Upcoming BlackBerry Releases

April 6th 2009 13:10
Category: Mobile Phones
Blackberry always manages to leak out information about new cell phones. I've found three more BlackBerry RIM phones that should be released within the 2009 year, but hey we're still waiting on the Niagara, Javelin, Meteor, Kickstart, and Apex.

But, anyway, these three phones are just about the same phone, with two being nearly exactly the same. It's thought that the main difference is going to be the cell phone service that the phones are released through.


The Onyx, Driftwood and Magnum seem to be the refresh PDA devices to the Bold, basically meaning RIM did a new upgrade and refresh to the Curve series, all being in the 9000 series with 3G. (The new Blackberry Pearl series is probably next.)

As for the new cell phones in questions, it's thought that the Onyx and Magnum will be released to AT&T, while the Driftwood will probably be released to T-Mobile. The Blackberry Driftwood and Magnum are also figured to be the same phone just different carriers.

One other thought, idea, and hope, is that one of the phones will be a touchscreen with a physical QWERTY keyboard, and let me tell you I'm hoping so, as I'm a big BlackBerry fan.


The names are confirmed, but the release dates and all of the features have not been. This is what has been released so far.

BlackBerry Onyx:
* GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS device
* GPS
* Camera
* Wi-Fi (no UMA support)
* QWERTY keyboard
* 480×360 resolution screen
* Confirmed carriers: AT&T

BlackBerry Driftwood:
* GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS device
* GPS
* Camera
* Wi-Fi with UMA
* QWERTY keyboard

BlackBerry Magnum:
* GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS device
* GPS
* Camera
* Wi-Fi (no UMA support)
* QWERTY keyboard
* 480×360 resolution screen
* Confirmed carriers: AT&T

ive been thinking about getting a BlackBerry for my next phone . . . ive never had a really good phone, and my current Nokia just about needs throwing in the bin . . . i basically think they must be cool because Chris Cornell has one and uses it to tweet on Twitter (they call it a twitterberry - how cute! haha)

do you use a BlackBerry?

hows the battery life on them?

I have a blackberry curve and LOVE it. The battery on my curve is pretty good, and I've heard the pearl has a good battery life as well. I can go from saturday with a full battery to sunday night with some battery left. During a regular workday, though, I have to charge daily because I text up a storm.
