3G BlackBerry 8900 come September, codenamed Onyx/Driftwood
May 11th, 2009 | by Chris Speight |
No, that’s not an 8900, that’s the upcoming device from BlackBerry codenamed Onyx, which also goes by Driftwood. Unfortunately, no known reason for two codenames yet, except the possibility of release on both CDMA and GSM carriers. The front is strikingly similar to the 8900, but it’s the the new sides and 3G coverage are what really sets this one apart. According to BGR, we can expect this little number to be gracing shelves come September.
