The BlackBery Javelin, the one that went for over $17k on Ebay, will, at some point, officially change names to the Curve II, says TmoNews via CrackBerry. While it’s not 3G, the Curve II does have a handful of under-the-hood improvements like a 3.2-megapixel AF camera, which will be housed in glass, Wi-Fi and GPS and a few other goodies. BBNews is also reporting that the Curve II will feature an “Atomic” trackball that’s “silky smooth”, grey in color and will not be affected by dust, dirt and other unwanted crap. Look for it in late November.
