Kevin Michaluk is always the first to post hands-on reviews of the latest and greatest RIM BlackBerry devices and continues that trend with his review of the BlackBerry Onyx. The Onyx is a non-touch screen device, but as Kevin mentions every other one of these has had one area of compromise and this one packs it all in with 3G, WiFi, GPS, and a 3.2 megapixel camera in a compact form factor.
CrackBerry.com does a great job with this first impressions article that has photos, a video and lots of details about this device. Keep in mind this is a pre-release device and details on when and where it will launch are still very sketchy.
The device has a 480x360 resolution display and seems to be closest in form factor to the Curve 8900, which is a very good device with a compact form factor and highly capable QWERTY keyboard.
