Edgy luxury BlackBerry 9900 prototype glimpsed
A CrackBerry forum member has found images of an unknown BlackBerry device on Chinese site MaxPDA.
The mystery BlackBerry bears a strong resemblance to the Bold 9900, in layout at least, while MaxPDA claims it is a BlackBerry 9980. With wide, indented keys and a very angular style, it's certainly a surprising departure from the BlackBerrys we're familiar with. The large "PROCEEDING" label above the screen is also unusual – denoting a prototype, perhaps?
Engadget spoke to the Beijing-based source, who claims he has sold three of the prototype devices and also that it will be officially going on sale in a limited quantity after having a luxury "diamond" makeover.
What do you think? Would you be interested in an edgier BlackBerry?

Meh, looks pretty fake to me. Plus being from China, doesn't make it seem any mor plausible that this is an official BlackBerry
