AT&T's customers who are Blackberry fanboys by definition have now a few more reasons to rejoice, as we learn that there are at least four new BlackBerries heading for the carrier's lineup via the Canadian mobile phone maker Research in Motion, namely the Blackberry Onyx, Magnum, Pearl 3G, and Gemini. Unfortunately, only some technical details on the handsets are available at the moment, no launch date having been unveiled so far.

The BlackBerry Onyx has been spotted into the wild before, and has even seen a nice review, though the phone hasn't been launched yet and won't be for quite a while. The device will come to AT&T's offering with quad-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE connectivity, while also sporting an HVGA display that can offer a 480 x 360 pixel resolution, a trackball for navigation, GPS, Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth 2.0, a MicroSD memory card slot for additional storage space, micro-USB connector, 3.5mm headset jack, and a 3.2-megapixel photo snapper with auto focus and image stabilization.

The second BlackBerry heading for AT&T, the Magnum, is reported to come as the “BlackBerry Bold portfolio evolution,” while including the same processor as Bold, along with an HVGA touchscreen, quad-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE connectivity, tri-band UMTS / HSDPA, a QWERTY keyboard, Wi-Fi connectivity and GPS capabilities.

The third handset in the row, the non-flip BlackBerry Pearl 3G, comes with 3.6 Mbps HSDPA, tri-band UMTS / HSDPA, quad-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE connectivity, Bluetooth, micro USB slot, speakerphone, 3.5mm headset jack, aGPS capabilities, trackball, SureType and a microSD memory card slot for additional storage space.

The last of the newly spotted handsets is the BlackBerry Gemini, which is expected to come with a 512MHz processor, 256MB of flash memory and 128MB RAM, as well as with quad-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE connectivity, Bluetooth, a QVGA LCD screen, a 2-megapixel photo snapper that lacks flash, trackball, QWERTY keyboard, GPS capabilities, 3.5mm headset jack and a microSD memory card slot.
