BlackBerry Atlas revealed (Updated)

A new BlackBerry device has been spotted. We’re still learning all the details but pictures are giving us a good idea of what this device could be all about.

Originally suspected of being a CDMA variant of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 (codename Javelin), the latest information suggests that it will be another GSM device (or a dual CDMA/GSM world phone perhaps?). The back of the device identifies it as a Bold but it will come with EDGE only (ie, no 3G) and its keyboard is based on that of the Javelin. Other known details are that it will have a camera flash and use a trackpad.

There is no word yet on availability and pricing.

Update: Salomondrin has landed new information that suggests that the Atlas will be a Bold device for the China and East Asia markets. It may have been known as the Driftwood earlier.
