Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion has already been reported to be ramping up for the release of a series of fresh handsets in the near future, and it seems that some of its plans have been unveiled once again in the form of new photos that surfaced into the wild. The handsets that can be spotted now are the BlackBerry Onyx/Bold 9020 (left) and the BlackBerry Gemini/Curve 8520 (right), and a photo of the BlackBerry Magnum is also available, though there are not too many things that can be seen there.

Starting with the image attached to this article, users can enjoy the view of the aforementioned BlackBerry Onyx/Bold 9020 and the BlackBerry Gemini/Curve 8520. The photo is of good quality, and we can take a look for the first time at the trackpad that the Onyx will come to the market with. Previous images that surfaced were of pre-production models, and they only included the classic trackball. As for the Gemini, a variety of details have already been unveiled , and all that remains to be learned is where and when it will be launched.

The new BlackBerry Onyx is expected to come to the market as the successor of the BlackBerry Bold, yet there are no exact details on when the phone should land, other than the “later this year” time frame. The specifications list of the handset is also expected to include a display that should boast a 480 x 360 pixel resolution, as well as the optical trackpad, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity and GPS receiver. According to the news, the handset should come to the US market on the airwaves of both T-Mobile and AT&T, yet more details should be announced in the near future.

As for the third BlackBerry device that has been supposedly spotted into the wild, the Magnum, those willing to take a look at the new image that recently surfaced should head here. The most important features of this device seem to be the fact that it will have both a touchscreen display and a full QWERTY keyboard. The screen should feature a resolution of 480 x 320 pixels, and 3G capabilities should also come in the package. The device should be heading towards Rogers, though it still has to become official. Stay tuned to learn when that happens.
