It appears that the BlackBerry Monaco has made its way in front of the camera in this short video. The Monaco most likely will not carry the Storm since there is no SurePress on this device which is a feature of the Storm series. The Monaco which is a CDMA variant is showing off Verizon branding, and should be  released with BlackBerry 6.1.

Here are the reported specs for this device:

• Dimensions: Sleek, thin profile – 11.5mm thick (120 x 62 x 11.5 mm)
• Processor: Qualcomm 1.2GHz Processor
• Radio: Dual band CDMA, EV-DO Rev A, RX Diversity ; Quad band EDGE / Single Band UMTS
• Display: 3.7" – 800x480 resolution, 15:9 aspect ration, 253 DPI
• Camera: 5 MP – Flash – Image Stabilization – HD Video Recording (720p)
• Navigation: Capacitive touch + BlackBerry navigation keys + optical navigation module. One convenience key
• Memory: 4GB storage + 768MB RAM + up to 32GB MicroSD
• WiFi/GPS: Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n + GPS + Bluetooth 2.1 EDR + Mobile HotSpot
• Connectivity: Micro USB – Bluetooth – NFC
• Sensors: Magnetometer – Accelerometer – Proximity
• Software: Enhanced BlackBerry SW v.6.1, BlackBerry Evolution 6, Open GL ES 2.0, APIs for magnetometer and augmented reality apps

Since BlackBerry World is not until May, the device could be announced there or one has to wonder if it would emerge in the spring this year.
