FINALLY!!!!! What you're looking at above are the first real photos of the BlackBerry "Niagara" 9630. As you can see, this CDMA full-QWERTY BlackBerry is looking sweet and very much has the appearance of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 and BlackBerry Bold morphed into one. In the photo on your right, the 9630 is the one in the middle. I know these pictures are small and a bit of a tease...but don't worry, we'll bring you more soon! Excited much??

Who is going to be the primary carrier for it? Do we know yet?
In the US it will be Verizon...possibly sprint I suppose as well...but its a CDMA device, hence the xx30.
In the great white north, probably looking at a bell/telus deal.
sprint needs a new berry
I am not a fan of the african-american berry. If anything I would buy the new sprint palm treo PRO (the sister to the palm pre) b/c it has a similar setup to BLackBerry, but with a touch screen, I would like to see a BLACKBERRY with a design like the CURVE or BOLD keep the qwerty keyboard, and keep the screen the same size but have it touchable. I really havent used the STORM but from playing with my friends I personally didnt enjoy the moving screen, when you touch the screen it sinks down, I imagine many problems with that, they should have excluded the sinking AKA clickable screen on the storm MY OPINION and LIKE ASSHOLES everyone has one, so dont hate on me!!1

SPRINT
yeah it does take the best features from both and morph them into one device...
awetastic...
I couldn't agree more, my friend! I love the Bold keyboard, and while I love the design of the Curve 8900, it needed chrome instead of that painted silver stuff, thus, the chromed-out Niagara, just like the Bold. And if I am looking at the pictures correctly, the trackball is black. That is one of the Curve 8900's best design features, and it is nice to see it carried over to the Niagara.
The Niagara just totally came in and gave Verizon their OTHER AT&T/Tmo/Sprint BlackBerry killing BlackBerry!
Read that last sentence out loud, then it might make sense.
It's like an avalanche of awesome!!!!
MUST HAVE NOW!!!
when can i buy this baby... I neeeddd it...
Hello you lil bastered child !
This made me giggle!
OOOOH!!!
if only i didn't have a storm...
Looks good. But let's wait and see if it catches fire or has the same issues as the Orange issued Bold.
Finally a CDMA BB that matters! This looks AMAZING. Love the size.
Its coming to to verizon yay!!! I WILL be getting it!glad I didn't get that thunder or something like that?!
I REALLY like the bigger screen, and the way they stuck with chrome trim
I WANT IT!! Good bye Storm hello Niagara.
It's a good look so far. My only question is if they have addressed the on-board memory issue as associated with the bold. I personally don't have an issue w/ the bold form factor as much as i do with the lack of massively large apps(see the iphone) for it. Don't listen to your girlfriend, size does matter. Being a prior 8800 user the bold is a step up, so don't get me wrong. I just look for profection. On the glass is half full side, at least I have something to look forward too. It should be interesting...
PLEASE COME TO SPRINT!! I have had this 8830 for over 2 years now!!!
Come to Sprint.
i'll keep my Jav... that looks a little big for me... plus i hate Sprint, and strongly dislike VZW so i'm not switching to them.....
Isn't this the one that has no Wifi? When will a CDMA phone come out that offers Wifi?
Wi-fi is overrated. I have a 8330 and I get pretty good connection speeds plus, I am not tethered to a hot-spot and the cities I roam force you register or make you buy into their savings program in order for you to use wi-fi.
Wi-Fi is most certainly NOT overrated... especially when done properly for web browsing.
I know the HTC TOUCH PRO has wifi OR are you meaning a blackberry on CDMA with WiFi?? I am not a fan of the african-american berry.

The Storm was fun while it lasted. Going into early retirement.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
I was fortunate to unload my POS Storm two weeks ago. Just plain got tired of being RIM's Beta Bitch. It will be nice to finally have a real grown up BB without having to play "Simon says try this" with constant beta attempts to make a device right.
It looks real nice. But I think the Curve is sexier then the Bold and it has more of a bold outline to it. Aw well, cant have it all. Excited to see more clear shots :)
What a beautiful thing to wake up to in the morning! Got the Storm at release, maybe it will be time for an upgrade upon release of this little piece of equipment...
While late to the starting line, Blackberry has been piling on the high quality smart phones one after another. Where's Apple at??
I would be surprised if this didn't have Wifi. Seems like standard issue stuff at this point.
I want one now. I will be standing in line on whatever day this bad boy comes out.
FINALLY! I am very impressed with the device. Looks very slick and small!
Come to AT&T. Get rid of the stupid iPhone. I must have this phone NOW. Is the Curve 8900 in anyway capable of being transcontinental?
get a bold
get a bold
wow! this thing looks amazing!! CAN'T WAIT!
i. want. this. right. now. thanks. :).
will it run v4.7.x.xxx??
either 4.7.1 or 5.xx depending on release date
This looks great! I want it! I might leave my Storm for this!!!
Kevin do you have more pictures coming in soon?
With everyone on here all hyped up about this upcoming phone, I was really expecting something that was sort of outside the box with design and appearence. Looks like just another BB Curve to me.
I'll stick with my STORM.
GET JUST ONE OF THESE
Screw Verizon, they already have the Storm, give me the Niagara on Sprint!
I think this is the one I've been waiting for. Little worried about keyboard size because I love the Bold keyboard.
Seems from all of the "OOOOHHHH's & AAAAAHHHHH's" comments on here that you people would buy anything that said it was the latest and greatest no matter what it looked like.
That is clearly evident by the threads about a STORM 2 as well.
I am under the impression that I could take any of the BB's, polish it up, put a new name on it, tell you it was newer technology and you all would eat them up like a school kid at a candy store.
My thoughts exactly. I was thinking to myself how spoiled our nation is. It's all about the "I need this now" mentality.
