iDEN network subscribers can have their bit of festive cheer with this live shot of the Sprint BlackBerry 8350i, and this unit will apparently come with a 2.5mm headset jack - pretty strange move considering most, if not all popular headphones take the 3.5mm route instead. It will ship with a plastic holster instead of leather, saving the lives of a few bovines in the process.

The BlackBerry 8350i will also be (ever) slightly larger compared to other Curve models (8300, 8310, 8320 and 8330), being approximately 2mm taller and 1mm thicker. The PTT button cannot be reassigned as a convenience key, while the side keys lose their chromed look, settling for black instead.
