We saw the quick half a minute clip of the BlackBerry Monza/Monaco before, but it wasn’t that clear and was too much of a tease.  BGR got some nice photos up of the device showing off the device and a glimpse at OS 6.1.

The Monza is supposedly the T-Mobile version as we heard at the “See BlackBerry Different” event by T-Mobile.  The Monaco seems to be CDMA, targeted towards Verizon, and maybe even Sprint.  More pictures after the jump!

The BlackBerry Storm 3 is a device that was quite confusing for about a year now since we never were able to keep up with RIM on seeing what exactly they had in mind to do with it.  We even saw Storm 2 refreshes hit presentations but the idea seemed to get scrapped after a while.  Then just recently, the picture got clearer and we started seeing the BlackBerry Monza which T-Mobile has stated to carry and Monaco which is the CDMA version.  Now we see the BlackBerry 9850, which sports a higher screen resolution than what we’ve seen with the Torch 2, which leaves us assuming it is the Storm 3 Monza/Monaco.  Here are the specs we spotted in the UAProf doc:

• 480×800 screen resolution
• OS 6.1
• GSM/GPRS/EDGE
• CDMA/EVDO

So it’s significantly higher in resolution and we see a confirmation of CDMA/EVDO in the bunch.  The BlackBerry Storm 3 got a small video teaser recently which didn’t impress many, but we have to keep in mind that it’s still an unreleased device with hopefully an early release OS.

Ok so here we go.  We let you know about T-Mobile holding a “See BlackBerry Different” event for employees and we weren’t quite sure what would be displayed.  For starters, the carrier is expected to have the BlackBerry PlayBook, offering the WiFi model only with no 3G/4G model in talks (according to the event).  PlayBooks were displayed all around the exhibit for employees to finger for a bit before the presentation started.
