OK... So while the interwebs debates whether those photos of the BlackBerry 9900 are legit or photoshopped, here's some more undeniably real photos of the BlackBerry "Niagara" 9630. Another photo after the jump. This is the first photo we have seen of the Niagara with the device turned on. Cool!

Does the phone come with the cheetah too?
LO0OL...I guess not
it looks great!
no wifi logo on the screen.
It might not be turned on. There's certainly room for it.
I hope that it doesn't have wifi. I also hope they don't choose wifi over GPS for Sprint's version. Wifi just seems like a waste to me. Isn't that why I have a mobile network? I mean, I know wifi is faster, but come on...
I use my GPS on my 8330 all the time, and I would not buy the 9630 from Sprint if they include wifi and leave out GPS.
You've got to be kidding! Wi-fi is the opposite of a waste. It's MUCH faster and MUCH easier on your battery life than 3G, and it's nice to be able to have reliable data even in buildings where cell coverage is lousy. Why would you hope a phone comes without a feature? If you don't use the features it comes with, wouldn't it be easier to turn them off until you might need them than hope for a less capable phone?
And the latest BBs have both WiFi and GPS... you're probably not going to have to choose one over the other. The 8900 doesn't have 3G, but the Bold and Storm are quad band. I don't think this phone is set to be a step backwards. Time will tell though I guess.
There isn't a Bluetooth logo on the screen either. Must not have BT. ;)
it doesn't have a BT icon because it is probably disabled. If youd disable BT on the Storm or Curve, there is no more icon. Do you even own a BlackBerry qtstang462002??? Jeepers...
I believe that, judging by the obvious wink at the end of his statement, they were mocking the person talking about Wifi. I believe the question for you is Why do you care?
I will second the he was making a joke. So is it not 3G because it has 1X and 1XEV. You can't tell from a photo what it has for a hardware.
Google sarcasm
You're exactly right. When BT is disabled it is not viewable.
Looking at the port layout, Otterbox is gonna have their hands full trying to make a Defender case for this thing!
Otherwise, it looks Sexy...
more photos!
Nice Carpet....
you know it doesnt count if its the exact same picture twice right? hahaha way to go crackberry.
Just copy the image location and change it to "niagraon2.jpg"
It's only another shot of the back of the device. No carrier logo or anything.
this leads me to believe that this device is about a month away from primetime
What company will this phone be on. I heard a lot people say Verizon.
The --30 at the end of the model denotes Verizon. All the BB models that Verizon Wireless sells is 8130 (Pearl) 9530 (Storm) 8330 (Curve) 8830 (World)......just an FYI.
--30 denotes CDMA
Verizon or Sprint
I wish I saw a VZW Logo on it!
is there a VZW logo on the front of the Storm? NOOOO! it's on the back at the bottom. This phone IS coming to VZW...
your correct coldplay this phone is coming to VZW and its coming around May.
Can you verify that? Where did you hear the May release date, or is it just rumors?
There is no Wi-Fi on this one. You can tell about the OS screen. It only has (3G, CDMA)
You can see inside the phone? I don't see much of anything that indicates what it does or doesn't have on the phone. I see the GPS logo. I don't see a BT logo though so it must not have BT either huh?
Kevin please tell me that YOU were the one who purchased the phone off of ebay?!!
Looks like a trackball to me.
9630 not 9960
God I hope this comes out for Verizon & soon or I'm going to throw my Storm against the wall and start screaming. Any more details about release dates or providers? Thanks!
if i have a blackberry storm and want to upgrade to this do i have to pay full price for the niagara
Yeah, you have to pay full price, because you already upgraded. Unless you wanna wait [enter how many more months until eligiable for New Every 2], you have to pay full price. Unless you're eligible. But since you have the Storm, I doubt it.
Wow...I love my Storm, but the Niagara is lookin nice!
I want one!
@brianjking
I will see your storm-against-the-wall throw and raise you a tennis-raquet-smash-off-the-james-river-bridge.
I like my 8900 but if this has wi-fi heck yeah
Sexy...
Is the trackball actually atomic this time?? Hopefully they won't leave it out like they did on the 8900..
I like it!..when does it come out?
This doesn't look much different than the curve
This is looking very sexy way better than that 9900 or whatever. If I didnt love my storm so much I would have def got this but oh well there is always the 2nd geb storm....
what is that little zipper handle looking thing at the top right of the fone???
Will this handset be released in a GSM version for the UK?
everything the bold has +
bold keys, javelin size with nice material and finish
1.2ghz processor
1GB ram (for apps)
8gb internal memory + micro sd card
8 mp cam with auto focus and better lens + 720p video rec
2 mp front video conference cam
hd screen rez
FLASH support
ok ok ... a netbook in the form of a phone
double post
I would have high hopes if I think SPRINT will ever get this in a reasonable time
So which provided is it for?
Kevin--the time on the picture is 2 minutes before the post went up. Saturday, March 14th, 2:44pm... It's your phone, isn't it?
Nice rug, dude!
