It was recently made known today that the highly sought after BlackBerry Bold 9700 will officially be coming to T-Mobile Germany this November.

If you haven’t been following this device, you may know it as the BlackBerry Bold 2 or perhaps the BlackBerry Onyx but either or, it features HSDPA, a 3.2MP camera, 480×360 display, WiFi and a BlackBerry Curve form factor.

RIM’s newest BlackBerry, the 9700 also known as the Onyx or the Bold 2 is coming to U.S. customers in the following weeks from both T-Mobile and AT&T. What about Canadian the consumer you ask? Well it looks like Rogers Wireless is going to bring the Bold 2 to Canada starting with October 26. It’s being speculated that the 9700 will be available for $299 with a new three-year contract but as long as we don’t have the actual press release to back that up, we can’t tell you anything for sure. What do you say folks? Are you ready for the new Bold in town?

The next Bold version, also known as the BlackBerry 9700 Onyx is apparently coming from two U.S. carriers this month. Both T-Mobile and AT&T will launch the Bold 2 on, or around October 21. The phone will be available in the following weeks although there are no details regarding prices from neither AT&T nor T-Mobile. The Bold has been, and still is, one of the most popular phones launched by RIM so far which means that we’re probably going to love the Bold 2 as well. What’s the next phone that you’re most likely to buy? The Bold 2 or the Storm 2?

RIM’s BlackBerry Onyx has yet to settle down on a carrier but it seems that someone has gotten their hands on some pre-release devices and decided to throw them on eBay. The starting bid is currently at just $1 but the seller says you can buy the phone now for $1,299.99.

Sure, the phone is unlocked and has GPS, WiFi, a QWERTY keyboard, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and tri-band UMTS/HSDPA but is anyone actually going to pay over $1,200 for this? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

The Onyx is one of your future RIM smartphones but it’s not ready to ship to your door quite yet. The phone is not official, so we have to deal with leaked pictures of it in the mean time. We don’t have all the specs but the BlackBerry 9020 Onyx will apparently come with an optical trackpad to replace that regular trackball. We definitely need more details about the Onyx, so now that the Tour is out RIM could focus more on the Onyx and tell us everything there is to know about the phone. And just in case you were wondering the other BlackBerry in the picture is the Gemini.

AT&T is hot right now as we keep getting details about future phones the carrier will launch. Shouldn’t they focus on keeping the buzz alive around the iPhone 3G considering that Sprint is playing with the Pre these days?

After the HTC Lancaster, which will be AT&T’s first Android phone, now we have a bunch of BlackBerry smartphones headed to AT&T. These are the Magnum, the Onyx, the Pearl 3G and the Gemini. We have no release dates available so far and we’d also love some prices for these upcoming handsets.

What phones is RIM preparing for this year? Do they have anything good enough to fight against the Pre or the new iPhone? We’ve just heard new code names which should only mean new BlackBerries are on the way.

The Onyx and the Magnum are supposed to be released by AT&T while the Driftwood will arrive from T-Mobile.

The Magnum is said to have the following features:

• GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS connectivity
• 480 x 360 pixels touchscreen display
• Full QWERTY keyboard
• GPS
• Wi-Fi
• Camera

The Onyx will be similar to the Magnum but there won’t be any touch support for it. The Driftwood is also a new Berry which will probably have features like the Magnum or the Onyx but we’re waiting for confirmation from RIM, AT&T or T-Mobile.

A new UK-based company named Onyx has released its first offering — the Liscio. The tri-band phone Liscio features a 1.10-inch 96 x 96 pixels OLED full-color display, 128MB built-in memory, Micro SD card slot of up to 1GB cards size, MP3 player, built-in FM radio, and Bluetooth v1.2 connectivity. Very basic, isn’t it? No camera. No 3G. If you’re interested in a basic black phone, however, the Onyx Liscio will be available as a SIM-free handset in www.onyxinnovation.com for around US$260 to be sold in the UK. By the bye, if you’re thinking this handset is familiar, then you’re right. Thanks to mobile magazine, we figured out that the Onyx Liscio is the repackaged Haier Black Pearl which was released prior to Liscio under a variety of other names.

Another pic after the jump.
