The BlackBerry 9630 is the Niagara, a Verizon CDMA World Edition BlackBerry

Posted by Mauricio on Feb 28, 2009 at 9:18 AM | Comments

blackberryniagra The BlackBerry 9630 is the Niagara, a Verizon CDMA World Edition BlackBerry

More information has been leaked about the upcoming Verizon BlackBerry, the BlackBerry Niagara 9630. The Niagara 9630 will be a Verizon World Edition BlackBerry. One gripe that many people will have is the Niagara’s lack of Wi-Fi. How could a new BlackBerry not have Wi-Fi? That’s a big turn off.

Recap on the details:

  • 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).

Who’s planning to get this BlackBerry?

By Al Sacco:

Just when it looked as though mean ol’ Uncle Sam was going to force Barack Obama to forfeit his beloved BlackBerry smartphone, new reports—and images—suggest that the 44th U.S. president may be able to hang onto his CrackBerry after all. For now, at least.

President Obama was spotted yesterday in Washington, D.C., walking the White House’s West Wing Colonnade toward the Oval Office with ‘Berry in hand. The specific device he’s currently using? A Research In Motion (RIM) BlackBerry 8830 World Edition from Verizon Wireless.
