Kevin’s not the only one with the up-and-coming BlackBerry 9630 Niagara – Boy Genius has his mitts on a working unit, and gives us a quick run-through of the browser, address book, and messages. To be honest, we aren’t expecting anything especially surprising in the operating system, but a solid spec sheet would certainly be nice. Regardless, the hardware looks nice, packing the slimness of the Curve and the keyboard of the Bold, and should be a solid addition to RIM’s CDMA lineup. If this is the BlackBerry for you, last we heard, the Niagara would be landing on Verizon in May.
