Maybe we'll see its by Christmas? Doubt anytime soon. It'd be an idiotic move on Sprints part to put this out when their flagship phone, the Pre, is coming.
2010 no doubt, though. No doubt.

I don't care much for Palm or Sprint. It just makes absolutely no sense to release a new phone when they want all eyes on the Pre.

Ok, Sprint can hype up the Pre and advertise out the bum. Meanwhile, don't advertise the Niagara but just do a surprise release. See what happens...just cause a Pre is the ONLY new phone at the moment doesn't mean people are going to buy it. Does it?

Yea it doesn't make since but they shouldn't wait until may/june for the pre to release a phone. It would be better to have a new phone out about every 3 months or so that way you can always capitalize on new customers.

None of you seem to realize, besides mguth, that Sprint is a business, and like any other business they want money.
Therefore, they make more money pushing the Pre till they can't push it anymore, then bring out the Niagra and push it till they can't push it anymore.
They need to focus on new and current customers. No one will switch to Sprint because of there *sarcasim* "awesome phones. " *end sarcasm*
There will be no early release. Its the Pre or nothing for awhile. Its high time we all just accept it.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com | The business you speak of is one that doesn't like to make money. A business is about making money. Providing its customers a variety of options to suit different needs. Not to force feed all customers one thing simply because that's what they like to do. While I do agree it "might" not be the wisest thing to launch them at the same time, launching them fairly close will only help business. Not everybody likes BlackBerry's, just like not everybody likes Palm. But for a business to not cater to both likes for the hopes of making money and riding one device until its done doesn't make dollars or cents(pardon the pun). As long as there is some space in between launches, they will be fine. But they are a business, and the more new products they have, the more chance they have of making that almighty dollar.

CX, come on. You know as well as I do that we won't see a new BB till they think they can't sell anymore Pre.
Actually, you really don't have to agree with me, because we both know that Sprint will focus 100 percent on the Pre. It's sad, but true.

Remember what Sam said to Frodo in Lord of the Rings? "I can help. Share the load." Well, that's exactly what the Niagara is saying to the Pre.
The Pre can't carry precious Sprint all by itself.

It's all speculation now, no one knows who will have the Niagara, and when they will get it. It's ALL rumor at this point, ONE of which is even saying Sprint is getting it FIRST. But none of us will know anything till a provider makes an announcement, which has NOT happened yet!

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com | No, he doesnt know that. And neither do you.
This isnt a competition. Sprint understands the difference between a touchscreen consumer oriented 'lifestyle' phone and a qwerty world edition device aimed at business customers.
Will they cannibalize customers from each other? Probably. I know I am interested in trying both. Will Sprint sell more phones overall by offering both, definitely.

Well its kinda depressing when you think about how. A whole area of devices are neglected. For any reason. If the phone is perfected and left alone for us here at forums to spread the word that's one thing but if the phone is in desperate need of attention. How can they just keep losing money by replacements after replacements? They have a good business mind but can be very dumb when it comes to certain things!

Lol okay guys. I may not be 100 percent right, but I'm willing to bet we won't see a new Berry till Sprint is finished with the Pre.
If Sprint new how to market phones and run a business well, they wouldn't have bleed so many customers, now would they?
They're sure as **** not the smartest out their, so we'll see if they can tell which way is up.

Sprint will be releasing this phone sometime between July 1st and September 30th, 2009. The Sprint version will be better anyway because they do not screw over the customers when it comes to getting the best out of a phone.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com | In my mind, and I certainly may be wrong, the Palm Pre and most Blackberrys (except for the Storm), essentially cater to 2 different markets. Even if Sprint launched the Pre and 9630 at the same time, I think that Pre people would buy the Pre, and 9630 people would buy the 9630. Conversely, I don't think that most 9630 people would buy the Pre simply because the 9630 wouldn't be out yet.
