this is one of the worst photoshops i’ve seen a in a while.. keyboard from a 8320, screen from who knows what and a blurred out section where the call/end call/bb button is.

@Richie
Stupid Bold? Just to let you know. The Niagara is going to have the same freaking featuresas the Bold, the only thing majorly different will be the 8900 Curve style rollerball, and the unusuable locked down by VZW GPS.

Looks like the screen resolution is less than the 8900, so NO THANKS!!

It’s really not that ugly. Especially if you consider that it’s probably missing it’s faceplate… I think that this is an iteration of the 8320 and it will end up on t-mobile usa. It’s basically the 8320 repackaged with os5, which could be compelling if you wanted a cheap blackberry. (there’s this thing called the recession, and a lot of companies are looking to save $$) Also, rim can probably build this cheap due to the fact that they already have most of the hardware in the supply chain.

Lol finally, a blackberry that will find its way into preteen pockets across the nation, because they all really need constant email connection!

Yeah, I’m just being stupid… poking fun at the typical jerk off that doesn’t actually read the article and always asks “WHEN IS THIS COMING TO VERIZON?”

i would also like to add that this device might be for t-mobile. Hence the xx20. T-mobile Blackberry devices- 8320, 8820, 8120, 8220, now the 8520… so this is coming to t-mobile…

This is Ugly and not worth my money or the banks money, lol not worth buying. Changing face plates? it reminds me of a sidekick. I rather wait for the Niagara 9630, now thats a device worth buying. Bye bye stupid Bold, here comes your competition

Maybe we can toss in a few $million to put these in the hands of every bushman in Kenya!

It’s ugly because it doesn’t have a face plate on it… Wait until some kickass faceplates come out.

EEEWW! Why would they make this device? The 8900 is good enough! I love my Blackberry Curve 8900! I’ve had the Bold, Storm, and even the Flip and nothing beats the 8900. Ugh!

It’s not, but not as ugly as the Pearl Flip.

I can’t keep up with RIM’s model numbers and codenames… Aren’t they all just either a Curve, with new some new stuff in it?

Let’s figure this out? Why RIM?

Let’s hope this is a rumor started by some premature ejaculating fatties in their parents basement.

For all those who believe in tooth fairies wait on this one to hit up your local AT&T stores!!

A device doesn’t have to be an upgrade from the most recent release to have value. I like that bb is finally introducing devices that have differences, from the flip to the storm to the new qwerty devices, options are a great thing.

Can you answer this: If you know carriers like Sprint take forever to get BlackBerries, then why do you stay with them? Why not switch to either AT&T or T-Mobile? You can’t say you’re stuck in a contract, cause once they expire, switch! Why stay??!?!? They can’t really be the only carrier with coverage in your area.

Knowing Sprint we will get this a few months after Africa.

By: Jeff

Maybe AT&T will get this instead of the 8900, keeping their choices of Blackberrys between either 2 1/2 year old technology or the Bold.

how low is low cost for this one? would it look better in reality or does the pic represent it well?
