The question on the minds of many is what is the difference between the Blackberry Javelin and the Blackberry Niagara. We can now stop wondering, because the Boy Genius has answered the question.
Well the Blackberry Niagara is going to be the EV-DO version of the 3G-less 9000. The Blackberry Niagara will come out for Verizon in May 2009. This phone will have the following features:
“Large screen family”
QWERTY keyboard
480×360 LCD
EV-DO Rev. A
aGPS
3.2 megapixel camera
4.7 OS platform
BES 5.0 support (HTML email, etc)
Qualcomm MSM7600 processor
On the other hand, the Blackberry Javelin is the GSM version. This one will have the following features:
QWERTY keyboard
480×360 LCD
Quad-band GSM/EDGE
GPS
Wi-Fi
3.2 megapixel camera
4.6 OS platform
BES 5.0 support as well
ArgonV processor
Hopefully these phones will be more affordable than the 9000 with 3G which is slated to be over $800!
