Blackberry 9630 Tour pre-release thread (Formerly Known As The Niagara)

**DennyCrane** · 03-16-2009, 02:40 AM

I just got to a computer and watched the video and the back looks a lot better than the pics. But what I really like is that the whole thing comes off and could be replaced by a completely different battery door. I figured just the centre part would be the battery door. I can't wait for the release!

There was more images of the Pluto this weekend:

lol yea i know but still i want thep luto but i was hoping it would be like a treo as opposed to this stupid surepress crap.

and no trackball is a terrible idea

Riley, i doubt that image is even real !

**some-gei** · 03-16-2009, 04:01 PM

Yeah I doubt they are real as well. But I don't know how necessary a trackball would be with the touchscreen anyway.

Sprint's leaked roadmap pegs the Niagra coming q3

and im 90% pumped because im still aching to get rid of my pearl...

the Pluto does look cool though... kind of. Still not a fan of touchscreens but it has a physical keyboard. Cant complain!

**chrisnach** · 03-16-2009, 06:16 PM

The pics of the Pluto werent even real

**RileyFreeman** · 03-16-2009, 07:39 PM

wether those images are real or not. its on rim's roadmap for this year. so the pluto is a real phone with a keyboard and touchscreen modeled after the bold.
it just better not be stupid surepress touchscreen

**chrisnach** · 03-16-2009, 09:26 PM

I'm guessing it will be surepress. That's RIMs "thing." They're trying to offer something different than all the other touchscreens out there. Whether or not it's needed is a different story

That seems to be the new thing, different is more important than better.
The niagra is seeming to be for the people like me who would be looking for a good old berry, being as that at first glance it's alot like the current curve.

Pluto and storm are for those trying desperatly hard to rise above the iphone because everything seems to be an iphone killer for too long now!
Because I'm personally looking for a phone that functions in meeting and in life without making me look like a total ...
I don't think there is a forum friendly word that finishes that sentence

**Guest 113** · 03-17-2009, 10:01 AM

until a carrier comes out with a screen just like the iphone whenre you touch.. and not have to PRESS down .. nothing will be an iphone killer..
