Blackberry Bold 9700 Onyx

The BlackBerry Onyx 9700 is shaping up to be the next generation BlackBerry Bold. The specifications as well as some form factor features are confirming that this is the BlackBerry Bold sequel.
While Onyx is the codename that we re hearing right now, it could very well be changed once it hits a carrier, which will likely be AT&T first. Its likely that AT&T will drop the Onyx codename once it hits the market, and may simply go with BlackBerry Bold 9700 or the BlackBerry Bold 2.
