What’ll be BlackBerry Niagara 9630 look like?

CrackBerry.com (the first BlackBerry Blog) dropped bomb about the first real photos of the BlackBerry "Niagara" 9630 out to day. As you can see, the “Niagrara” 9630 Featuring keyboard styling taken from its chubbier friend, the BlackBerry Bold, and the sleeker lines of the Curve 8900.


BlackBerry 9630 is Verizon's Niagara World Edition?

According a really trusted source, the phone will definitely be a Verizon World Edition with support for CDMA 1x, EV-DO Rev. A, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, and UMTS, though we’d bet the UMTS band is going to be 2100MHz only.

Will it have Wi-Fi?

Bad news: Though not all at surprising, it’s a disappointment that Verizon has seemingly decided to continue its BlackBerry-Wi-Fi-ban. To date, Verizon hasn’t offered one single BlackBerry device with Wi-Fi, even though many of the handsets it sells are available in slightly different models with Wi-Fi through other carriers.
Good news: Some Niagara pre-production units supposedly do have Wi-Fi, so other carriers could release Wi-Fi equipped versions in the future.

When will be BlackBerry Niagara 9630 launched?

The expected release date for the Niagara 9630 is late spring/early summer 2009, though that’s just speculation at this point. It also seems likely that Sprint will get some version of the Niagara shortly after Verizon does

And below is a quick list of expected technical specifications:

• The OS actually we’re told is 4.7.1 (but possibly, possibly, be OS 5.0 depending on launch date).
• No Wi-Fi.
• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support along with WCDMA support (bands not specified, but most likely 2100MHz).
• CDMA 1x/EV-DO Rev. A device.
• Release date unknown, but we’d say May/June if we had to bet.
• 3.2 megapixel camera (though we heard a rumor there might be a camera-less version, but that’s unconfirmed).
• The web browser supports JavaScript 1.6 (not huge news, but at least the browser is slowly improving).

There’s also a blurry video with the Niagara 9630 – it’s said the smartphone runs here on BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.10, which is so unstable that it won’t even start up:
