Not much is known about the latest handsets from RIM, but we have found some information of the BlackBerry Magnum, Onyx and Driftwood phones that you might find interesting. We know that RIM have confirmed the specs, but not much else is know.
So let us take a look at what we know, firstly the BlackBerry Onyx comes with a QWERTY keyboard and a 480×360 resolution screen and a Camera. The handset supports GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS device, GPS and WiFi. The confirmed carrier is AT&T.
The BlackBerry Driftwood also comes with a QWERTY keyboard and offers support for GPS, GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS device and WiFi with UMA. The BlackBerry Magnum is much the same as the other handsets, GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS device, WiFi, GPS and a QWERTY keyboard; this handset will also be on the AT&T carrier.
All three are different phones but they all have practically the same specs. Boy Genius Report has concluded that the BlackBerry Magnum and Driftwood is the same device, just destined for different carriers.
RIM have now sold over 50 million Blackberry Smartphone’s to date, and that number is going to increase dramatically over time with the launch of yet more handsets.

My biggest issue is when I am roaming internationally,
I would like my data services to be enabled,
but not like to receive email.
And I would love to be able to turn that on or off from the device…
but I guess you can’t have everything…
thanks..
