Some additional information about the CDMA BlackBerry Bold has trickled out, including a model number: 9630. Currently packing OS 4.7.1, the Niagara should be landing on Verizon and be dual-mode (running on both EV-DO rev. A networks and UMTS). Bad news? No Wi-Fi. Ugh, that’s just plain silly. The Storm really sucked it up for, among other things, not having Wi-Fi, and yet RIM continues to insist that the Bold is the only BlackBerry that should have it all. Bah. Additional features include:
* The OS actually we’re told is 4.7.1 (but possibly, possibly, be OS 5.0 depending on launch date).
* No Wi-Fi.
* Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support along with WCDMA support (bands not specified, but most likely 2100MHz).
* CDMA 1x/EV-DO Rev. A device.
* Release date unknown, but we’d say May/June if we had to bet.
* 3.2 megapixel camera (though we heard a rumor there might be a camera-less version, but that’s unconfirmed).
* The web browser supports JavaScript 1.6 (not huge news, but at least the browser is slowly improving).
The Niagara name has been floating around for some time now, and continues to be aimed at a May launch. Maybe we’ll see something at WES…?
