Isn't the 8520 the one with the optical scroll function? that's the only new improvement I can think of, and also it would come with the 5.0 OS platform i'm assuming. How does this handset outdo the BOLD? Is it confirmed that this would be the official GSM BB release?
BlackBerry Onyx and Magnum to hit AT&T; BlackBerry Driftwood for T-Mobile?
AT&T’s latest BlackBerry smartphone, the Bold 9000 (currently available for $299.99 on contract), is about five months old now, so you may wonder when new RIM-made devices will come to the giant US carrier.
We can’t say exactly when, but we can say AT&T will be releasing not one, but two BlackBerry smartphones sometime in the future.
According to BGR, the smartphones are codenamed BlackBerry Magnum and BlackBerry Onyx.
By the way........
It’s said the features of BlackBerry Magnum include:
GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS connectivity
480 x 360 pixels display
Full QWERTY keyboard (obviously)
GPS
Wi-Fi
Camera
BlackBerry Onyx should come with exactly the same features, but probably a different design and without a touchscreen.
