Still waiting for BlackBerry’s Onyx to hit the retail thoroughfares? You’re not alone. Despite this thing being spotted on the townmonths ago it’s still not available through proper channels — but then there’s always eBay, where a “pre-release” Onyx is now available for you bidding pleasure. The AT&T-bound smartphone sports a 3.2 megapixel camera, 480 x 360 display, GPS and WiFi, and a slinkier form factor. Bidding has just crossed the $600 mark on this “new, never opened” phone, but as it has in fact been opened (clearly shown in the auction’s terrible pictures) you might want to set that sniping ceiling just a little lower than your heart may call for.

Looks like RIM’s getting serious about optical trackballs — first the Curve 8520 ditched the spinner and now it looks like the Onyx has been upgraded as well. That’s pretty much just as we’ve all expected ever since we first laid eyes on this 3G mashup of the Bold and Curve 8900, and we’re pretty stoked about it, since we find optical trackballs to be pretty great. Of course, there’s no word on a ship date, but we’re hoping it’ll be soon.

We’ve obtained pictures of a device that we’re told is the “Onyx,” a 3G-enabled GSM BlackBerry that looks like a slightly sexier, smaller version of the Bold with some Niagara / Tour genes thrown in for good measure. We’d previously heard that this phone is ultimately destined for AT&T (while a UMA-enabled version might come to T-Mobile as the Driftwood), which definitely takes the edge off of the impending 8900 launch over there — but then again, this is a prototype, and it’ll be many moons (at best) before this thing gets launched. Every time we look at the Bold, it looks more out of proportion — and sexy beasts like this one certainly aren’t helping matters. Keep on keepin’ on, RIM.
