RIM’s BlackBerry ‘Niagara’ 9630 World Edition
Blackberry 9630 Niagara
Mobilewhack.com has this tidbit of info: Verizon plans to add another RIM phone to its BlackBerry collection. This time we’re talking about the BlackBerry Niagara which is supposed to be smaller than the Bold but larger than the Curve 8900. The Niagara will offer 3G connectivity via EV-DO rev A, a 480 x 360 resolution display, A-GPS, a 3.2 megapixels camera, a full QWERTY keyboard and RIM’s software: BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0 and BlackBerry OS 4.6. Now we need some pricing details and arrival dates and we’ll be good to go.
Other (old) info:
Additional features include:
* 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 a lot of buzz on the net about the Blackberry 9630 Niagara, and if Rim, etc brings it to fruition, it may surpass everyone’s expectations.
