Finally, an honest to goodness picture of what may well be the sweetest BlackBerry RIM has pushed out to date. Featuring keyboard styling taken from its chubbier friend, the BlackBerry Bold, and the sleeker lines of the Curve 8900, this certainly looks like a recipe for success. If you're a BlackBerry user on Verizon, we'd say major celebration is in order if this wanders your way in the near future. We still only have the info we posted last week about it, but as the hype spins up, we expect the leaks will, too.
I'd gladly give up my Curve and Bold for that one!!
**waits to here the whine's about no-wifi**
OOOPS, I meant Curve and Storm*
I don't know what is the big deal with this one BESIDES it is the only NEW BB on the VZW line that has a qwerty.
Is there going to be something more special with the Niagara over the Bold, Storm, or Curve?
im disappointed i wated the curve 2 and while this takes some design from the curve 2. it has the bold keyboard.
I HATE THE BOLD KEYBOARD
I dont like the Bold keyboard either....or any palm keyboard. I Only like the curve's...Now if there was only some way that i kud have a E71/Curve type keyboard and id be happy
^Because the overall width of the 9630 is closer to that of the 8900 vs the Bold, the general shape of the 9630's keys may be similar to the Bold, but it certainly cannot be the same keyboard contact and feedback.
the issue with it the bolds keyboard was all crammed together sideby side. i remember when i tried a bold i barely felt like i was pressing the buttons. curve 1 and 2 u FEEL urself pressing the buttons and theres the space between each key not mmuch but theres some. i prefer that i hate the bolds keyboard
Unless you were to hunt-n-peck, I'm not sure how one can perceive that the Bold's keys are too close together. The keyboard is split down the middle with the right side sloped downward to the right, and the left half sloped downward to the left.
Blackberry keyboards have always been very subjective, where one person's perfection is another's pure hell. Personally, I absolutely hated the Curve's keyboard which was why I had to skip it altogether.
WHY DO ALL THE BLOGS KEEP SAYING VERIZON?!?!
ITS COMING TO SPRINT TOO, DAMN.
LOOK FOR BLACKBERRY's ROADMAP.
IT FRUSTRATES ME YOU FORGET ABOUT THE OTHER CARRIER.
noone puts sprint in a corner.
It's because no one likes Sprint. Even Dan Hesse hates Sprint.
