It's the same picture from the boy genius site! Someone may be trying to pull a fast one here.

That is the exact same picture from boygeniusreport website, it even has the same watermark (think thats engadgets watermark) this is quite clearly a scam and anyone foolish enough to go for it deserves to be scammed!!

That's ebay's watermark. The eBay seller is the source of this pic. Obviously he/she didn't say it's a 9000 series and has no clue it seems yet many news sites choose to hint that.

E.g of eBay watermark:

The seller has great feedback (high numbers and does a lot of business) and the auction is up to $255, with only a few hours left..lot of buyers looking at this item.

Anyone email the seller? I just sent them a "question", so we'll see if I get an answer.

I think it is really the 9000 series. I repeat IS the 9000 series. Possibly stolen prototype. It is being sold in Grand Prairie, Texas. Aprox 8 miles away from RIM's Dallas (Irving) Offices.

I could be wrong of course as well. I do suffer from Foot-In-Mouth disease quite often...lol

Oh, thats the Blackberry Iphone-Centro-Q.

Can anyone verify that RIM is doing away with the trackball? I went to phonescoop.com to compare pics of 8800 series, and there the trackball looks flat like the one for the supposed 9xxx series. So do we have any confirmation that there will be no more trackball? I love the trackball. As long as it doesn't go touch screen, I'll be happy.

Its actually shorter than that depending on what part of Grand prarie...

Remember ATT has offices based in Dallas as well..... In las calinas

[j llama]

Does it look like the letter "B" is backwards at the top? I downloaded the JPEG and zoomed in.

Instead of BlackBerry, it looks like Black"backwards B"erry.

Hard to tell. If that's backwards, then this would be a fake. I am so confused....lol

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~ its a knock off one of the chinese ones there was a story about it on this site awhile back.

it could very well be a dummy phone of a new series comming soon. id love to bid on it. but its sold as-is.. and the phone wont power up. and hes using words like propbably. and maybe. why would ya pay 300 or more for a plastic phone that wont work. its nice looking but im not trusting it at the moment
