I'll wager my money that the Nautilus = Pearl 2.

How you getting all this good info?

i forget which was pearl 2 hahah why do u say that?.... and im just good @ what i do hha

Blackberry Stratus
-Pearl2 perhaps?

Apex
-flipberry?

The Apex is a CDMA Pearl Flip.

i remember seeing that haha thanks!

A CDMA berry with Wifi, that will be the day.

God, let's hope so. My 8830 is woefully underpowered. "Early 2009" is quickly disappearing on them. I sure hope we see this in 1H09. I'm due for an upgrade!

is it really gonna come out in early 2010? or even earlier? do you think it's gonna be for t-mobile as well? i wanted to get the 8900 but this one is way better, i have the 8320 but it's nothing compared to this one i swearrrrrrrr.

No wifi..... :(

That day won't be anytime soon,

Whens the confirmed realese date of BLACKBERRY MAGNUM ?!

Nothing about the Magnum has been confirmed.. Not even its existence, hence the rumor.

i swear i posted
"there isnt one"
for that question, maybe i forgot to push the post button...
hmm...

It might be lost in the forum black hole

thanxXx steve086
i e-mailed this shop in Austrila and they said they had the device " Blackberry Magnum" $350.
i asked for proof that they had the product & they havent replied since :P

Yea, I wouldn't bother.. It's not out..

The magnum has not been officially recognized by anyone yet.

soo how long are we talkin abt? or shud i just continue with bold or get the new bb 9630 smartphone?

years....
there have been few rumours about this device, and i believe this was mentioned before the Tour rumours and the Tour is coming out soon.
I really wouldn't hold out for a phone that likely doesnt exist yet.

Magnum sounds hot. But, the Bold 2 being a touch screen is just a rumor, no pictures yet, just speculated specs of the phone. If its true, I will buy it full retail price.

It's still a proper blackberry with a keyboard though even if it does also have a touchscreen.

I've posted this a while ago when it happened. My friend who worked at Rogers (recently changed jobs) was at a Cellular Road Show. RIM was there showing off a touch-screen Bold. Both him and I have the Bold and we're obsessed so he BBM'd me while he was looking at it. Predicted launch date at that time was for September of this year. Of course things can change in the blink of an eye but all I know is that they had it far along enough that they were showing it off at that event. Just sayin'.

just reading this thread is far too exciting for me!!!!!! lol Sad probably, yet true!!!!!!!!!!!


;;;;;rubs hands together feverishly;;;;;

Thanks for the 411 one and all!!!!

Note this thread is a good 6 months old now :(

lol, I'm really observant! Thank you, pointe taken!

I'm still excited to be in the loop about the Magnum because of this awesome site though! So it's all guud for me!

I do hope it's in the works and hope we can snag a sneak peek at some sort of leaked image or something of the sorts. Gosh I love rim!

OK, I would like to revive this threat. I hear/read that the so called Magnum is now code named Dakota and actually is similar size as the BOLD and has a touch screen. Any more information on this? I am going to get the 9700, but am not so sure about the small size. I have tried the 8900, but it was a bit underpowered and too flimsy. I hated the keyboard moving around and the battery cover not being secure. I am not sure I need a touch screen BlackBerry, but I do love the keyboard size of the 9000 Bold and the bigger screen helps these ailing eyes of mine.

Joining this thread, and looking for further developments on the "Magnum" or "Dakota" as referenced above. I agree with Dan, while I love the new 9700, it's form size and specifically the keys might be just too small for me. I really prefer the Curve keyboard with it's raised keys, and also the Bold keyboard as well with its size form (plus the larger screen). I might get a Curve 2 to hold me over if my 8310 starts to spudder. It currently works fine, a real horse, just getting more and more banged up as time goes by. I should get (and will) the newest OS.

Will their be an in between decision to bring out another Bold with a track pad? That would be of great interest to me as well. Not really sure if a touch screen is what I would want at all.

Caught a couple of blurry pictures of it, now not positive they are real pictures, but the concept of it made me want it terribly back. haha
I hope that this blink of an eye is a turn for the better and it is released later this year (not much left I know) or sometime early next year.
