it's due to be officially confirmed by BlackBerry this afternoon. It will be exclusive to The Carphone Warehouse according to our inside source at BlackBerry, and will be "the smallest of both the Curve and the Bold", and will boast "the sharpest screen, for brighter, crisper icons".

It will also feature a dedicated lock button, for locking all the keys when not in use. As you can see from the pictures in the gallery, it will contain the new 3D icons, as first seen in the Bold, plus a very similar keypad. Exact pricing is yet to be confirmed, and it will launch on the 20th of December.
