New Blackberry strongly resembles Nokia E71

Images and first-look reviews of the BlackBerry Javelin are starting to creep out. This would be the successor to the Curve.

Now, I use a Nokia E71 - a very fine phone in my estimation, but a device that tends to elicit comments along the lines of "Oh, is Nokia making BlackBerries now?". Fair enough comment, but to my eyes the Javelin looks like RIM's been taking design tips from Nokia. The device does look remarkably like the E71, except slightly fatter. Oh, and without 3G. But with a better camera.

Funny old world...
