The Javelin is expected to be the non-3G version of the Bold and will be released in two versions next year in the US, which will feature either Wi-Fi or GPS access.  The device will otherwise feature identical specifications to the Bold with OS 4.6, half-VGA display, microSDHC expansion slot, media player, 3.2 megapixel camera with video recorder and flash, and Bluetooth.

It should be noted that the device up for sale on ebay is a test/prototype unit with Vodafone branding and is unlocked according to the seller.
