Details and imagery concerning the new BlackBerry Bold 9700 – or BlackBerry Onyx as T-Mobile are referring to it – along with T-Mobile’s release timeframe have been leaked offering further tantalising details concerning RIM’s up and coming, and as yet not officially announced, smartphone.

According to CIO, linked below, who released the details after gaining them directly from T-Mobile prior to committing to an NDA, the new Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and UMTS/HSDPA BlackBerry Bold 9700/Onyx, which is rumoured to come with a 480 x 360 resolution display, a 3.2 megapixel camera, integrated Bluetooth and Wi-fi (A/B/G) connectivity (some of which is confirmed below) was detailed by T-Mobile as follows:

“The BlackBerry ‘Onyx’ sports a premium experience and design with a high-gloss black finish and leather grain detail on the back. Boasting features such as high-speed 3G Web browsing, Wi-Fi calling, visual voicemail and support for corporate and personal e-mail options, the ‘Onyx’ will satisfy all your on-the-go needs. Also the phone comes preloaded with mobile applications from BlackBerry App World, including Amazon MP3 store for quick and easy music downloads and TeleNav GPS Navigator for turn-by-turn directions.”

According to the credited report T-Mobile have purportedly confirmed that the BlackBerry Bold 9700/Onyx, which will ship with an Amazon MP3 application, is presently scheduled to drop on the network before the end of the year – though nothing more specific in terms of dates have been provided.

We’ll keep you posted.
