Research in Motion's upcoming BlackBerry 9000 may be a little bit too expensive for you, but there may be something that would make the device become an option if you have any plans of getting a new BlackBerry.

According to the stolen shots of a conceptual sketch of what seems to be the BlackBerry "Niagara" - and some rumors that accompany them - RIM is going to launch a BlackBerry 9000 without 3G.

A BlackBerry 9000 without 3G means a cheaper BlackBerry, of course. However, what are the other features that are removed from the Niagara? We can't tell from the conceptual sketches yet, not even the images can confirm that 3G is not included with the Niagara. But it is assumed to have pretty much the same specs as the original version of the BlackBerry 9000.

So what does this mean for the consumer? If this Niagara does exclude 3G from its features, it's going to be a viable option for those who do live outside 3G coverage. More details as they come!
