Blackberry Magnum, Onyx, Pearl 3G, and Gemini to harmonize on AT&T

BlackBerry lovers, AT&T beckons. Looks like the just-reviewed Onyx is heading to AT&T and, as rumored before, so is the Magnum. We've got no pics of the latter device, but it's being touted here as the "BlackBerry Bold portfolio evolution" and uses the same processor as the Bold. It's also got a HVGA touchscreen, QWERTY pad, quad-band GSM / GRS / EDGE, GPS, and WiFi. Want more? How about an apparently non-flip Pearl 3G with 3.6 Mbps of HSDPA goodness, Bluetooth, 3.5mm headset jack, trackball, SureType, and aGPS. Rounding out this quartet is the Gemini, with a 512MHz processor, 256MB flash memory, 128MB RAM, Bluetooth, QVGA LCD, 2 megapixel sans flash, trackball, QWERTY keyboard, 3.5mm headset jack, a microSD slot, possibly GPS, and sadly, no 3G. There's no release date in sight, but hey, knowing they're on the way is half the battle, right?

Phones are far and away the biggest weakness in my nerdery.

That said, Engadget's current opening page with about 10 different phone stories fucking rocks.

Thanks for that, guys.

[FLaSHBaCK @ May 24th 2009 7:06PM]

I would have to agree. In the past two years I've had over 7 phones... I'm really excited with all these new phones; pre, htc diamond 2, and the scourge of blackberry phones. How to choose?

[iphonerulez @ May 25th 2009 12:39AM]

Holy smokes, another frickin' BlackBerry. Is this number two or three for this month? RIM's share price should soar on Tuesday. RIM investors just get jizzed every time a new BB is introduced. Apple builds one iPhone a year to about 20 various RIM handsets. No wonder the iPhone can't keep up in sales. This Onyx got some heavy duty hardware. Palm might as well just pack it in with the Pre.

Talk about phone news today. Some really nice news coming through the vine.

[Epsilon-Not @ May 24th 2009 7:04PM]

It's a real shame there's no pictures of the Magnum... I'd like to see if, as rumored, there is no trackball (or trackpad).

Pearl 3G is also interesting, I can't remember hearing about that before. (Maybe it just got lost in the other 390572390679062 models RIM is creating)

AT&T post in 3...2...1...

[trevor @ May 24th 2009 7:08PM]

so...... today must be "hack into AT&T's secret database and steal tons of restricted info" day, am i right?

[Gad Get @ May 24th 2009 7:11PM]

Basically. Except I don't think there's any hacking necessary. Not when you have an informant on the inside. Am I right, Engadget?

[Piotr @ May 24th 2009 7:16PM]

Wow love the Onyx in all black, looks great!
Hope the T-mo version looks the same.

[errdayimhustln @ May 24th 2009 7:31PM]

WTF happened to the keyboard?!?

[Stephen @ May 24th 2009 7:40PM]

My thoughts EXACTLY. I think this is an older slide, because the phone all around doesn't look as appealing as the unit Crackberry reviewed.

[oghowie @ May 24th 2009 11:41PM]

Looks more like the Curve keys. Aren't those better?

But yeah, it looks different than the one that Crackberry reviewed.

[AlexD @ May 24th 2009 7:45PM]

I'm confused about all QWERTY 9xxx bb models with similar look :S

[stayfly @ May 24th 2009 8:54PM]

I want a onyx for verizon!

[Game_playa @ May 24th 2009 9:17PM]

Why the fuck are there so many

[EricC @ May 24th 2009 10:41PM]

The same reason there are so many iPods? Different feature sets and different price points.

[Andy Anonymous @ May 24th 2009 9:58PM]

I can't wait to find out more about the Magnum. Hopefully it uses the Bold's keyboard and retains all its other features while improving on them.

[Peter @ May 24th 2009 10:20PM]

Gemini has a trackpad. Must be old slides....

[Richard Glitter @ May 24th 2009 10:47PM]

That or AT&T "soft launches" these phones by "leaking" them to engadget, et al now. Either way, lots of good phone news for AT&T owners today! The HTC Android phone is really peaking my interest, and the Eon looks like it has some good potential.

[Richard Glitter @ May 24th 2009 10:48PM]

dammit, this was a reply to @trevor.

engadget commenting rules! :)

[oxfdblue @ May 24th 2009 11:18PM]

When the F is T-Mobile going to get a decent Blackberry? We're still stuck with the 8900... Yo, boys in pink... 3G? GPS?

Enough with the Google, cupcake, android crap... call the guys up north and get a damned decent Blackberry on line already!

[ImaYam @ May 25th 2009 8:02PM]

My tmo 8900 is too sexy. I have wifi+uma+edge(which is considerable fast on tmo, and only a little slower than att 3g), and i use it all day.

My GPS works flawlessly too, so I dont know what YOURE complaining about.

[Canis_Minor @ May 25th 2009 3:24AM]

After getting repeatedly scooped by Crackberry on the Gemini and Onyx, is nice to see you back on the game Engadget!

[the things you own end up owning you @ May 25th 2009 8:05PM]

@ oxfdblue -

The 8900 actually does have GPS. But I completely agree - a 3G BlackBerry for T-Mobile is *way* overdue.

[bbninja1389 @ May 26th 2009 6:40PM]

thats not an actual onyx, thats a javelin with a black chrome bezel, mine looks just like that, maybe you should actually look at the pictures of a real one......http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/blackberry-onyx-in-the-wild/
