A few more comparison shots with the 9520 Storm2:

You can watch the Monza hands-on video here.

The last pic shows both the 9860 Monza and the slider 9810 Torch 2. Both devices should be based on 1.2GHz processors, should pack 5 megapixel cameras with 720p camcorders and should run the latest BlackBerry OS 7. Rumors has it that the Monza will have a 3.7″ WVGA screen, while the Torch 2 will tout a smaller 3.2-inch VGA one. In case you need more details, you’re welcome to check our rumored specs pages.

The folks over at Boy Genius Report have got their lucky hands on the Bold Touch 9930 and according to them the phone looks much better in person, than on the product renders, that leaked a while ago. Along with the good looks, the Bold Touch 9900 is reported to be very well-built, too.

Here are some photos of the early production unit. Notice the carbon back battery cover, which seems more and more likely to replace the faux leather one RIM has been using so far.

The 2.8-inch touchscreen is responsive and reportedly compliments nicely the well-proven BlackBerry keyboard. Unfortunately, there’s no word on what performance the 1.2GHz Qualcomm CPU pumps out on the new BlackBerry OS 6.1, but we are ready to bet it’s not a turtle.

The BlackBerry Bold Touch is headed for a June-July release, with prices and availability likely to be announced at the BlackBerry World event on 1 May 2011.

The Monaco and Monza monikers actually mark two different versions of the device – the first one is headed to Verizon, while the second should be available worldwide.

The new BlackBerry OS will require you to log in with your BlackBerry ID to gain access to its full functionality. There will also be built-in support for backup and restore of your data.

BlackBerry Monaco/Monza

The BlackBerry Monaco/Monza duo is expected to be announced this May at the BlackBerry World event. It is likely to be launched as a part of the new Touch series rather than as a part of the Storm lineup.

We’ll keep you updated if more information about the specs of the Monaco surface.

It seems the aging BlackBerry Curve 8900 is finally getting a successor. The Curve 8980 features almost the same specs, but has picked up WirelessN connectivity and an optical trackpad instead of a regular trackball.

The rest of the specs are quite familiar – 2.4-inch display, QWERTY keyboard, 3.2 megapixel snapper, GPS, Bluetooth and microSD card slot. Similar to its predecessor, the new Curve 8980 also lacks 3G connectivity.

There is no info on the processor or the amount of RAM yet, but the OS should be BlackBerry OS 5. But don’t worry, there will be upgrade to OS 6 for sure.

We guess the official announcement should take place soon.

The BlackBerry Storm and its sequel didn’t do so hot when RIM was trying to break into the touch phone market. But as they say, third time’s the charm – the first BlackBerry Storm 3 photos hit the interwebs and they look like an improvement.

The BlackBerry Storm 3 reportedly has a bigger screen than its predecessors – 3.7″ unit looks much roomier than the 3.25″ screens on the Storm and Storm 2. There’s no info on the resolution though, hopefully it’s got a bump from the 360×480 pixels resolution of the previous versions.

The Storm 3 also features Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity, says the rumor-mill, and 8GB of built-in memory. There’s an optical trackpad this time around.

A leaked slide from July allegedly had info on the Storm 3 – BlackBerry OS 6 (and the WebKit browser it brings), 512MB RAM and support for microSD cards up to 32GB. The camera is listed as 5MP and there’s Wi-Fi 802.11n support. SurePress is back too, even though it was dropped for the BlackBerry Torch 9800.

So far so good – but here’s where things start getting iffy. Check out the slide – there doesn’t seem to be a trackpad. And there’s that gossip that the Storm2 we’ll be actually getting an almost silent refresh (the one on the slide) so it stays as a current model, while the real BlackBerry Storm 3 is the device pictured in hand above. So for now, take everything with a big pinch of salt.

Since we mentioned the Torch, check out the second photo – it looks great in red.

The BlackBerry Torch 9800 is the third touch-operated Berry, and the very first slider. It launched a week ago for 199 US dollars, but now goes for only 99 USD. You still have to sign a contract, but a 100 dollar reduction in price is not a bad deal at all.

When the Nokia N8 was announced its suggested retail price was 370 euro (475 USD). Right now it’s available on the Nokia USA site for pre-order with a $550 price tag (430 euro). That’s 60 euro over (still better than the 470 euro price tag from Amazon Germany), but not quite what Nokia promised. Let’s hope that the price will fall when the phone is finally available.

Speaking of availability, it’s listed as “End of September”, which is on track with some of the rumors, though we’ve heard August 26 too.

The user agent XML profile is a pretty common source of info for rumored phones. In the case of the BlackBerry 9780, it reveals a HVGA screen (480×320), BlackBerryOS 6, GSM with 2G and 3G connectivity as well as Wi-Fi b/g.

Aside from the new OS, the BlackBerry 9780 (dubbed Onyx II for now, though that will certainly change) is pretty much the same as the BlackBerry 9700 Bold (which was initially rumoured as Onyx). The live photo adds another similarity between the two – the phones look almost the same.

But along with the photo came another nugget of information – the BlackBerry 9780 packs 512MB RAM (double than its predecessor) and will likely have a 5MP camera.

That’s all we have on the BlackBerry 9780 (be it Bold2 or not) for now. Of course, these are all preliminary specs and might change.

The BlackBerry 9800 slider has been around for some time, but here it is again. The unit shot below is AT&T branded and runs BlackBerry OS 6.0.
