I heard this on kiss fm this morning and then found the following earlier on.
It appears that RIM has a trio of brand new BlackBerries up its sleeve. Scoop-happy tech blog Boy Genius Report just got word of three new devices codenamed the Onyx, Driftwood and Magnum. Read on for the specs.

According to BGR’s source, the BlackBerry Onyx will come with 3G, GPS, camera, Wi-Fi, a QWERTY keyboard, a 480 x 360 resolution screen, and will be offered on AT&T in the US.

The BlackBerry Driftwood will offer 3G, GPS, camera, Wi-Fi (with UMA, unlike the Onyx) and a QWERTY keyboard.

The BlackBerry Magnum is also 3G, with GPS, camera, Wi-Fi, QWERTY keyboard, 480 x 360 screen and, again, AT&T as a confirmed carrier in the US.

Not a lot of info there, and what little there is suggests that all three devices are pretty similar when it comes to specs. Of course there is the possibility of different cameras, software and the like but BGR posits the theory that the Magnum and Driftwood could even be the same handset, just with different codenames for different carriers.

We’ll keep a beady eye (both of them, in fact) peeled for more info on the mystery BlackBerry trio.

Mate, Kiss FM are 4 months behind, that news was posted 4 months ago!

It was mentioned on here in the BB thread a few months back too! The Onyx is rumoured to be the optical trackball Curve, and the Magnum a TS Bold!
