Is this a cdma phone? If so i would be able to connect it to metropcs and it will everything will work normally on the phone? like there wouldn't be a certain feature i dont have because it's on metro? as far as reception and where i go to make calls that doesnt matter for me i stay in miami i dont travel anywhere so metro is perfect for me. i just want to know if it will function exactly like its suppose to? THANKS!!!!
Well, as of right now im hearing June 26, or beginning of July...so very soon... but just like the shitty storm it might get pushed back a bit...so keep ur fingers crossed.. and sorry for the late reply!
lol! ok if ur still waiting for it, the official release day is July 14th/15th! i think right not there is a picture of the phone on the Telus website!
noway thats crazy ya i was reading somewhere online that it could use both cdma and gsm networks im not sure how it will work up here in canada cuz i talked to a sales rep for telus which is like yur verizon down there which runs on cdma and says they are goin to get the 9630 and tallked to a rep at rogers who runs on gsm network and they said they havent even heard of it coming out yet and he said it will probably come out next year up here lol...
how u get yurs so fast? has it come out in the states already? i asked sales reps up here in canada and they havent even heard of it or when its coming out....
Obviously it's not happening in May. There would have been an official release date weeks ago. They probably would have even been taking pre-orders by now. So far Boy Genius is reporting likely July now.
It's possible that it's a world edition CDMA smartphone, in which case it will have a SIM card and the necessities to log onto a GSM network when taken internationally, but nonetheless, Rogers will NOT get it.
ACTUALLY, the 9630 is a CDMA-specific phone. It is basically the CDMA-networks' version of the Bold. As Rogers is basically a GSM network, the 9630 will NOT work for it. The phone will likely go to Telus or Bell.
That's EXACTLY what I'm saying. The 9630 will NEVER come out for Rogers Wireless.
But maybe it will in a different incarnation, like if they ever make a 9600, 9610, or 9620. Those are not even known to exist, even in the RIM labs yet, though, so don't get your hopes up!
The 9630 is actually supposed to be the CDMA version of the Bold, and we've actually got the Bold right now, which is 3G, if you want it. It's a bit larger than the 9630 from what I can see in the videos, but I use it as my personal phone, and I got used to it very quickly. Try it out in the store and see for yourself. It will be the closest thing we have to the 9630 for a long long long time.
trust me! its coming out for sprint and verizon,,i just came from the marketing confrence in salt lake city.. we got the palm pre,and the htc touch pro 2 and also the a new windows mobile media player to kill the i-touch.
The word is Canada will get this latest Blackberry device first in Early May, and the usa will get it in early june/july. Understandable that Canada would get this device first since RIM makers of Blackberry is a CANADIAN COMPANY!
There has been no official release date on this phone yet. Hopefully, Rim will announce the release of this phone during CTIA this week. You can expect to see the 9630 codenamed "Niagara" with all carriers who sell the 8830 World Edition. To answer your second question, YES Verizon will carry this phone.
who ever is interested in purchasing the NEW black berry storm UNLOCKED starting at $99 only shipping to USA auction is going to end in 24 HOURS.. so hurry up and check my listings on ebay .. id is norjal786
Can't wait to get this phone in May when it releases... I'm sick of my LG Dare and I want to sell it so I can get a Blackberry, but since this is coming out so soon, I'll just wait another couple of months.... Any ideas on price? I COULD sell my Dare now and get a Storm or Curve, but I'm sick of touch screens and I love the Niagara's look, so I'll be waiting...
I know how you feel I have the 8830 I wanted to upgrade to storm but yep it did suck. but I would want to wait for this one you can always get some cheap unlocked phone for couple of months I think this looks like a perfect balance not too big as bold not to cramped as curve in between with better camera and screen size
I think the phone looks amazing if this is the final design. It's just like the Storm with a full qwerty. My only complaint is that the rear battery cover is not the same color as the surround for the camera. It looks like the battery cover isn't factory. I'm still going to get it b/c the Storm is a pain in the butt.

P.S. its like the 8900 and the Bold put together.
