    I've read in several places that VZW will be releasing an 8900 series Curve, dubbed the Jupiter. Is this true? If so, where did you get your info?

    The Pluto is already the name for the 9900 I'm pretty sure.

    Pluto is rumored to be the ultimate Palm killer, right? Touch screen, keyboard combo?

    Jupiter is just the CDMA equivalent to the Javelin...which is the 8900 series Curve. That's all...I'd expect the "Pluto" to be at least two years away (sadly).

    FYI, Palm is already dead, for those seeking a "palm-killer". Google Palm Q4 report.

    Judging from some leaked info if true, I would get a Pluto in a heartbeat. Touch screen and a physical QWERTY. I can only drool.

    The Javelin and the Niagara are the code names for the GSM and CDMA 8900 (Curves). I don't care for the Javeline which looks to first be launched for T-Mobile, The Niagara if you go onto the FCC website you will notice that its coming for both Sprint and Verizon and that they are 2 other Blackberrys that will be making an apperance on the Sprint Network.

    Hey Pitts, Shock, sorry to burst your bubble but I know you guys know how to search...

    The Niagara is the CDMA version of the Bold. It's also taking the place of the 8830. There are also plans for a CDMA version of the Javelin which will replace the 8330.
    Well, the codename for the 8900 was the Javelin which was changed to the Curve 8900. The codename for the CDMA version of the Javelin is the Jupiter.

    Edit: The Niagara is "slated" for Q1-Q-2 '09, but it could be later.

    Thanks for correcting me. I thought I was correct in another thread that the Niagara was the Bold CDMA but someone said it wasn't

    Sounds to me like this Jupiter is going to be the exact same style as the 8330 but a little faster. Bleh

    I'm pretty sure the Jupiter is the CDMA equivalent of the 8900 which is rumored to come out in early 09. I don't anticipate it will be any different from the current 8900 except it may be 3G (I hope) as the 8330 Curve is 3G CDMA version of the 8320 Curve.

    Speculation is fun!

    The CDMA version of the Jupiter (next curve) should be ready by apr/may 2009 from what I hear.

    I know Rim has already got the chipset working and its plugging along on the OS should be a faster turn around time for a CDMA unit. Remember verizon just got the curve last year and alot of people were unhappy it took that long for what most people see as a radio swap (not aware of the massive OS changes CDMA brings)
