CDMA2000 has a relatively long technical history, and remains compatible with the older CDMA telephony methods (such as cdmaOne) first developed by Qualcomm, a commercial company, and holder of several key international patents on the technology.

The CDMA2000 standards CDMA2000 1xRTT, CDMA2000 EV-DO, and CDMA2000 EV-DV are approved radio interfaces for the ITU’s IMT-2000 standard and a direct successor to 2G CDMA, IS-95 (cdmaOne). CDMA2000 is standardized by 3GPP2.

CDMA2000 is a registered trademark of the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA-USA) in the United States, not a generic term like CDMA. (This is similar to how TIA has branded their 2G CDMA standard, IS-95, as cdmaOne.)

CDMA2000 is an incompatible competitor of the other major 3G standard UMTS. It is defined to operate at 450 MHz, 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1700 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz, and 2100 MHz.

The BlackBerry Curve 8900 is a new mobile phone developed by Research In Motion. Its project name was Javelin. The official release on T-Mobile USA is February 11, 2009.[1] It was first thought to be a part of the latest 9000 series phones, however it was revealed to be an 8900 series due to the lack of 3G, unlike the BlackBerry Bold, and will officially be called the BlackBerry Curve 8900.[2] The Curve 8900 is a Quad-band GSM/EDGE phone, unlike the BlackBerry Niagara which is an EV-DO device, both with WI-FI and GPS. In the Blackberry model lineup, the Curve 8900 appears is a replacement for the very popular older BlackBerry Curve 8300 and appears to be an upgrade in most all aspects and features. The most significant differences to the recently released and related Blackberry Bold is the Curve 8900 is smaller and has a better camera, but lacks the faster 3G support of the Bold. Other less significant differences compared to the Bold are smaller but higher resolution Curve 8900 screen, different USB port (mini vs. micro), Curve 8900′s smaller keyboard, Curve 8900′s improved “Atomic” trackball, Curve 8900′s less impressive speaker performance, Curve 8900′s more internal memory, Curve 8900′s slightly slower processor, and a speculated lower price for the Curve 8900.
