BlackBerry NIAGARA
Hi Y'all,
Has anyone heard, if and when, the BB NIAGARA is going to be released by RIM?
Is May/09 of Q2 still the latest info? And will it be coming to Verizon, Bell Mobility, and/or Telus? Thanks.

isn't it like a bold/8900 hybrid looking thing?
- 02-23-2009, 06:37 PM #5 That's the 9220. This is just a CDMA Bold. Originally Posted by asylvia

Man I hope soon cause even though I love my Curve 8330, I need a new berry.

Take a look at the Crackberry and Boy Genius Report blogs. They pretty much say the Niagara will be "bold-like" and talk about the "hybridity" of the Niagara.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com - 02-24-2009, 07:48 PM #23 I was told "with confidentiality" (lol) by a Telus rep in early February that Telus would be getting the Niagara "sometime in March". Hopefully that is true. In the meantime, I constantly struggle with "should I get an 8330 now to tide me over, or wait for the Niagara"? I could probably handle the wait if March is the real date. But if it is April or May... grrr! Originally Posted by rnicholls8

The Niagara will be the closest thing a CDMA carrier will have to a Bold. It will have the styling of the 8900 and the Storm, but will be bigger, closer to the size of the Bold. One thing to be especially excited about for those on VZW is that it will indeed have wifi and 3G. Projected release is end Q1 2009, with Verizon rumored to be landing it first.
What if there were no hypothetical questions?
