This one has me excited because I’ve always been a fan of my 8830 World Edition even though its been replaced by several newer models. Boy Genius got new details about the rumored BlackBerry Niagara, which in the past was rumored to be called Bold 9030 or 8930. Well it’s not going to be either according to one of BGR’s sources, the BlackBerry code-named Niagara will be modeled 9630 and seems it will pack tons of stuff except Wi-Fi. The Niagara is gurentueed to be a World Edition BlackBerry featuring CDMA EV-DO with Rev. A, Quad-band GSM with EDGE for roaming, 3.2 megapixel camera (with possibly a camera-less model), and OS 4.7.1 (maybe even 5.0 depending on the release date). Also the browser should be a little more updated to support Javescript 1.6 (that’s a little better)… As for a release date the source could not confirm that but with any luck at all you will see it around May or June on Verizon and possibly a few others? ;-)

News has arrived about Verizon’s upcoming BlackBerry plans. It’s no secret that Verizon will be getting the Pearl Flip soon, however according to Boy Genius the Pearl Flip has been removed from their upcoming device road map. This could mean one of two things, either Verizon has decided not to launch the device (not likely) or that it will be launching VERY soon. But for those that are looking for more of a business device have we got good news for you! Remember the BlackBerry code-named Niagara? Its the cross between the Curve 8900 and Bold 9000. This will be the other device that Verizon will be launching. Niagara is rumored to be called Bold 9030. It will a little bigger than the Curve, however smaller than Bold and will feature a Qualcomm MSM7600 processor with a large high resolution 480×360 display, full QWERTY keyboard, EVDO Rev. A, aGPS, 3.2 megapixel camera, and will run BlackBerry OS 4.6. The only sad news is that Boy Genius does not currently have a release date for either of these devices. Previously the BlackBerry Niagara was rumored to launch sometime around May 2009 (possibly at WES 09?). Stay tuned we will update you when new info becomes available…
