New Curve 8900

[Prjr25]

When will the new curve 8900 be available for VZ customers?!?!

I am wondering the same thing.  I need to purchase the Curve or the Bold as soon as one is released.

My Pearl just doesn't have the memory.

cant wait for the new ones to come out. Went and tried out a storm and i just couldnt use it. i gotta have the full keyboard i guess.

Keep checking VerizonWireless.com to see if a date has been set.  As far as I know, nothing has come up as of yet regarding release dates.  Even if an employee DID know the date, they would lose their job for telling you that information anyway.  Be patient, I'm sure it's coming!!

BoyGeniusReport.com has some good insider information on new equipment for all carriers.

The 8900 definitely will not be coming to VZW. We're getting something better.

"Niagra" is the code name, model # 9630. It's basically a cross between the Curve 8900 and the Bold.

Look for it 2Q sometime, word on the wire is May.

nmchileman, I hope your right.  I've been looking for a used Curve, but maybe I'll wait a little longer.

Does anyone know what the niagara is going to look like? i wonder if its going to be worth the wait

The guys over at Crackberry.com have some good images and well as a two part initial review of the Niagra 9630.

It's a really nice looking piece of hardware. Check out the site.

It looks almost identical to the Bold, but about the size of the Storm.

  I'll be trading my Storm in for one...... and then trading that in for the new Storm, rumored to be out in the fall with WiFi and more!

hey i tried out the Storm.....wasnt feeling it...ive had my share of touch screens and you seem to never be able to whip it out and send a "quick" message....like you can with the curve or a blkberry with actual keys...! and then again maybe its bc of the size of my fingers....LMAO

[kidcounzlr]

yeah i peeped it on "phonearena.com".....its scheduled to come out in May! it does kinda have a "Blkberry Bold" appearance to it...i personally think the 8900 version of the curve is pretty sick...with the "Storm" look....! TMobile already has it...i looked at it and played with it...of course verizon's version of phones are always a bit better or diff than those that release prior...but it gives you and idea of what to expect...! either way...im excited!!!!!
