Shots of the BlackBerry Niagara 9630 finally caught
So this CDMA BlackBerry device has been running around for a while without any definite photos of it. T-Mobile was blessed first with the Curve 8900 which took the design of the original Curve to a whole new level. But it looks like the wait is over and someone managed to nap a shot of the BlackBerry “Niagara” 9630. Although the pictures are not as detailed as we hope, it gives us an idea of how it compares to the BlackBerry 8900 and the Bold. And if the photos are true, we’re excited to see the sweet industrial design in person when it releases. The 9630 is expected to be a CDMA/EVDO plus GSM global phone and to be offered by Verizon Wireless and probably Sprint.

Even though I hate Verizon, I'm glad they're getting a good phone. I'm also glad the 9630 looks more like the 8900 that the 9000. I'm disappointed, though, that it probably won't have Wi-Fi.

So I'm leaving for Rome on 04/27 and will be there for 12 days... any chance I can ditch the BB Curve and get the new Niagra before I leave so I can have emails/calls with me??

No wifi?

Seriously, stop with the "no WiFi" comments. Verizon and Sprint haven't hand WiFi on any of their 3G BlackBerries (and no, the 8350i iDEN BB does not count) and odds are they won't have it on any in the future (at least on their CDMA networks). Though your opinion may differ, they believe their 3G networks are big enough to not require WiFi (thus reducing costs and size) since you're forced to pay for data for the device anyway. Their 3G networks are much bigger than AT&T and T-Mobile, so I found that WiFi was unnecessary when I had the Curve on Sprint and the Storm on Verizon before trying out the Bold on AT&T and now on the Curve 8900 for T-Mobile.

Even if their footprints are bigger why cripple it? What about inside buildings were wifi is prevelant and signal isn't? In my experiences in areas of wifi it runs just a little faster as well and who doesn't want that????

if you want wifi use a laptop

14. *HOVA* posted on 09 Mar 2009, 13:38

Yea because that's convenient to carry around a laptop because your phone doesn't have wifi, brilliant idea.

15. vzw fanman posted on 10 Mar 2009, 13:58

a lot of people carry around cell phones with wifi and laptops

Okay. We all know that you all want WiFi on your BBs but we all know that with Verizon, it just ain't going to happen so get over it. If you want WiFi then go to a carrier like AT&T and may G'd be with you because their service SUCKS!!!! Also, for anyone who ever has used WiFi, you will know that it will suck every bit of life out of your battery in a hurry. Verizon's CDMA 3g network is just fine and I have had no issues. Just bring this bad boy on already. I know that it will be a cold day in hell when I go to the Storm. WAY too many issues.

Well for all your storm haters on here that also think you must have wi-fi, it is in fact wi-fi capable on Verizon Wireless. Too bad you still have to have the data package on it which is one in the same with every carrier that does offer wi-fi on their phones. Btw - Omnia - Wi-fi capable, Saga - wi-fi capable, HTC Touch Pro - Wi-fi capable, bb8330 - wi-fi capable if you know how to make it work, and wait until you see the rest of the smartphones launching this year that will also all be wi-fi capable.
