The BlackBerry 9630 Niagara was leaked to the Web recently in a new series of photos, following the first images that surfaced earlier this month. At the same time, a video featuring the CDMA-equipped mobile phone is also available for those who would like to have a glimpse at how the device looks and moves.

The new series of photos that surfaced these days show the BlackBerry 9630 Niagara turned on. At the same time, the device seems to feature a battery slot on the back that's slimmer than in current models. These pictures come from the Crackberry forums and seem to be rather blurry, yet we're still hoping that RIM will finally decide to show us some official photos of the device.

The video with the handset mentioned above comes from the same CrackBerry forums, and, although its quality is not the finest, we can still see the BlackBerry 9630 Niagara in action and make an idea of the way the phone is able to move around. And it is a little more than what the leaked images are able to provide us with.

From what we've learned, the Niagara that can be seen in this video is not running under the OS 4.6 that is available on Bold; instead, it features the OS 4.7.1.10. The handset is stated to actually come with a Bold-like keyboard, although its keys seem to be a little bit smaller.

For what it's worth, the OS of the BlackBerry 9630 Niagara wasn't such a stable one, the device wasn't fully powered for the entire tour of its software, and the video is pretty blurry, yet there is a lot of new info on the device that everyone would like to take a look at. Hopefully, it won't be too long before we'll have some official details on the Niagara released into the wild, but until then you might wanna check the video below to have a glimpse at it.
