Getting all the cool phones :(

But I am still super-excited for the TOUR!!!!

Well the picture of the Onyx just looks like a blacked-out 8900 to me...

The others are clearly just placeholders, but compare the keyboard on the Onyx here to the keyboard on the Onyx Crackberry reviewed, they're not the same. I actually really like the keyboard on the 8900, so itd be nice to keep that, but I've not spent a lot of time with the Bold, so I could be wrong.

I get the impression these slides are a little on the "older" side, back when R&D still had the devices.

The keyboard doesn't look identical to Curve 8900, looks more like a total hybrid of Bold and Curve 8900 keyboard. Which I think looks nice actually. I wonder if it's a rejected concept.

If they're going to be on AT&T then we're getting them as well here on Rogers ... Awesome !

I find it interesting that the Onyx looks the same as the one reviewed above with exception of the keyboard. It seem's Curve-esque in this photo.

WTF? has at&t gone mad?? VERIZON !!!!!
Who cares about at&t Verizon has the TOur, the Aries 8530, the Unknown Atlas & the Storm 2.

 
 
Posted by blacktoothberry Sunday, May 24, 2009 1094 days ago

Storm 2 in NOT exclusive to Verizon

 
 
Posted by blackberry-pimp Sunday, May 24, 2009 1094 days ago

Well I guess this will put to an end to everyone that said the Magnum was supposedly a full touchscreen phone.

Interesting that these devices are slated for the common UMTS/HSPDA frequency bands I,II, V (incorrectly shown as 1,2,5) but not the T-Mobile US band IV allocation.

 
 
Posted by mmaestro Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

At least of the Onyx, I'd thought T-Mobile were getting a version with UMA support.

 
 
Posted by Propa Sunday, May 24, 2009 1094 days ago

thats why im wit at&t...we get all da good shit

 
 
Posted by Stang68 Sunday, May 24, 2009 1094 days ago

Except the good service lol

 
 
Posted by blacktoothberry Sunday, May 24, 2009 1094 days ago

and you get overpriced service and bad coverage

 
 
Posted by blacktoothberry Sunday, May 24, 2009 1094 days ago

Can Blackberry make a phone that looks a little different? I mean 95% of all RIM phones look the same

 
 
Posted by nasmith7 Sunday, May 24, 2009 1094 days ago

try to retain the king of the qwerty...

 
 
Posted by tonytouch_28 Monday, May 25, 2009 1094 days ago

Hey Verizon users i got 2 words for ya, BE JEALOUS! AT&T=WIN!

 
 
Posted by Stang68 Monday, May 25, 2009 1094 days ago

"At&t: More drops...in more places."

Or how about: "At&t: Fastest 3G...just not where you are...ever."

 
 
Posted by SilverLight98 Monday, May 25, 2009 1094 days ago

-It's not like Verizon isn't getting its own set of unique devices: pearl flip, storm 2, Tour, Atlas, ?8530?
-We don't know if any of these phones wont have a CDMA variant... yet

 
 
Posted by GreatSave31 Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

AT&T, the company with the MOST BARS, AND THE MOST DROP CALLS. Can you hear me now? Oh, I'm sorry you have AT&T! You can't hear me!!!!!!!!!!!

 
 
Posted by crackcookie Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

Why are people such haters?

Stop fighting over ATT getting phones prior to Verizon, except the storm, you should not get surprised.

Anyway, Im shocked these phones are getting released so soon. With the Storm2 coming out, and the Curve 2 already out. I see no reason for these NEW phones to come out, until like 2010. And 3g should be a standard, then, the next phones they start working on, need to use LTE

 
 
Posted by CanisMinor Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

What is the bizarre fascination with LTE? It is so random that folks are calling for LTE phones:

1) The Verizon LTE network is still a year from operational, and even then it will be spotty at best. New networks take years to roll out. Don't expect decent LTE coverage before 2012. Where exactly will one use that desired LTE blackberry?

2) Battery life on 3G is still marginal. What do you think it's going to be like on LTE with today's battery technology?

3)Even on 3G or WiFi, the Blackberry browser is slow. The browser (or tethering) is really the only thing you need 3G for. With the current browser, LTE is not going to do a damn thing.

While I too am excited about LTE, I'd rather see it in laptop datacards first, while RIM sorts out how to make a stable, long lasting 3G HSPDA berry (since they already have good 3G EvDO berries).

Kevin, I just love it that you are getting these scoops. Sure Engadget got the AT&T releases, but you've scooped most of the folks on these devices. You're putting the smackdown on BGR (maybe his ninjas deserted him after all his slandering of the latest berry's!)

 
 
Posted by resveratrolsupplement Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

black berry is one of the best phone in the world.i like black berry phones.

what about the 3g flip, the 3g flip!! haha. that's what i really want. that and OS 5.0 for the flip.

 
 
Posted by Queen4111 Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

Wow! RIM wants to flood the earth with BlackBerry smartphones!!

 
 
Posted by Hoosierberry Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

'bout time ATT gets the new releases. Kevin has really outdone himself. After reading about the new Berries last night, I couldn't sleep at all. It is like having Christmas in May. Decisions,decisions.... Which one to buy. I feel more sleepless nights ahead!!!

 
 
Posted by roguephoenix Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

why does it seem that at&t always get the best stuff. are they the largest distributor in the country or something? look at their blackberry selections, then their iphones, then other things that other carriers don't have. verizon is good and all but it seems like they think the service is good enough that they don't need new devices. at&t is getting 5 new blackberries while verizon is still sticking with old curve, pearl and their "new" storm. sigh... i wish verizon would wake up and get more stuff.

Is the Blackberry Magnum going to have a larger screen than the current Blackberry Bold? also when is the "projected"
launch on the Magnum??

 
 
Posted by bigtime2 Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

Anyone wants to call photoshop on these?

 
 
Posted by iceworld Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

If I was in US, I must purchase one of them!

 
 
Posted by rvzero Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

Based on the specs I see above, the Onyx looks more packed than the Magnum? Any idea what the camera on the Magnum will be? I'm sure that 3.2mp/AF/IS should be the standard on the new top end phones.

I'm defo considering jumping from my 8900 to the Magnum/Onyx depending on final specs, but have no idea when it'll hit in the UK. You and your US/CA carriers. :(

 
 
Posted by mamelvin Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

The poster below is right, these are just placeholder pictures. The Magnum has a touchscreen and wouldn't need a trackball.

 
 
Posted by bk0 Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

"Magnum, Onyx, Pearl 3G and Gemini are all slated for release on AT&T according to the images which also include some specifications while device images except for the Onyx which we know is not 100% correct are not present in the slides, if I was an AT&T customer I'd sure be excited just by the fact they are showing up at all, and the fact a new 3G Pearl which has been rumored for a while is once again showing up is big news for anyone who was not interested in the 82XX series devices. "

Wow. Worst run-on sentence EVAR. I'm not even sure what it's supposed to be mean.

 
 
Posted by bigtime2 Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

You are not even sure "what it's supposed to be mean." How about you learn how to write correctly before you correct someone else?

 
 
Posted by bk0 Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

THANKS YOU FOR YUOR WISDOM.

 
 
Posted by gray_fox Thursday, May 28, 2009 1090 days ago

bk0 is right; that sentence amounts to an assault on the English language. I reread it five times and I'm still not sure what exactly he was trying to say.

 
 
Posted by mdozbaba Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

I hope it has wifi and a better camera. I love the Pearl and SureType!

 
 
Posted by Robbeane Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

running the storm now on ATT was going to go for the bold but may wait it out for the Onyx or Magnum..both should be out by the time im able to upgrade..i work tech for ATT, cannot wait for the training on the 2 will be the only phones worth paying extra attention to

 
 
Posted by KBBOT Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

why no 3g for the Onyx... UGH

 
 
Posted by islandgal808 Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

That's it!! I'm getting the Magnum, can't wait!!

 
 
Posted by GreatSave31 Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

The company with the most bars, you get the most drop calls!!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!

 
 
Posted by kikitheking Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

yea that isn't the onyx in the picture above, thats a javelin with a black bezel, mine looks exactly like that one, go check the pictures of the onyx, and you'll see the difference

 
 
Posted by davistld01 Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

When I saw the Onyx that Crackberry reviewed...it looked like a scaled-down, sleeker & sexier Bold with a Bold-esque keypad and some real improvements. This picture of the AT&T Onyx looks more like a Curve/Javelin hybrid than what the original pics showed it to be. I don't like it at all...if this one is the real deal.

I said the Onyx might be my next BB...but if this is what the Onyx will look like...I'll keep my Bold.

 
 
Posted by raameen Monday, May 25, 2009 1093 days ago

this phone so luxury,cant wait to have one, but in the near future.

 
 
Posted by dguillaume Tuesday, May 26, 2009 1092 days ago

Please can you make a list of all the new blackberry devices that you write about so that i can compare them and help decide whether too buy one now or wait a little

 
 
Posted by JimCas Tuesday, May 26, 2009 1092 days ago

These blackberry releases are becoming identical ones now !! i prefer N-series than this!! I agree it makes our lives easier but then again they are making it a mess!! Please let me know the best out of N 97 and and any Blackberry!! I checked puremobile.com for prices it seems cheaper!! So would like to go for the really good one! Thanks
