** Images Removed at Demand ** NICE. Look what just got emailed into the CrackBerry tip line and posted in the forums! You're looking at the backside of yet another upcoming BlackBerry smartphone... this is the one that has been going under the codename "Onyx" to date. I'm sure we'll see a lot more details and images in the days / weeks / months ahead (can we puhleaze see the front??!). Another picture after the jump!

Looks nice from the back... wonder what the front looks like?
Damn you RIM, I've just got an 8900 and now you wanna release newer ones, I promised I wouldn't buy a new phone every month this year!
From the band/camera up it looks odd, would have to see the whole device.. Cool though.
lol, too many beers made me make that error many times... need to see the front to
What series will the Onyx be? 8xxx? 9xxx? I'm presuming it will release for one of the GSM carriers first?
lol you take a pic of the back and not the front?
what an assclown!
...well that 3.2 camera already beats my bold.
twitter.com/dontlook_back
This is incredibly mean. Sending in a picture of the back without the front? It does have a nice ass but...
hahah brilliant!!
At least it retained the flash - Bonus
If the Onyx could be considered the Storm 2 in some circles?
storm 2?
it will be a huge bonus if show the front and maybe will make people drool over this onyx lol
*drools*
This is unfare, Ive just weened myself away from crackberry.com! Ill be restless now wondering what the front looks like.. please get front view pic soon :)
I hope there is a cover over the camera like on the curve 8900 so no lint gets in there....It almost looks like the camera isnt covered like the old curve or bold??
BGR says this onyx will have :
â– AWS 1700MHz + 2100MHz UMTS/HSDPA
â– 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera
â– GPS
â– Wi-Fi
â– QWERTY keyboard
■480×360 screen
â– Carbon fiber-esque back battery cover (the whole back is a carbon fiber pattern apparently)
â– Much sexier than the BlackBerry 8900
hopefull it isnt the "storm 2"...
ive been on a touchscreen phone since the iphone came out and then switched to a blackberry storm...i think i want some buttons now...i miss buttons so im excited to see the next generation of blackberries. im a blackberry addict now.
I'm glad that TMO USA is finally getting the 3G BB Curve!
Too bad 3G service is NOT available in my area. :(
nice ass
i'd tap that
looks like the storm from the back
....storm 2?? lets hope not. dont pull an apple on us RIM! you just released the storm 1!!
Its meant to tease you, they wont show the front of the phone, until its ready for pre-release.
Com'on Guys!
Waaaahoooooo! GSM or CDMA? Pretty cool from back side...
So this is XXL magazine now....doesnt look like a big round a$$ to me....lol...looks cool though, I guess?
I told myself the storm was my last new phone for a while....Keyword being WAS...It's hot from the back...but then again,,,we've all made that mistake before!!!
i was the one that sent in this picture its not photoshopped if your wondering that and i'll post the front shortly too, maybe a video as well ;) but its the 3G version of the blackberry javelin for those who wanted to know
Just where can one get an evaluation unit? :)
If you're throwing away your Bolds as you have newer devices, tell me which dumpster you're putting it in and will dive for that trasure then :)
or any BlackBerry for that matter
Hello Onyx!!! or Driftwood(?)!
My 8900 will be for sale when the 9xxx onyx launches on Tmo later this year

Looks like the size dimensions of a Storm.
Look exactly like the storm and I would have no doubt what so ever that it is the storm 2. Looks nice from the back if ya know what I mean.
It's a QWERTY, it's not CDMA, and it lacks a touchscreen. How is it the Storm 2? And it definitely doesn't look exactly like a Storm, i'm looking at the back of mine right now, and it looks nothing like this device (aside from the fact that it has a 3.2MP camera)
Well, looks like you should have had doubt. You were wrong. :)
It better have everything and put an end to the madness of buying a new BB every other month! LOL!
Oh gosh, not another one. I can hardly keep up.
could this be the hybrid that RIM had rumored about?? part qwerty board/part touchscreen?? the world may never know...
This looks like it's heading to T-Mobile by Sept.
Looks like the front of the 9630 not complaining though that is one sexy front.
It's still nice.
But not nicer than my storm.
I think its okay. I dont know how I feel about a Bold/Tour keyboard on the Curve series.
Did it get run over by a truck
dang it.. why why now.. i just got my bold like 4 months ago.. and now this.. bonus its t-mobile.. so i can wait.. LOL if att gets it im screwed imma have to get it..
Oh and I like the keyboard....the new 8900 keyboard moves to much....kinda sucks how the 8320 keyboard feels more solid than the new one....the Bold's keys dont move at all
maybe this onyx have touchscreen and full qwerty keyboard without trackball ???
Awesome. It looks crooked from the front. Looks like the 9630. What I dont see is the optical trackpad which BGR seems to think it has..
It's just the 9630 for Tmo plus wifi.
This is not a Curve at all. It's the Tour for GSM.
I was gonna say it was basically a Bold for T-Mobile but your words fit this device much better. It's ok if you ask me. Im on Cincinnati Bell and I'll stick with my 8900. I figure I'll just skip 3G since 4G is right around the corner. I kinda think RIM is making a lot of devices that look alike too, but seein how it is a GSM Tour with wifi, this one can slide :)
Trackball? Really? I kind of thought after the 8520 that maybe the trackpad (or whatever) was the wave of the future.
So if it is indeed a 3G 8900 then I'm not interested. If it is slightly larger, say GSM Tour with Wi-Fi, then I am very interested. I don't expect TMO to have 3G service anywhere I go for at least 2 years. The front does look kind of Tour-ish.
yea this is basically like the GSM version of the blackberry tour with wifi
I'm due for a T-Mobile upgrade in December!
this is different than the optical pad you seen, this is a model most likely 8920 model. Looking at the screen it dows look alittle top heavy to me (more screen/top end than keyboard/bottom end)
