Best bet is October or November of this year. Also, Onyx is likely to have trackball and not trackpad. A hardware revision was recently issued due to problems, with the trackpad being one of them. The push is on and should see it in Oct or Nov.

Well that certainly breaks my heart. I wanted the track pad
I'm sorry but no. I see your posts and know you have knowledge, but you are not close enough to the situation obviously. I stand by my post for now. A new HW revision was issued very recently and the trackpad is not included. Many problems. It may still release with one, but it doesn't look like it. You don't make HW changes like that this late in the game for nothing. I see that you are in agreement on the date though.
Trackball or trackpad, I am good for either. My only BB, the 8703, only had the side scroll wheel, so both are new to me. I saw a video of the Nokia E72 with a trackpad-looking device. It seemed to look easy-to-use. Like going from a regular ball mouse to an optical mouse. Next they'll have laserpad technology.

I believe ya...
And considering so few people here have used the trackpad it's funny that they all think it's the best choice... lol.
I remember when laptops switched from trackballs to trackpads, I HATED it, but now I can't imagine going back.
I'll tell you this thou, I STILL miss the old RIM trackwheel.
EDIT: Some things work better than others. Anyone remember that red rubber thingie the IBM Thinkpad used to have for navigation? WHEW what a nightmare that was!
My old Dell Inspiron 8100 had both the touch pad and pointing nub. That laptop had the best of both worlds. However, the older touch pads did not work very well. My current notebook, Clevo D901C has an amazing track pad and I would never go back to anything else.
It hasn't even entered mass production yet. The tour was announced way earlier than the Onyx and it's only now just released. I would peg a Q1 2010 release at bet.

Well that's my guess too.
RiM is sitting on their BOLD / CURVE / TOUR success until next year.
For the Canadians there's no reason to update for now.
The only thing was getting hit by a 3 year contract from rogers... Though I did get customer retentions to bring the price down to 124.99 on a 3 year with 50 mail-in rebate and $150 off instant my first bill.
Not to mention I ended up getting a way better monthly plan.
My problem with waiting is, there's always something better around the corner.
If you wait for the Onyx, then the Magnum or Pluto will be just releasing around the corner. If you wait for them, then something else will release soon etc...
That's just life. Look at all those who bought the Iphone 3G only to have the 3G S release like a few months later. 3 iphones within 18 months...
I know, but it could be unopened from say 4 months ago versus unopened having just been built within weeks. Although, I'm not sure who wouldn't want to open that thing if they had it. Haha.
