We don’t know exactly what they’re feeding the engineers up in Waterloo, but we’re guessing it’s a combination of Red Bull, NoDoz, and speed, because they appear to be working on about ten devices at once — awesome news for anyone looking to pick up a new BlackBerry in the next 6 to 12 months. We’ve already seen the Onyx in the wild, but as a refresher, this puppy does UMTS (and we’d assume HSDPA as well), a 3.2 megapixel AF cam, an undoubtedly gorgeous 480 x 360 display, GPS, and WiFi in a body more svelte than the Bold’s; now, CrackBerry’s managed to score a unit and give it a quick once-over. All told the impression seems very positive, with the takeaway being that RIM has taken the best personality traits of the 8900 and 9000 series and stuffed it all into a single device. We’re not necessarily expecting this one on the market any time soon — AT&T just launched the 8900 a couple days ago, after all, and CrackBerry believes RIM could replace the trackball with a Gemini-style optical pad prior to launch — but it’s something to look forward to.
