    BlackBerry Leak Lists Product Code Names: Onyx, Driftwood, Magnum

    If you're the kind of BlackBerry gadgetphile who loves product code names, please sit down, because that's what we have here. Three new cologne-sounding code names for BlackBerry products, coming soon: Onyx, Driftwood, Magnum.

    The secret list of three was procured by BGR, and is in all actuality a list of three different code names for one product, most likely sold by different carriers

    You can see the similarities here, in the spec sheet:

    BlackBerry Onyx:

    * GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS device
    * GPS
    * Camera
    * Wi-Fi (no UMA support)
    * QWERTY keyboard
    * 480×360 resolution screen
    * Confirmed carriers: AT&T

    BlackBerry Driftwood:

    * GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS device
    * GPS
    * Camera
    * Wi-Fi with UMA
    * QWERTY keyboard

    BlackBerry Magnum:

    * GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS device
    * GPS
    * Camera
    * Wi-Fi (no UMA support)
    * QWERTY keyboard
    * 480×360 resolution screen
    * Confirmed carriers: AT&T

    These are all 9000-series BlackBerry devices, all with 3G. No release dates or other tangibles were given, but like I said, code name-loving folk are consumed with the vapors right about now. [BGR]
