Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion is expected to soon launch on the market a new version of its highly popular BlackBerry Bold device, dubbed BlackBerry Bold II and also known as Bold 9700 or BlackBerry Onyx. No official launch date has emerged, yet the device can now be seen in a series of new photos, and those eagerly waiting for its launch can take a better look at what is coming their way.

The BlackBerry Bold 9700 is expected to come to the market sometime before the end of the year, and some earlier rumors even placed its release date somewhere in November. Mum's the word from RIM when it comes to Bold II's availability and pricing details, yet it shouldn't be too long before the exact details emerge, so stay tuned. However, until more info will be available, you might want to check the new images with the phone, available courtesy of dailymobile.se.

One other future BlackBerry device that should prove to be a great option for a lot of users is the BlackBerry Essex, which is reportedly the successor of the recently released BlackBerry Tour. A leaked photo of the handsets is available now, and one can easily spot the plastic covering the phone's display and trackpad. Packing inside Wi-Fi connectivity, a new trackpad and a higher-quality photo snapper, this device is also a phone one should look after on the market.

Although the BlackBerry Essex has emerged into the news a few times before, no exact details on when, where and for how much it will come to the market are available at the moment. However, it is known that Essex should turn into a CDMA follow-up to the Tour, although it might come a little too early after the latter device becomes available on the market. For what it's worth, CrackBerry says that we should expected RIM to make it available sometime at the beginning of next year, so keep your fingers crossed.
