BlackBerry Magnum vs BlackBerry Onyx

The BlackBerry Magnum is the rumored next generation BlackBerry smartphone. It is said to feature a Blackberry Storm-like touchscreen as well as a full QWERTY physical keyboard like the BlackBerry Curve, and may be the United States version of the Storm.


The Magnum will be part of the 9000 series, specifically, the Blackberry Bold 9220.
It is unclear when the BlackBerry Magnum will be released. Unlike the Magnum, Blackberry Onyx does not have a touch screen, although some remains of an interesting Blackberry, because its technological specifications include the same optical trackpad for the first time used on BlackBerry Gemini.
BlackBerry Underground appeared on, the picture shows exactly BlackBerry Onyx 9020 and the Gemini in comparison. The smartphone will integrate 3G connectivity, GPS, Wi-Fi and a screen resolution of 480×360 pixels.
Rumors of the BlackBerry device model with the codename "Onyx" have been floating around for a while now and were proven legit when the first photos of it surfaced here at CrackBerry back on May 10th. It always seems that every new BlackBerry smartphone makes a compromise somewhere on its specifications and feature sheet - be it the Bold's camera, or the Curve 8900's lack of 3G, or the Tour 9630's lack of WiFi, or the Storm's lack of memory and snappy OS.
RIM has finally packed it ALL into one device with the Onyx -- 3G, WiFi, GPS, 3.2 megapixel camera - and they've done it in a tight form factor. If you put the Onyx side by side with the BlackBerry Bold and compare the specs, you realize the triumph in engineering RIM has accomplished here. So if you're relaxing this Memorial Day weekend, grab a bevvie, sit back and read on to see tons of photos, a video and some first impressions of the BlackBerry Onyx.
