The guys over at Boy Genius have managed to get their hands on a BlackBerry 9630 before the official launch and have a pretty comprehensive review. The device that they’ve been playing with isn’t a final release, so there are bound to be a few bugs that get fixed.

They say that you can literally think of the BlackBerry 9630 as a BlackBerry Storm with a QWERTY keyboard. The device seems pretty solid and it looks like Verizon has a winner. The one big downside that is pretty obvious is that the phone lacks Wi-Fi.
