Engadget got a hold of supposedly a leaked presentation showing off some upcoming BlackBerry devices. This presentation shows the highly rumored BlackBerry Magnum, Onyx, Pearl 3G and Gemini are all heading to AT&T this year. Now I’m not to sure if these slides are official or not. If AT&T did make these they should really look at how to properly type BlackBerry (not Blackberry). You can check out the slides below and here is a recap of the specs:

  • BlackBerry Magnum: Full QWERTY keyboard with touchscreen, Optical trackpad, 3G UMTS, HSDPA, Quadband GSM, Wi-Fi, GPS and HVGA display.
  • BlackBerry Oynx: 3G UMTS, HSDPA, Quadband GSM, HVGA Display with 480×360 resolution, trackball navigation, 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, GPS and Wi-Fi.
  • BlackBerry Pearl “Next Generation 3G Model”: 3G, UMTS, HSDPA, Quadband GSM, Suretype keyboard, trackball navigation and aGPS. No sign of Wi-Fi…
  • BlackBerry Gemini: Quadband GSM, QWERTY keyboard, Trackball (?) navigation, 2.0 megapixel camera with no flash, and media keys.

By James on Apr 06, 2009 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Rumors.

Oh how we love a bunch of good BlackBerry rumors! Boy Genius is reporting on three new BlackBerry models with some really odd internal code-names. The first three devices should all be part of the 9000 series family and be quite sweet. The first device is BlackBerry Onyx which is said to feature 3G with Wi-Fi, GPS and a high resolution display. Next is Driftwood which is could be a smaller version of Onyx featuring 3G, Wi-Fi with UMA support, GPS and a slightly smaller screen? Last we have BlackBerry Magnum which apparently Boy Genius has confirmed to be launching on AT&T sometime this year; Magnum is said to feature a 3G radio with GPS, Camera, Wi-Fi, full QWERTY keyboard and a high resolution (480×360) display.

The last rumor BGR is reporting on is the highly rumored BlackBerry Gemini. Well rumor has it its just one device its will be a whole lineup of low-end Curve devices. Apparently RIM is planning several refeshes to their lineups for the Curve, Bold and maybe even Pearl series. Interesting eh? Read More

Rogers 2009 BlackBerry Lineup!

By James on Oct 20, 2008 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Canada, Curve 8900 Series, Rogers, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series.

We missed this one over the weekend. Boy Genius has released Rogers’ 2009 Blackberry lineup! Its filled with one new device every quarter and it will all start off with the BlackBerry Curve 8900 (formally known as Javelin) in Q1 then followed by a BlackBerry Storm varriant in Q2, BlackBerry “Magnum” (Curve 8900 with 3G) for Q3 and last but not least the BlackBerry Pluto (Bold-like device with touchscreen) for Q4 of 2009. Keep in mind they most likely won’t be getting the internal names and call the devices Magnum and Pluto. Also we should expect to see several new devices at WES (Wireless Enterprise Symposium) 2009 :-).
