AT&T Blackberry Plans Include 4 New Devices

This is great news. We had heard the Magnum was confirmed for AT&T but it is great to hear that the other three are coming there as well. This will give the Blackberry lineup a large boost.

So let�s go through each one and see what the slides say, and what info is already circulating about those devices.

Blackberry Onyx

While most of the specs are identical to the Bold, a couple key changes are the 3.2 MP camera, and the slide also mentions using a micro USB connector instead of the standard Mini USB that RIM has used for eons.

The style also looks a little different. It�s reminiscent of Bold vs Curve 8900. The below crystal-clear picture shows off the Onyx, reviewed earlier by Kevin at Crackberry.

Blackberry Magnum

Such a detailed picture, isn�t it? The Magnum is being touted as the �Blackberry Bold portfolio evolution�. We�re excited about this one, as it�s supposed to have full QWERTY as well as HVGA touchscreen. Nice!

The Magnum is also bragging up a Navigation evolution. Huh? Should be interesting to find out more about this mysterious handset, for sure. Here�s a fuzzy pic of what the Magnum should really look like.

Blackberry Pearl 3G

Not much needs to be said of this one, as it is a natural upgrade to the current Pearl line. A much needed upgrade, considering the Pearl dates back a good 3 years. This will be of the non-flip variety and will sport triband AT&T 3G, as well as a high resolution display (exact res TBD). We hope the Pearl 3G will look a little more stylish than the one in the slide.

Blackberry Gemini

Also known as the Blackberry Curve 8520, the Gemini is well-named because of the look and feel of it. Here�s the confusing part though � according to our previous reports, the Gemini is supposed to come with an optical trackball (or trackpad, whichever you want to call it) instead of the usual Curve-style trackball, yet the above slide mentions it comes with a trackball.

By the looks of it, the Gemini is meant to be more of an entry-level Blackberry as it won�t have 3G, it may have GPS but not sure yet, and 2 MP camera with no flash. Picture below.

As of yet we don�t have any release dates for these handsets, but it�s refreshing to see a whole slew of new phones to replace the aging Blackberry devices currently for sale on AT&T. Your thoughts?
