The BlackBerry Niagara 9630 which has so flagrantly been making the rounds lately, has found its way into CrackBerry’s hands, for a nice, long go-over. As you can see, it’s got a lot in common with the Bold, and a lot in common with the 8900 Curve, with some slightly new battery door stylings. A lanyard hook and new speaker ports are some of the minor adjustments we’ll be seeing on the 9630, but it’s really going to be the software that we’re holding our breath for. The OS is still too buggy to test out, but at least we’ve got it confirmed on Sprint for Q3. As nice as it is, I bet Kevin totally photoshopped it. I could make one of those out of cardboard in 8 minutes.
