If you’re getting excited to get your hands on the BlackBerry Curve 8900 (Javelin), it’s really only a matter of time now. Simon reported earlier today that the BlackBerry Javelin has hit Germany (T-Mobile), and now the good word is that the new RIM device has gotten the A-OK from the folks at the FCC.

The Javelin will be available on both T&T and T-Mobile. Exact launch dates of course are unknown at this point, but rumor has it that the 8900 will arrive at T-Mo as early as Black Friday (I can’t wait for Black Friday!). Don’t hold me to that date, however T-Mo folks can rest assured that they will get their Berry-lovin’ paws on the device well before AT&T peeps.

The BlackBerry Curve 8900 (Javelin) has been getting mixed reviews thus far, but I’m going to reserve my own judgment on the device till I can put it through its paces (as I should). BGR was busy giving it some props today, yet in Simon’s post earlier today, he reported that fellow blogger Volker Weber gave the Curve 8900 a very disappointing review… with key flaws, flimsy backing, poor camera functionality and strange positioning of the microUSB jack.
