BlackBerry 9630 "Niagara" as the next-generation BlackBerry 8830 World Edition. It's hard to say which carrier will land this new device first, But Now we can say that Verizon Wireless launch this smart phone in May.

This time we have some release news for you, all you Verizon Wireless folks with dirty, battered and broken BlackBerry Curves may have cause for celebration if this latest rumor pans out. Word on The Street is the BlackBerry 9630 Niagara will debut on Verizon Wireless in May. This would place the 9630 launch a year after the Curve 8330 launched on Big Red and not a moment too soon for the Curve's early adopters. Perhaps not so coincidentally, WES just so happens to be in May so don't be surprised if the 9630 makes its first official appearance there. Unfortunately there are no words on pricing or any other details as yet — keep patience, young grasshopper.

The BlackBerry 9630 itself is really a mash-up of RIM's BlackBerry Bold, BlackBerry Curve 8900 and BlackBerry Storm. Size-wise it fits somewhere in the middle between the 8900 and Bold, and it shares design influences from both. Though smaller, the 9630's keyboard is of same style as the Bold, with no spaces between the keys and "guitar frets" between the rows. The 9630's display is the same as the Curve 8900's, as is the layout and type of ports/buttons around the perimeter of the device. And with the 9630 being a world phone, under the battery cover the 'guts' are basically the same as the BlackBerry Storm in terms of processor (528) and radios (though layout is of course different). And like the Storm and Curve 8900 both, the 9630 gets the new and improved 3.2 mega pixel camera.

Verizon Blackberry 9630 - The new BlackBerry 9630 Smart Phone AKA called Niagara, which is supported with CDMA 1x EV-DO Rev. It will be a "world edition" because it will support CDMA and GSM with variants of 3G for both standards. But does not support Wi-Fi and this is very disappointed that Wi-Fi is very important, especially for businessman.

The 9630 is a CDMA combination of the Bold, Curve 8900 and Storm, with the most obvious tweaks being to the size and the keyboard (both in-between the 8900 and the Bold) with the processor and radio of the CDMA Storm.

Currently the handset is running OS 4.7.1.10, which is less than functionally-ideal, so they'll be loading up a newer build to test out the software. As for the hardware, though, the 3.2-megapixel camera is a big improvement, though there's sadly no WiFi support.

Time to stop off this hands-on first look at the BlackBerry 9630 review and go play with it some more.

World's Largest Mobile Phones manufacturer Nokia has discreetly started promoting its upcoming flagship E-series handset, the E75 for prospective first buyers.

Other features including the 2.4 inch QVGA display and the 3.2 megapixel camera are the same as in the E71.

Squeezed into this compact shell are all the hallmarks of a leading Eseries device. The Nokia E75 comes loaded with the new Nokia Messaging service for slick email HTML email support.
