New images of BlackBerry Niagra 9630 surface
That’s right people, it’s getting closer. We can almost taste it now in fact. The CDMA answer to the BlackBerry Bold 9000 and Curve 8900 has just popped up in a new round of live shots, this time a bit more clear than the last round. We also get a pretty clear glimpse of the back this time around, which could be a good thing or a bad thing. Apparently the faux leather on the Bold battery cover isn’t polarizing enough so RIM decided to up the ante. Yikes. What do you guys think — love it, hate it or who cares just give me a sexy new CDMA BlackBerry already?! Hit the jump for the shot of the back.
Thanks, Will!

Sprint plz look at this c’mon… bring it
Um before ya start spouting check your facts.. This phone headed to verizon!
HOLY SHIZZLE!!! SPRINT better pick this up quick before they bleed to death, this would be one of the 2 reasons i’d stay with them (first being their Simply Everything Plan).
Everyone is whining about the back… PUT A FRIKKEN COVER ON THE THINGS IF YOU DONT WANNA LOOK AT THE BACK! There – easy as pie, problem solved.
I think the phone is a nice cross between Curve 2 as I call it and the BOLD.
Lets hope it does come to Sprint and has GSM in it too! I mean, why should the Storm have both and not the new Niagra
i really think is coming to sprint because if you guys haven’t notice sprint is not sailing the curve 8330 any more some maybe is because they bringing this phone to sprint.
You Sprint users honestly deserve this device…
I love it! Zach any new info on when to expect its arrival?
Dude check out crackberry.com , there’s pictures surfacing of a BB 9900 , a touch screen bb bold !
According to close sources that I know in RIM as well as Sprint, this device will be released to Sprint first if not the same time as Verizon. AT
Oh Shit! Zach we need info on this 9900 stat!
How do we now have live shots of the camera, but no *confirmed* specs?
Yes, keep em coming! Can’t wait for this phone to drop on big red!
Um, yea I’ll be purchasing that. Thx
I can’t wait to put a rubber on the back of that thing.
This phone is coming to AT&t and T-Mobile?
old news BG…ya sliipin son!
Crackberry mentions that the protective sticker in still on the back. The print may just be on the sticker. Im sure lots of people on Big Red will wait for this BB. I know Im glad I didn’t dive into a storm!
You BGR guys got scooped by Crackberry? Really?! That juvenile, classless, amateur-comedy-hour bunch of misfits? Say it ain’t so!
Hmmm sorry to anyone who says this isn’t a verizon phone ur crazy the back carrys the qualcomm cdma sticker and also carries the 30 model trail which is usually the designation for cdma devices hence 8130 8330 9530 8830.
white trackball?
im pretty sure the back will not stay glossy black. when crackberry did its first review of a bold brought on ebay, it also had the glossy back cover.
No Wifi is a buzz kill based on what’s leaked regarding this model.
the back is not carbon fiber, it looks like theres a blue tint plastic cover on it that you’re supposed to peel off. after that i think its a mesh like backing with a lot of holes.
^Just as RIM did with (p)leather on the Bold, it could be faux-carbon fiber.
@ StevenGlansburg
LOL this version of the Niagra will NEVER come to AT&T or T-Mobile duh, put 2 and 2 together. This phone is CDMA and the latter carriers are GSM. Now, if and when they decide to release this with GSM compatible hardware is something else.
